SUMMARY:Tosh: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World
DESCRIPTION:TOSH is a memoir of growing up as the son of an enigmatic\, much-admired\, hermetic\, and ruthlessly bohemian artist during the waning years of the Beat Generation and the heyday of hippie counterculture. A critical figure in the history of postwar American culture\, Tosh Berman’s father\, Wallace Berman\, was known as the “father of assemblage art\,” and was the creator of the legendary mail-art publication Semina. Wallace Berman and his wife\, famed beauty and artist’s muse Shirley Berman\, raised Tosh between Los Angeles and San Francisco\, and their home life was a heady atmosphere of art\, music\, and literature\, with local and international luminaries regularly passing through. \nTosh Berman is a writer\, poet\, and publisher of TamTam Books. As a publisher\, he focused on post-war French figures such as Boris Vian\, Guy Debord\, Serge Gainsbourg and French gangster Jacques Mesrine\, as well as publishing Sparks (Ron Mael & Russell Mael) and Lun*na Menoh. His previous book Sparks-Tastic (2013) is a combination of travel journal and thoughts on the band Sparks. His book of poems The Plum in Mr. Blum’s Pudding (2014) came out through Penny-Ante Editions. He authored the introduction to Wallace Berman: American Aleph from the Michael Kohn Gallery in 2016.

SUMMARY:Elena Schneider & Caitlin Rosenthal - - The Occupation of Havana & Accounting for Slavery
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes Elena Schneider and Caitlin Rosenthal to discuss their new new books The Occupation of Havana and Accounting for Slavery\, on Friday\, February 1st at 7pm. \nThe Occupation of Havana offers a nuanced and poignantly human account of the British capture and Spanish recovery of this coveted Caribbean city. The book explores both the interconnected histories of the British and Spanish empires and the crucial role played by free people of color and the enslaved in the creation and defense of Havana. Tragically\, these men and women would watch their promise of freedom and greater rights vanish in the face of massive slave importation and increased sugar production upon Cuba’s return to Spanish rule. By linking imperial negotiations with events in Cuba and their consequences\, Elena Schneider sheds new light on the relationship between slavery and empire at the dawn of the Age of Revolutions. \nAccounting for Slavery is a unique contribution to the decades-long effort to understand New World slavery’s complex relationship with capitalism. Through careful analysis of plantation records\, Caitlin Rosenthal explores the development of quantitative management practices on West Indian and Southern plantations. She shows how planter-capitalists built sophisticated organizational structures and even practiced an early form of scientific management. They subjected enslaved people to experiments\, such as allocating and reallocating labor from crop to crop\, planning meals and lodging\, and carefully recording daily productivity. The incentive strategies they crafted offered rewards but also threatened brutal punishment. \n  \n* * * \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nElena Schneider is a historian of Latin America and the Atlantic World. Her teaching focuses on Cuba and the Caribbean\, comparative colonialism and slavery\, and the Black Atlantic. Professor Schneider’s research explores the ways that war\, trade\, and slavery integrated the Atlantic world across regional and what would later become national boundaries. \nCaitlin Rosenthal is a historian of 18th and 19th century U.S. history. Her research focuses on the development of management practices\, especially those based on data analysis. She seeks to blend qualitative and quantitative methods and to combine insights from business history\, economic history\, and labor history. Before coming to Berkeley\, she was the Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Business School\, and before that she worked as a consultant with McKinsey & Company. Her work is motivated by the hope that more complete histories of management can help us to explore deep political and ethical questions\, many of which continue to face modern businesspeople. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nFriday\, February 1\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618
