The reviewer has no idea where the "October 7, 1998 attack on the Egyptian covered spice bazaar" took place (113). The lengthy quote at the bottom of page 131 and the top of page 132 concerning Afghanistan and central Asia does not seem to have any relation to the discussion concerning Chechnya and Georgia that precedes it. The note on page 206 (16ff.) should be corrected from "Nizar" to "Nizam al-Mulk" (in any case his assassins were hardly suicide attackers; they made an attempt to flee and were later captured). In general, the attempt to use Zealots, Ismailis, and Thugs as historical antecedents for contemporary suicide attacks has serious problems, because none of these organizations conducted any operations that can be categorized together with suicide attacks (4-12).

Jaynes thoroughly reexamines the symbiotic nature of the sharecropping system for both planters and workers--how it offered planters a stable work force and offered workers relative freedom, a unified family, and payment for their labor--and analyzes the social and economic effects of sharecropping on the larger social structure. At the same time, he argues that the collective organization and self-help activities of the freedpeople, the democratic fever incited by black leaders and local agents of the Freedmen's Bureau, and the failure of federal policy were also key factors in the reorganization of the southern plantation and the entry of blacks into the post war economy.

Walter Lynwood Fleming Lectures in Southern History. (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2012. Pp. [x], 334. $38.00, ISBN 978-08071-4764-1.) It started as "a private joke," a "teasing tribute" to novelist Sherwood Anderson of Winesburg, Ohio (1919) fame, by two young artists named Bill (pp. 1, 3). Anderson, with his third wife in tow, moved from Chicago to New Orleans's French Quarter in the 1920s. The tribute was a slim, amateurish book with the tongue-in-cheek title Sherwood Anderson and Other Famous Creoles: A Gallery of Contemporary New Orleans (1926). Only two of the people in its forty-three portraits, biographical and sketched, were Creoles, and none (save Anderson) were particularly famous--at least not yet. William Faulkner, one of the pranksters, would achieve Nobel Prize celebrity. The other cutup was William Spratling, Faulkner's roommate in a French Quarter...
