Reading Our Histories, Understanding Our Cultures is an innovative cultural studies reader based on the assumption that the life of every person is intimately connected to the life of the culture. By translating the best of current work in cultural studies and process approaches to writing into practical sequenced assignments, it motivates students to develop essential critical thinking, reading, and writing skills. Students are asked to engage in two complementary forms of inquiry consistently throughout the book: "historical analysis," in which they analyze change and continuity over time; and "cultural analysis," in which they explore how and why different perspectives can exist within the same time period. This kind of inquiry is meant to engage students' personal interest and, in the process, to reconceptualize what is thought of as "the personal" within larger social contexts. It enables students to move from writing just "opinion" to writing analytically and persuasively about their own perspectives and those of others.Reading Our Histories, Understanding Our Cultures teaches students to trace how a particular issue is woven into the larger cultural and social fabric, and to negotiate among different perspectives from the past and present to develop a position of their own. This kind of work is where genuine critical inquiry begins..

This is the story of the sequencing of the fly genome told by one of the participants, Michael Ashburner. Written in a diary-like form, half the story is told in the numerous footnotes. A delightful, candid, irreverent, on-the-scene tale filled with eccentric personalities all focused on a single goal. The book also contains a Prologue that puts Drosophila as a model system in historical context, and an Epilogue that discusses the impact the genome sequence had on the study of Drosophila. Also included are drawings by Lewis Miller of some of the principal characters.
