&ldquo;In The Whiteness of Wealth, Brown brings the American tax code to life. Hands shape it and wield it like a shield in the defense of the most powerful among us. The tax code tells a story about American priorities. The news isn&rsquo;t good, Brown writes, but there&rsquo;s still time to change the future.&rdquo;&mdash;New York&ldquo;[An] accessible and lively . . . primer on how wealth works in America.&rdquo;&mdash;Bloomberg Businessweek&ldquo;This enlightening book is a vital companion to The New Jim Crow, The Color of Wealth, and Evicted, for how it reimagines everything you thought you knew about U.S. social policy.&rdquo;&mdash;Tressie McMillan Cottom, MacArthur Fellow and author of Thick: And Other Essays&ldquo;This book is a tour de force. With clarity and conviction, Dorothy Brown reveals how U.S. tax policy sustains and deepens the wealth gap between black and white Americans. As I read&#160;The Whiteness of Wealth,&#160;I found myself shaking my head as I eagerly turned the pages and shouting &lsquo;damn&rsquo; with each revelation.

"Elizabeth Spencer's Complicated Cartographiesis a fine work of criticism and scholarship, masterly in its clarity, depth of insight informed by command of southern literary history and current feminist and postcolonial theory. The book is a model for the illuminating connections it makes between fiction and biography and is equally impressive in its careful tracing of Spencer's development as a southern writer in terms of her evolving conceptions of "home" and "identity" as reflected in her changing relation to the principles of the Fugitive-Agrarian writers in which her first "Mississippi" novels are grounded." - Elsa Nettles, author of Language and Gender in American Fiction: Howells, James, Wharton, and Cather.

"Catherine Seltzer s Elizabeth Spencer s Complicated Cartographies is a beautifully written, perceptive account of one of America s greatest living writers. Although born in Mississippi, Spencer refused to limit the localities of her many novels, stories and plays to that region, perhaps being most frequently recognized as the author of the located-in-Italy novella, The Light in the Piazza. As Seltzer notes in her conclusion and elsewhere, Spencer s fiction "suggests new cartographies of the southern home, those literal - in its expansion of the borders of southern experience; spiritual - in its exploration of her characters complex responses to a myriad of homes; and artistic - in its growing challenge to the expectations established by her literary mentors." As Seltzer goes on to say, more than any other Southern writer Spencer has a "gift for merging familiar and foreign terrain," thereby challenging conventional southern ideological topographies, implying that "that there is much more of southern identity to be mapped." Seltzer s insightful criticism makes her audience want to reread all of Spencer s masterful oeuvre." - Kimball King, Professor Emeritus, The University of North Carolina and one-time Chair of the Conference of Editors of Learned Journals

"Elizabeth Spencer, known most widely for her 1960 novella Light in the Piazza ,published first in the New Yorker, subsequently serving as the basis for a film ,and then decades later an award-winning broadway musical, has proved an elusive literary figure, difficult to categorize and contain. In this study, Catherine Seltzer skillfully charts Spencer's fifty-year career by setting it along side the changing currents of American culture." - Hubert H. McAlexander, Meigs Professor, University of Georgia

"Seltzer's discussion is enriched by her interviews with Spencer and her research in Spencer manuscript archives. Recommended." - CHOICE
