No full textIn this letter dated February 21, 1921, President-elect Warren G. Harding writes to Adolphe Danziger, a Jewish scholar, lawyer and author, to thank him for the poem he wrote honoring Harding titled "Within the Storm."
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I
Warren G. Harding letter to Nahum Daniel Brascher, January 12, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 12, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to Nahum Daniel Brascher, editor in chief of the American Negro Press, in response to his letter of January 8, 1920. Harding states he has stayed out of Chicago politics in order to avoid the tension among Governor Lowden, Mayor Thompson, and others. Harry Daugherty, Harding's campaign manager, will be in Chicago soon, and Harding suggests Brascher meet with him to discuss campaign strategy in Chicago and Illinois.
Nahum Daniel Brascher was born in Richmond, Indiana, Meredith Business College in Zanesville, Ohio, and later moved to Cleveland in the early 1900s, with a large influx of African Americans migrating north in search of a better life. While in Cleveland, Brascher co-founded both the Brascher-Ellis School and the Cleveland Journal, an African American weekly newspaper. In 1918, Brascher, his wife Helen, and their two children, moved to Chicago where he was one of the founding members of the ANP. The ANP was a news service founded in Chicago in 1919 that served approximately 150 African American newspapers across the United States, supplying news stories, opinion pieces, and essays about national and global events and issues, with special emphasis on race relations and African American interests. Brascher offers to provide Harding with free, advanced issues of its service in order to stay updated on events and issues of high importance to African Americans and their stance on political and social issues.

Food and Transformation in Ancient Mediterranean Literature

From SBL Press:
In her book, Food and Transformation in Ancient Mediterranean Literature, Meredith J. C. Warren identifies and defines a new genre in ancient texts that she terms hierophagy, a specific type of transformational eating where otherworldly things are consumed. Multiple ancient Mediterranean, Jewish, and Christian texts represent the ramifications of consuming otherworldly food, ramifications that were understood across religious boundaries. Reading ancient texts through the lens of hierophagy helps scholars and students interpret difficult passages in Joseph and Aseneth, 4 Ezra, Revelation 10, and the Persephone myths, among others.
Praise for Food and Transformation in Ancient Mediterranean Literature
This groundbreaking analysis of hierophagy in ancient literature explores the distinct literary function of eating otherworldly food, while also putting these transformative acts in their social and cultural contexts. The author moves deftly from the texts of Ovid and Apuleius to apocalyptic Jewish literature and tales of Christian martyrdom, breaking down traditional barriers in the study of ancient literature. This volume will be essential reading for scholars of antiquity and adds much to our understanding of the representation of consumption and taste in the ancient Mediterranean.

In this brilliant, ground-breaking, and theoretically informed work, Meredith Warren opens up a new area of scholarship. Her careful readings of ancient Jewish and Christian texts deftly demonstrate the importance of the transformative effects of eating both for the authors of ancient texts and for anyone thinking about food practices today.
