SUMMARY:Writing About Empire: Literature\, History\, and the American Past
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in-person at the Newberry and livestreamed on Zoom. The online version of this event will be live captioned. Please register below. \nIn-Person Registration \nLivestream Registration \nHow do novelists and historians write about war\, empire\, and power? How do they translate deep research into compelling narrative? How do they think about evidence—and the absence of evidence—as they write? Are there lines between educating readers and providing them with gripping stories? \nThis installment of “Conversations at the Newberry” brings together two writers\, Nicholson Baker and Daniel Immerwahr\, who explore themes of American empire. Though they approach their work through different lenses and write in different styles\, both Baker and Immerwahr dig into the complex histories of US foreign relations. In this conversation\, they’ll think together about how literature and historical writing have shaped understandings of American power.

Please register below. \nIn-Person Registration \nLivestream Registration \nThis installment of “Conversations at the Newberry” features award-winning novelists Rebecca Makkai and Meg Wolitzer. \nIn this event\, Chicago author Rebecca Makkai (I Have Some Questions for You\, The Great Believers) will interview New York-based and New York Times bestselling author Meg Wolitzer (The Female Persuasion\, The Interestings) about a life in books\, her growth as an author\, her film adaptations—including 2017’s The Wife—and her new role as host of Public Radio’s popular Selected Shorts podcast. \nThis program also marks the launch of a new series curated by Rebecca Makkai and StoryStudio\, which will pair major visiting authors in conversation with local discussion partners.

You’ll also be able to purchase books and have them signed. \n  \nThe event\, generously sponsored by Sue and Melvin Gray and presented in collaboration with StoryStudio Chicago\, is free to the public. \nMakkai’s latest book\, I Have Some Questions for You\, along with her 2018 novel The Great Believers\, are available for purchase at the Newberry Bookshop. \nWolitzer’s novels\, The Female Persuasion (2018) and The Interestings (2013) are available for purchase at the Newberry bookshop.

SUMMARY:Surviving the Long Wars: Exhibition Close-Up and Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in-person at the Newberry. Advance registration required. \nJoin military veterans and poets Erika Renee Land\, Monty Little (Diné)\, Dunya Mikhail\, and Carlos Sirah for an evening of poetry exploring the disparate impacts of war and the search for a path toward solidarity. \nThis event will also provide a closer look at the Newberry exhibition Surviving the Long Wars: Residues and Rebellions. The exhibition coincides with the second Veteran Art Triennial and Summit\, held this year in Chicago. The exhibition at the Newberry is open February 28 – May 27\, 2023. \nAbout the SURVIVING THE LONG WARS Project:\nFrom the US “Indian Wars” to the “Global War on Terror\,” SURVIVING THE LONG WARS explores the multiple overlapping histories that shape our understanding of warfare\, as well as alternative visions of peace\, healing\, and justice generated by diverse communities impacted by war. \nInspired by the powerful artwork of Indigenous and Native American artists responding to the US “Indian Wars\,” and artists of the Greater Middle East reacting to the “Global War on Terror\,” the second Veteran Art Triennial and Summit focuses on how these artistic responses complicate and entangle with the artistic practices of veterans. The featured artworks\, projects\, and programs create opportunities for people to deepen their understanding of the impact of war. \nThe project began in September 2022 with a virtual scholarly seminar series at the nexus of critical ethnic studies\, Native/Indigenous studies\, and Middle Eastern Studies on the histories and futures of Native rebellion alongside contemporary US militarism and warfare. The project culminates in the spring 2023 second Veteran Art Triennial and Summit at the Chicago Cultural Center\, Hyde Park Art Center\, and Newberry Library. \nRelated Exhibitions and Programming: \nVeteran Art Summit: March 16 – March 19\, 2023 \nHyde Park Art Center Exhibition: March 16 – July 9\, 2023; Opening Program: March 17\, 2023 \nChicago Cultural Center Exhibition: March 4 – June 4\, 2023; Opening Program: March 18\, 2023 \nCredits: \nSURVIVING THE LONG WARS is organized by Aaron Hughes\, Ronak K. Kapadia\, Therese Quinn\, Joseph Lefthand\, Amber Zora\, and Meranda Roberts with support from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) Institute for the Humanities Innovation Grant\, UIC Award for Creative Activity\, Chicago Cultural Center\, Hyde Park Art Center\, Newberry Library\, DEMIL Art Fund\, and the National Endowment for the Humanities Dialogues on the Experiences of War Grant.

SUMMARY:Writing a Personal Urban History —The Importance of Genealogy and Local History for Understanding US Histor
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in-person at the Newberry and livestreamed on Zoom. The online version of this event will be live captioned. Please register below. \nIn-Person Registration \nLivestream Registration \nAcademic historians have sometimes struggled to understand how local and family histories illuminate national histories. Are they just exceptional\, or can they provide new insights into some of the most challenging historical questions? Leslie M. Harris is among a group of historians who have turned to their own family and personal experiences as inspiration for writing history. The Newberry’s collections on local history and genealogy provide a productive intellectual context for her work. \nIn this program\, Dr. Harris will discuss with the Newberry’s Daniel Greene what it means for her\, as a professional historian\, to turn to her own and her family’s life as an inspiration for writing history. \nThe David L. Wagner Distinguished Lectureship for Humanistic Inquiry Series is funded by David L. Wagner and Renie B. Adams.

SUMMARY:Mutinous Women: How French Convicts Became Founding Mothers of the Gulf Coast
DESCRIPTION:This program will be livestreamed on Zoom. Free and open to all. Register in advance here. \nJoin us as Joan DeJean and Jack McCord use maps from the Newberry collection to recreate the European settlement of the vast territory in North America that the French named Louisiana\, and to tell the story of one remarkable woman\, Marie Baron. \nOn February 27\, 1720\, Marie Baron and 95 other female inmates who had been serving time in a notorious Parisian prison were abandoned on an uninhabited island off the Gulf Coast. Most of the women had\, like Marie Baron\, been falsely charged with “public prostitution.” Those who survived their deportation on a ship named La Mutine\, “the Mutinous Woman\,” forged such remarkable lives that their impact on this country continues\, three centuries later. Their lives are recounted in Joan DeJean’s new book\, Mutinous Women: How French Convicts Became Founding Mothers of the Gulf Coast. \nIn Louisiana\, Marie Baron became a person of note and the wife of Jean François Dumont—a mapmaker responsible for many extraordinary maps in the Newberry collection. Dumont recorded events in Louisiana’s history that he himself had not witnessed but that his wife had\, embedding her perspective into his vision of the European settlement of North America. \nSigned copies of Joan DeJean’s book Mutinous Women are available for purchase online from the Newberry Bookshop. \nThis event is cosponsored by the Alliance Française de Chicago.

SUMMARY:Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in person at the Newberry and also livestreamed on Zoom. Free and open to all. Advance registration required. \nIn-Person Registration \nLivestream Registration \nJoin us for a conversation with historians Tara Zahra and Kevin Boyle about Dr. Zahra’s new book\, Against the World: Anti-Globalism and Mass Politics Between the World Wars. They will discuss how nationalism\, rather than internationalism\, came to ensnare world politics in the early twentieth century. \nBefore World War I\, enthusiasm for a borderless world seemed to be gaining traction. And yet a backlash against globalization was growing. As the war progressed\, air escaped from the globalist balloon in the United States and across Europe\, where war and disease led to mass societal upheaval. \nAgainst the World will be available for purchase in the Newberry Bookshop\, as will Dr. Boyle’s recent book\, The Shattering: America in the 1960s. Both authors will sign books after the program.

SUMMARY:The Year the Stars Fell: Toward a Continental History of a Very Few Hours
DESCRIPTION:D’Arcy McNickle Distinguished Lecture with Philip Deloria\nOct 20\, 2022\n6:00pm-7:30pm\nHybrid – Ruggles Hall and Zoom \nThis program will be held in-person at the Newberry\, 60 West Walton Street\, Chicago\, and livestreamed on Zoom. \nIn the early morning of November 13\, 1833\, meteors from the annual Leonid showers fell in such abundance\, frequency\, and size that people across North America ran from their homes to contemplate the celestial light show. In the winter count calendars of the Great Plains\, the “Year the Stars Fell” has been used to link up disparate local histories. But the event appears in memory and in writing all across the continent\, from enslaved African Americans in the South to Latter Day Saints and Second Great Awakening revivalists in small towns\, to the scientists of Philadelphia\, Cambridge\, and New Haven\, among others. \nIn this year’s D’Arcy McNickle Distinguished Lecture\, historian Philip Deloria will discuss how the falling stars called into question assumptions about faith\, reason\, and nature. Making connections across time and place\, Deloria will also explore how these stars can help us understand an unknowably broad geography in the narrowest of historical moments. \nSpeakers \nPhil Deloria is a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation and Professor of History at Harvard University\, where his research and teaching focus on the social\, cultural\, and political histories of the relations among American Indian peoples and the United States\, as well as the comparative and connective histories of Indigenous peoples in a global context. Dr. Deloria is the author of many books and articles\, including Playing Indian and Indians in Unexpected Places\, both of which are widely recognized as essential texts in the fields of Native American and Indigenous Studies\, and American Studies. Deloria is also a trustee of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian and serves at the liaison for Harvard University within the Newberry Consortium in American Indian and Indigenous Studies. \nFred Hoxie is an esteemed historian of Indigenous peoples in North America and Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. Dr. Hoxie was on staff at the Newberry for fifteen years\, where he served first as the Director of the D’Arcy McNickle Center and later as Vice President for Research and Education. Hoxie is the author of many books and articles related to Indigenous history and has also served as a consultant and expert witness for the U.S. Department of Justice\, the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs\, the National Congress of American Indians\, and the National Park Service. \nDorene Wiese is a citizen of the White Earth Ojibwe Nation and CEO of the American Indian Association of Illinois. Dr. Wiese’s relationship with the Newberry spans nearly fifty years and includes serving as the co-chair of the Newberry American Indian Oral History Project (1982-1985) and the Seeing Indian in Chicago Photography Exhibition (1985). Wiese also serves on the Advisory Group for the library’s current Indigenous Chicago project\, which will debut in 2024. \nThis program is free and open to all. \nRegister to attend IN PERSON. \nRegister to attend virtually ON ZOOM.

SUMMARY:A Show of Hands: Handwriting in the Age of Print
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, handwriting served as a powerful tool for communicating information\, preserving knowledge\, shaping identity\, and building empires. In our digital world\, however\, fewer and fewer people can read handwritten words. \nHandwriting has survived disruptive technologies before. The invention of printing did not diminish the need for handwriting. Instead\, it created new markets for ambitious printers and entrepreneurial writing teachers. These men and women used advances in print technologies to widen the influence of handwriting in everyday life. \nA Show of Hands focuses on people\, cultures\, and technology to illustrate how handwriting has been taught\, reproduced\, and reimagined over the past five hundred years. Displaying a range of books and manuscripts from the Newberry’s collection\, the exhibition makes the role of handwriting in the age of print newly legible. \nA Show of Hands is generously supported by the Richard C. von Hess Foundation\, the Fitzgerald Family Foundation\, and Diane and Richard Weinberg.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Making Mexican Chicago
DESCRIPTION:In Making Mexican Chicago\, Mike Amezcua offers a powerful multiracial history of Chicago that sheds new light on the origins and endurance of urban inequality. Amezcua visits the Newberry to discuss how the Windy City became a postwar Latinx metropolis in the face of white resistance. \nThough Chicago is often popularly defined by its Polish\, Black\, and Irish populations\, Cook County is home to the third-largest Mexican American population in the United States. The story of Mexican immigration and integration into the city is one of complex political struggles\, deeply entwined with issues of housing and neighborhood control. \nIn the decades after World War II\, working-class Chicago neighborhoods like Pilsen and Little Village became sites of upheaval and renewal. Mexican Americans attempted to build new communities in the face of white resistance that cast them as perpetual aliens. Mike Amezcua charts the diverse strategies used by Mexican Chicagoans to fight the forces of segregation\, economic predation\, and gentrification\, focusing on how unlikely combinations of social conservatism and real estate market savvy paved new paths for Latinx assimilation. \nFor this event\, Amezcua will speak with James Akerman\, Curator of Maps at the Newberry and the curator of the exhibition Crossings: Mapping American Journeys. \nPurchase Making Mexican Chicago online from the Newberry Bookshop. \nThis event is being held in conjunction with Crossings: Mapping American Journeys . The exhibition runs at the Newberry from February 25 through June 25.\n \n  \nThis program is free and open to all; free tickets required.
