Why We Left

"Why We Left draws creatively on early folk ballads of England and America to make a surprising, bold, and altogether brilliant contribution to our understanding of why people crossed the Atlantic to live in a strange new world. Haunting voices sing to us across the centuries a rich and disturbing ‘history from below.’" -Marcus Rediker, author of The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom "Joanna Brooks compellingly recreates the lives of British peasants who came to the New World.  She traces their collective memories through the folk ballads sung by their descendants and collected diligently by scholars and revivalists. Riveting, harrowing, Why We Left will forever change the way we listen to ‘folk music.’" -Charles McGovern, William and Mary "Why We Left is an insightful, penetrating, sad, and yet delightful history of English migration to colonial America."-Journal of American Ethnic History "A remarkable achievement, Why We Left is a story of the grim costs of modernity that left remnants in cultural artifacts-a fascinating journey through unique and creative readings into the lives of the early Anglo-American poor, indentured servitude, the Atlantic world, balladry, and the personal upheavals wrought by the earliest pushes of European colonialism."-The Register "I would recommend [Why We Left] to anyone interested in looking at the ‘other side’ of colonization."-Journal of Folklore Research "Introduces an unexpected archive for American literary study: American folk ballads."-Resources for American Literary Study

American Lazarus

American Lazarus launches an important and powerful refiguring of early American literature--a refiguring made possible by contemporary theories of race and colonization, but one governed nevertheless by Brooks's insistence on reading African American and Native American writers of the eighteenth century with rigorous attention to the religious and political contexts that produced them.

Messy Beginnings

When exploring the links between America and post-colonialism, scholars tend to think either in terms of contemporary multiculturalism, or of imperialism since 1898. This book challenges the idea of early America's immunity from issues of imperialism.

Decolonizing Mormonism

This volume seeks nothing less than to shift the focus of Mormon studies from its historic North American, Euro-American ""centre"" to the critical questions being raised by Mormons living at the movement's cultural and geographic margins.
