This includes the Political Pamphlets collection from the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, African Trade Union pamphlets from Nuffield College at Oxford, and the Marjorie Nicholson Papers on international trade unionism.</p>
45. <p>This archive is structured into thematic sections that address different facets of decolonization. These sections cover topics such as the rise of nationalist movements, key figures who led their nations to independence, and the residual impacts of colonial rule including economic dependencies and the development of new national identities. Additionally, it explores the involvement of international bodies like the United Nations in supporting decolonization efforts.</p>

124. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">We are excited to share that, as of today, the UC Berkeley Library’s Office of Scholarly Communication Services (OSCS) is now called </span><b>Scholarly Communication and Information Policy (SCIP)</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. </span></p>
125. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">We made this change to better serve </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">YOU</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400">! We wanted the UC Berkeley campus and the world to understand and rely upon the breadth of services we offer. The inclusion of “information policy” in our name more accurately and effectively communicates our support not just for scholarly publishing, but also for copyright, contracts, licensing, privacy, and ethics matters within research, scholarship, and instruction. </span></p>
126. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Since 2016, our office has provided (</span><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hHj_O1Nbf3u701qziMlPS8j95H1G0Pmn/view"><span style="font-weight: 400">an extraordinary volume of</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">) services to UC Berkeley on fundamental scholarly communication issues, including open access publishing, copyright and fair use in research and instruction, authors’ rights, scholarly impact, and beyond. But we also do much more to guide campus and the Library on related law and policy issues. </span></p>
127. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">To that end, the term “information policy” can be thought of as the application or shaping of laws, regulations, or doctrinal positions affecting information creation, access, and use. And that’s exactly what we do. For example: </span></p>
128. <ul>
129. <li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Electronic resource licensing: </b><span style="font-weight: 400">We negotiate all of the Library’s electronic resources agreements;</span></li>
130. <li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Legal issues in research &amp; teaching: </b><span style="font-weight: 400">We advise on accessibility, fair use, text and data mining, artificial intelligence, privacy, digital rights management, and intersections with international / foreign laws in research and instruction;</span></li>
131. <li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Permissions &amp; licensing: </b><span style="font-weight: 400">We oversee permissions and licensing for usage of library materials;</span></li>
132. <li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Special collections rights and contractual issues: </b><span style="font-weight: 400">We address rights issues and contracts to guide incoming collections and collection digitization;</span></li>
133. <li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Policy creation and advocacy: </b><span style="font-weight: 400">We advise on University and Library policies affecting scholars’ rights, and engage in broader legislative and regulatory advocacy; and more!</span></li>
134. </ul>
135. <p><span style="font-weight: 400">We believe that “information policy” better signals that we cover this wide range of law and policy matters, and are a trusted campus resource for support. Please continue to contact us at our same e-mail address (</span><a href="mailto:schol-comm@berkeley.edu"><span style="font-weight: 400">schol-comm@berkeley.edu</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">) if you need any help, or check out our website (</span><a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/research/scholarly-communication"><span style="font-weight: 400">https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/research/scholarly-communication</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">) which remains the same.</span></p><p>The post <a href="https://update.lib.berkeley.edu/2024/04/29/scholarly-communication-at-the-library-new-name-same-great-service/">Scholarly communication at the Library: New name, same great service</a> first appeared on <a href="https://update.lib.berkeley.edu">UC Berkeley Library Update</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

232. <p>If you’re looking to self-publish work of any length and want an easy-to-use tool that offers a high degree of customization, allows flexibility with publishing formats (EPUB, PDF), and provides web-hosting options, Pressbooks may be great for you. Pressbooks is often the tool of choice for academics creating digital books, open textbooks, and open educational resources, since you can license your materials for reuse however you desire. Learn why and how to use Pressbooks for publishing your original books or course materials. You’ll leave the workshop with a project already under way.</p>

En su mensaje, Clara me hizo saber que disponía de un ejemplar de los <em>Claros varones de Castilla</em>, edición príncipe de 1486, que perteneció a su abuelo y que, tras su fallecimiento en 1947, había sido custodiado por sus descendientes.</p>

278. <p>Hay que mencionar, de inicio, la modesta encuadernación en papel estucado (181mm x 135mm), que es apenas un milímetro mayor que la de los folios. Además, de todos los ejemplares que he examinado de primera mano, es el único que tiene una portada como la que se observa en la fotografía anterior. Tal como me indica <a href="https://www.sedic.es/maria-jose-rucio-zamorano/">María José Rucio Zamorano</a>, Jefa de Servicio de Manuscritos e Incunables de la BNE, parece haber sido dibujada a mano, imitando el estilo del impreso gótico. Al igual que ocurría con la inicial del primer folio antes comentada, es bastante probable que la portada se incorporase con posterioridad a la impresión del libro; de hecho, me atrevería a decir que, como mínimo, se remonta a los primeros años del siglo XVI, de ahí que se desarrolle el título como <em>Claros varones de España</em>, y no <em>d&#8217;Spaña</em>, que es como figura en la portada de la edición de 1500 reproducida más arriba. Es más interesante, sin duda, la anotación manuscrita y la firma del propio Artigas en el vuelto de la hoja de guarda, donde se nos informa de la procedencia y de la fecha de compra: &#8220;Lo adquirí de Bernardo López | Santander 29 enero 1916 | Miguel Artigas&#8221;. Asimismo, en la portada propiamente dicha, encontramos otros dos nombres, casi seguro que de antiguos posesores de la copia: arriba, &#8220;R. de Ulloa, 1900&#8221;. En la parte inferior central, debajo de un escudo heráldico, &#8220;fº de herrera&#8221;, que en buena lógica debería de ser alguien llamado Fernando de Herrera.</p>

280. <p>El estado del ejemplar es bueno, sobre todo porque ha conservado la tabla de capítulos completa, algo que no es demasiado frecuente en las copias de este incunable que he examinado hasta ahora. En la parte negativa, hay que mencionar la existencia de algunas rozaduras en la parte central de los folios iniciales, que van disminuyendo progresivamente hasta el c1r, sin que haya pérdida de texto en ninguno de los casos. La copia no está foliada, como todas las demás de la <em>editio princeps</em>, sino que se sigue su orden a partir de las signaturas de cuaderno, que es la numeración que se seguirá en esta descripción.</p>

282. <p>Remitiendo a los detalles codicológicos más pormenorizados a su <a href="https://t.co/EoIIOJdaCz">ficha</a> en nuestra base de datos, tan solo destacaré en esta presentación en sociedad del incunable algunos detalles curiosos.

285. <p>El códice también contiene algunas pruebas de pluma, muy toscas, en la parte superior del folio c5, con restos de humedad ciertamente visibles en el vuelto de esa hoja. Otra curiosidad destacable es la existencia de unas simpáticas manículas en c7v, que se usan para destacar la frase “E pues d&#8217;este caso se faze grand estima por los estoriadores”, junto con una anotación marginal que reza &#8220;mandamiento que los&#8221;, con referencia a la narración de una anécdota de batalla en la biografía de Pedro Fajardo (BETA bioid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=BETA/Display/1970BETA.Person.xml&amp;style=Person.xsl%0A%0A%20%0A%20%0A%20&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">1970</a>), protagonista parcial del <em>Razonamiento</em> a la reina Isabel la Católica (BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13399BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13399</a>),  que se encuentra en estos folios de la obra de Pulgar.</p>

289. <p>A pesar del buen estado general de la copia, hay que lamentar algunas pérdidas de folios. Domínguez Bordona, en 1923, especificó la falta de ocho en total (uno del cuaderno c y siete del cuaderno d). En realidad, ese último folio del cuaderno c es el primero del d, lo que supone la pérdida total de este cuaderno. Consecuentemente, faltan todos los textos que Pulgar dedicó a los prelados en su galería de ilustres, a saber: Juan de Torquemada, cardenal de San Sixto (d1v-d2v / BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13400BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13400</a>); Juan de Carvajal, cardenal de Santángelo (d2v-d3v / BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13401BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13401</a>); Alfonso Carrillo, arzobispo de Toledo (d3v-d4v / BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13402BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13402</a>); Alonso de Fonseca, arzobispo de Sevilla (d4v-d5r / BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13403BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13403</a>); Alonso de Santa María, obispo de Burgos (d5r-d6r / BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13404BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13404</a>); Francisco de Toledo, obispo de Coria (d6r-d7v / BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13405BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13405</a>); Alfonso de Madrigal <em>el Tostado</em>, obispo de Ávila (d7v-d8r / BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13406BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13406</a>); y Tello de Buendía, obispo de Córdoba (d8r-e1r / BETA texid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/13407BETA.Work.xml&amp;style=Work.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dfajardo%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">13407</a>).

295. <p>A esta notabilísima adquisición de un ejemplar de la edición príncipe hay que unir el hecho de que la BNE ya contaba entre sus fondos con una excelente representación de los <em>Claros varones de Castilla </em>de Pulgar: nada menos que un manuscrito del siglo XV, con signatura <a href="http://bdh.bne.es/bnesearch/detalle/bdh0000240895">MSS/20272/12</a> (BETA manid <a href="https://pb.lib.berkeley.edu/xtf/servlet/org.cdlib.xtf.dynaXML.DynaXML?source=/BETA/Display/4602BETA.MsEd.xml&amp;style=MsEd.xsl&amp;gobk=http%3A%2F%2Fpb.lib.berkeley.edu%2Fxtf%2Fservlet%2Forg.cdlib.xtf.crossQuery.CrossQuery%3Frmode%3Dphilo%26everyone%3D%26name%3Dpulgar%26title%3D%26daterange%3D%26assocplace%3D%26affiliation%3D%26subject%3D%26text-join%3Dand%26browseout%3Dperson%26sort%3Dauthor">4602</a>), antaño conservado en la <a href="https://cultura.castillalamancha.es/museos/nuestros-museos/museo-de-santa-cruz">Biblioteca del Museo de Santa Cruz de Toledo</a>. Se trata de un códice que, aunque parcial y fragmentario, la crítica considera como las pruebas de imprenta manejadas por el impresor Juan Vázquez para diseñar su edición de 1486. Como se trata de un manuscrito digitalizado, disponible de libre acceso a través de la <a href="http://bdh-rd.bne.es/viewer.vm?id=0000240895&amp;page=1">Biblioteca Digital Hispánica</a>, se puede ver con claridad esa consideración de banco de pruebas que contienen casi todos sus folios, con sus tachones, raspados y añadidos, tal como se ve en los dos que se reproducen abajo.</p>

299. <p>Al sumar hoy a sus fondos un ejemplar del impreso de la primera edición de 1486 que fuera propiedad de la familia Artigas, la BNE se convierte sin duda en el lugar más adecuado para estudiar los pormenores de la tradición textual de la obra cumbre de Pulgar. Y, por primera vez en más de cien años, ya no será necesario ir a una biblioteca fuera de España para consultar y leer este magnífico ejemplo incunable de prosa castellana del siglo XV. Así que solo queda agradecer su buen hacer a todas las personas implicadas en la adquisición y catalogación que han permitido hoy la puesta de largo del códice, en especial a Clara Artigas, por las facilidades dadas para su consulta. Y si algún lector o alguna lectora sabe del paradero de cualquier otro ejemplar de las obras de Pulgar, soy todo oídos <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

327. <p>On March 9, 2024, California lost one of its most revered public servants. For over forty years, Joseph Bodovitz stood at the center of the state&#8217;s regulatory process.  He was the founding executive director of both the San Francisco Bay  Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) and the California Coastal Commission. He was the executive director of the Public Utility Commission and headed up the California Environmental Trust. And before retirement, he agreed to serve as the project director for Bay Vision 2020. To be sure, his fingerprints could be found—one way or another—on some of the most important regulatory policies and decisions passed in California during the twentieth century—actions that would come to impact people throughout the Golden State, both then and now.</p>
328. <p>Joe, as most knew him, did not initially set his sights on government work. Born in Oklahoma City during the Great  Depression, he studied English literature at Northwestern University, and after serving in the Korean War, earned a graduate degree in journalism at Columbia University. In 1956, he accepted a job as a reporter with the <em>San Francisco Examiner</em>, allowing him to return to a state and region for which the young Oklahoman had grown fond during his military service with the Navy. In the early 1960s, Bodovitz left journalism to take a position with the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association, an organization whose work in urban policy and development had become critical in the postwar boom of San Francisco. Such work proved a good fit for Bodovitz, whose reporting at the <em>Examiner</em> focused on politics and urban redevelopment in the city. By 1964, his reputation and work at SPUR had caught the attention of Eugene McAteer, a state senator from San Francisco who sought to establish a government study on regulating development and fill in the San Francisco Bay. Bodovitz not only joined that new group, he took the lead in crafting what would become known as the Bay Plan. When finished, he also agreed to serve as the founding executive director of the new regulatory agency that plan created, BCDC.</p>
329. <p>Bodovitz was entering uncharted waters in his role at BCDC. There was no precedent for this kind of environmental regulation back in 1965. In fact, BCDC was the first regulatory agency of its kind in the nation. That meant Bodovitz, with the help of commission chair Melvin B. Lane, was charged with creating a regulatory structure and policy from scratch. The task was daunting, especially in light of the array of forces they confronted throughout the process, from city mayors and wealthy businesses to citizen groups and environmental organizations. For Bodovitz, the principle that guided his work was striking a balance between economic development and environmental conservation. &#8220;People sort of had to confront the legitimate interests of both conservation and development,&#8221; he recalled in his 1986 oral history. &#8220;They may disagree on a particular permit or a particular issue, but no fair-minded person can say marshlands aren&#8217;t important. Similarly, no fair-minded person can say ports aren&#8217;t important to the Bay Area economy.&#8221; As he would often point out, balance was the underlying principle of BCDC: &#8220;There is a reason why conservation <em>and </em>development are in the name.&#8221;</p>
330. <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Joe Bodovitz on Laying the Groundwork for a Successful Bay Conservation Development Commission" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GJK3F77Fjp0?start=3&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
331. <p>In 1972, California voters approved Proposition 20, which created another historic agency: the California Coastal Commission. And as quick as the votes were tallied around the creation of the new state agency, Bodovitz and Lane were asked to bring their expertise from BCDC to the regulation of the state&#8217;s 1,100-mile coastline.  In the familiar role of executive director, Bodovitz began to adapt the regulatory structure and policies of the bay to the coast, crafting what would become the coastal plan. His experience aside, the task proved even more daunting this time around. As Bodovitz recalled, the stakes were higher and the issues much more complex. &#8220;I don&#8217;t mean to make the BCDC planning sound simple because God knows it wasn&#8217;t; but relative to what we were dealing with in the Coastal Commission—it was simpler.&#8221; Ultimately, that work created a foundation for coastal regulation which would be studied around the world, and help made California one of the most pristine coastal regions of the Western Hemisphere. Fifty years later, the shorelines of Golden State still stand as a legacy of Bodovitz&#8217;s work.</p>
332. <p>Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Bodovitz&#8217;s public service on behalf of California continued. Shortly after he left the Coastal Commission in 1979, he was named executive director of the California Public Utilities Commission—the state agency charged with regulating utility companies throughout the state. Here, Bodovitz brought his experience and expertise to a range of important issues, from the breakup of telephone giant AT&amp;T to the rising debate about deregulation and its impact on the state&#8217;s utility services. After his terms with the PUC, Bodovitz was tapped to head the newly created California Environmental Trust, as well as serve as the project director for Bay Vision 2020, which created a plan for a regional Bay Area government. In both organizations, Bodovitz provided invaluable leadership in helping to address a new set of environmental and development issues at the dawn of the twenty-first century.</p>
333. <p>It is an oft-stated adage among those in politics that civil servants are the unsung heroes of government. They conduct the research, staff the committees and commissions, and do the legwork that turns a written bill into an effective public policy. Joe Bodovitz was one of California&#8217;s unsung heroes. The Oral History Center had the privilege of conducting two oral histories with Bodovitz, documenting his experience and insights for future generations. The first, published in 1986 as part of the Ronald Reagan Gubernatorial Era Project, covered his experience at BCDC. Segments of this oral history are featured in the OHC&#8217;s <em><a href="https://www.lib.berkeley.edu/about/news/voices">Voices for the Environment</a></em> exhibit and the accompanying podcast episode <a href="https://update.lib.berkeley.edu/2023/10/03/podcast-episode-2-tides-of-conservation-in-the-bancroft-gallery-exhibit-voices-for-the-environment-a-century-of-bay-area-activism/">&#8220;Tides of Conservation.&#8221;</a> The second oral history, published in 2015, offers an in-depth look at Bodovitz&#8217;s life and career. Both oral histories are available online through the links below.</p>
334. <p>Will Travis—another unsung hero of California in own right—perhaps said it best when writing the introduction for Bodovit&#8217;s 2015 oral history.</p>
335. <blockquote><p>By having Joe as my friend for over 40 years and watching how other people treat him, I’ve learned why the Yiddish word <em>mensch</em> had to be created. A <em>mensch</em> is a person of integrity and honor, someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character. In colloquial American English, a <em>mensch</em> is a stand-up kind of guy. Joe is a <em>mensch.</em></p></blockquote>

359. <p><strong>Peter Neil Carroll. <em>Sketches from Spain: Homage to the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. </em>ALBA Special Edition. Charlotte, NC: Main Street Rag Publishing Company, 2024.</strong></p>
360. <p>Scholar and poet Peter Carroll may be best known for his historical works on the Spanish Civil War and the 2,800 Americans who served in it. Building on <em>The Odyssey of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade: Americans in the Spanish Civil War (1994)</em> and <em>From Guernica to Human Rights: Essays on the Spanish Civil War (2015), </em>this new collection of poems is a tribute to those volunteers known as Lincolns. Longshoremen, sailors, teachers, students, novelists, poets, nurses, doctors, barbers, carpenters, florists, truck drivers, plummers, salesmen, tailors, artists, cabbies, musicians, and factory workers of all types joined the International Brigades to stop fascism from spreading in Europe. Men and women alike, Jews, African Americans, Asian Americans from virtually all fifty states united in a common cause to liberate the democratically elected Republic of Spain from a fascist uprising led by General Francisco Franco and the neighboring dictators who propped him up—Hitler and Mussolini. Through a lyrical collage of archival sources and blank verse, Carroll has assembled a poignant testimonial of those Americans he knew who enlisted in the Abraham Lincoln and Washington battalions of the International Brigades, more commonly referred to as the Lincoln Brigade after the war.</p>
361. <p>The Lincolns or <em>brigadistas</em> were united by the choice they made to risk it all crossing the Atlantic for an uncertain fate. The deceased, the survivors, and even the deserters get equal page space in Carroll’s kaleidoscope homage. But not all are typical heroes in these non-fiction poems. The first is dedicated to the fragmented unknown soldier:</p>
362. <p>Does it matter who he is<br />
363. or why he’s smiling, what he read?<br />
364. he was there,<br />
365. Spain 1937<br />
366. in ill-fitting trousers and shirt,<br />
367. fighting fascists,<br />
368. anonymous, immortal.</p>
369. <p>Other poems are dedicated to those who became known for their personal uniqueness, or the unique path they took to get to Spain. Many of these volunteers were first-generation children of immigrants from big cities, and small towns. One Lincoln was the son of an Ohio governor while another actually ran for governor of California in 1946. Among the better known is the charismatic Berkeley graduate student Robert Merriman—son of a lumberjack—and his wife Marion, who arrived from California via a research fellowship in Moscow. Novelist, journalist, and screenwriter Alvah Bessie was one of the “Hollywood 10” and appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947 where he refused to talk, and became “a minor star mingling with the left elite.” Another who rubbed shoulders with Ernest Hemingway—one of the most renowned chroniclers of the war—was a working class Jew from Brooklyn named Milton Wolff, who began as a machine gunner and was quickly promoted to battalion commander before returning home with the rest of the international volunteers in December 1938.</p>
370. <p>The war in Spain brought dignity to those discriminated against at home because of the color of their skin, such as Crawford Morgan:</p>
371. <p><em>In Spain I felt like a human being, a man.<br />
372. </em><em>People didn’t look at me with hatred in<br />
373. </em><em>their eyes because I was black, it is quite<br />
374. </em><em>a nice feeling to feel like a human being.</em></p>
375. <p><em> </em>Or Salaria Kea:</p>
376. <p>She stood out, the one African American<br />
377. woman in the Spanish Civil War, a nurse who<br />
378. spoke her mind, fought racism, saved lives.</p>
379. <p>Carroll’s poems, rarely more than a page, are structured around both known and little known facts which defined these volunteers, many whom Carroll was able to interview himself when they were alive. Nearly all joined the Communist party—a prerequisite of the Comintern’s recruitment and a decision which would follow the survivors back to the United States. Many Lincolns were persecuted, blacklisted, imprisoned, or driven to suicide or exile by their own government during the McCarthy era. Carroll’s verses locate the humanity in those volunteers who had broken and turned against the cause. Edward Barsky, on the other hand, was among so many like Bessie and others who paid a high price for refusing to name names:</p>
380. <p>[…] He went to prison—<br />
381. six months and a fine. Now a felon, he<br />
382. lost his New York medical license but<br />
383. what else could a good doctor do?</p>
384. <p>Whether they died in Spain, in the next World War, or in the U.S. most dedicated their lives to the struggle, taking up similar causes along the way. Carroll’s poems document how they found meaning and relevance in new fights against totalitarianism, racism, and anti-semitism in the 20th century. While many re-enlisted and served proudly in World War II, others protested American wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq as well as American covert operations in Cuba, Chile, and Central America.</p>
385. <p>Peter Carroll’s <em>Sketches from Spain: Homage to the Abraham Lincoln Brigade</em> is an accessible testament and representation of extraordinarily moving individuals who put their lives on the line to change the world. They recognized the high stakes at play in Spain, which so many Americans realized too late, as World War II would come to prove.</p>
