Arabian Plights
The Future Middle East
Peter Rodgers
Examining the Arab footprint throughout
threads of a shared language, a mostly
shared religion, and overlapping historical
experience, this discussion of cause and
effect—huge population growth, demand
for food, water, education, and jobs, in
addition to issues of global warming and
national and regional security—is the chal-
lenge as Arabs prepare to meet the intense
pressures of the 21st century. Arguing that
the most direct way of cleaning up the
mess in today’s Middle East is to remove
the Israeli–Palestinian conflict as the prop
both for Arab illiberalism and for foreign
meddling, this exposé suggests that per-
haps the real problem of the Arab world is
that it too closely mirrors the hypocrisies
already present in the world.
Peter Rodgers is a former Australian
ambassador to Israel, a regular commenta-
tor on Middle Eastern affairs, and the win-
ner of the Graham Perkin Australian
Journalist of the Year Award for his report-
ing on East Timor. He is the author of
Herzl’s Nightmare.

Saving Afghanistan
Edited by V. Krishnappa
and Priyanka Singh
Addressing recent developments in
Afghanistan as well as providing expert
analysis into the country’s future, this com-
pendium offers multiple perspectives on
issues such as counterinsurgency, stabiliza-
tion, and nation-building in Afghanistan.
The essays focus on one key question—
What can be done to stabilize Afghani-
stan?—and attempt to address it through
redefining the character of the conflict
there as well as the role of regional actors,
the U.S. and its allies, international non-
governmental organizations, and the inter-
national community at large. Essays
include “Reconstructing Afghanistan,”
“Pakistani Attitudes Toward Militancy in
and Beyond Pakistan,” and “Post-Taliban
Afghanistan: Conflict, Violence, and
Regional Stability.”
V. Krishnappa is a research fellow at the
Institute for Defense Studies and Analysis
(IDSA). He is a member of editorial com-
mittee for the Journal of Defense Studies
and the book review editor for the Strategic
Analysis. Priyanka Singh is a research assis-
tant at the IDSA.

“A marvelous analysis of the problems and
possibilities in key world issues arising
from the present and prospective interplay
of India, China, and the United States. It is

bilateral relations of the three countries—
including their troubled past and uncer-
tain present—in order to unravel clues for
the possible future course. Accessible and
detailed, this useful analysis provides an
informed look at one of the most crucial,
developing relationships on the emerging
international political landscape of the

Second edition
Fred Harrison
“Those warnings were . . . well thought
out and calculated.”
—Marc Coleman, Irish Independent
• Author’s previous books sold more than
20,000 copies
Using the United Kingdom as a case
study, this well-researched account
shows how, for more than 200 years, a
remarkably regular 18-year cycle of
boom and bust can be traced to the
peaks and troughs in land prices. This
exploration reveals how governments,
during the upswing of the cycle, are com-
plicit in encouraging a belief that proper-
ty prices will continue upwards indefi-
nitely because of their skilled manage-
ment of the economy and attributes the
current crises to public policy on both
sides of the Atlantic. An alternative plan
to neutralize the next boom—one that
would lead to a more stable and environ-
mentally friendly economy with a more
equitable distribution of wealth—is
also presented.

Sonallah Ibrahim
• Co-op available
A coming-of-age story is given a creative
twist in this intimate, offbeat, and strange-
ly affecting novel. The young narrator, age
11, lives with his aged father in a dishev-
eled furnished flat in Cairo. Exceptionally
attuned to the moods, habits, and silent
yearnings of the adults around him, the
boy decides to get organized and become
an expert on adult behavior. Surrep-
titiously, he listens in on adult conver-
sations, observes adult mannerisms, and
guesses about comments he’s not sup-
posed to understand—and then he starts
to sneak into neighboring apartments
to watch adults napping, copulating,
bathing, cooking, and all the other activi-
ties normal to their lives.
Sonallah Ibrahim is an Egyptian journalist,
the author of eight novels, and a former
visiting associate professor in the depart-
ment of Near Eastern studies at the
University of California–Berkeley. In 2003
he was awarded a prestigious prize by the
Arab Novelist Assembly, which he turned
down in protest of government policies.

The New Uncanny
Tales of Unease
Edited by Sarah Eyre and Ra Page
“Delightful and disturbing.”
—Independent on Sunday
“A bold idea.” —Guardian
Performing a deft metaphorical eviscera-
tion of Sigmund Freud’s classic 1919 essay
that delved deeply into the tradition of hor-
ror writing, this freshly contemporary col-
lection of literary interpretations reintro-
duces to the world Freud’s compelling the-
ory of das unheimliche—or, the uncanny.
Specifically designed to challenge the cre-
ative boundaries of some of the most
famed and respected horror writers work-
ing today—such as A. S. Byatt, Christopher
Priest, Hanif Kureishi, Frank Cottrell
Boyce, Matthew Holness, and the indom-
itable Ramsey Campbell—this anatomical-
ly precise experiment encapsulates what
the uncanny represents in the 21st century.
Masterfully narrated with the benefit of
unique perspectives on what exactly it is
that goes bump in the night, this chilling
modern collective is not only an essential
read for fans of horror but also an insight-
ful and intriguing introduction to the
greats of the genre at their gruesome best.

tor for Comma Press. Ra Page edited The

• Author’s previous books sold more than

Spanning time and continents, this unique
handbook tours the world’s most beautiful
gardens—from the gardens of ancient
Persia and the Buddhist-inspired landscapes
of China to Les Jardins du Paradis in
France and the Nooroo Gardens in Aus-
tralia. The remarkable guide is not only
visually pleasing but also truly informative,
providing descriptions and histories of the
featured gardens, as well as suggestions on
how and when to visit them. A celebration
of the ideals and aesthetics that govern the
creation of gardens in many cultures, this
book also discusses the issues involved in
the process and the maintenance necessary
to keep them blooming. Atypically organ-
ized by theme rather than place, chapters
including Writers’ Gardens reveal where
some of the world’s greatest writers found
inspiration, such as Vita Sackville-West’s
Sissinghurst in Kent, while Politician’s
Gardens profiles where leaders found sol-
ace, such as George Washington’s Mount
Vernon Estate.

available ingredients and enhances them
with the subtle use of herbs and spices to
create distinctive dishes, making this a seri-
ous contribution to the ever-growing repu-
tation of Caribbean gastronomy.

From baskets of heirloom tomatoes to
home-raised pork and wine made from
backyard grapes, this cookbook goes
inside the kitchen of an organic farm to
explore a rural lifestyle and its delicious

nary skills. Tips for organizing a pantry
are also included, and wonderful photog-
raphy provides both food shots and a tour
of the postcard-perfect farm.

Embracing the effects of South
Africa hosting the 2010 FIFA World
Cup, this study seeks to understand
the greatest potential benefit of the
2010 World Cup—a repudiation of
Afropessimism and an assertion of a
contemporary African identity both at home and on a global
stage. Penned by both academics and practitioners, this guide
provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the probable conse-
quences of the World Cup for the economy of South Africa and
its cities, from infrastructure development to the projection of
African culture and identity. Attention is given to a range of top-
ics including the management, costs, and benefits associated with
the 2010 World Cup; the uncertain economic and employment
benefits; venue selection; and investment in infrastructure, tour-
ism, and fan parks. The examination also explores the dreams
and aspirations associated with the 2010 World Cup and what it
means to talk about an African Cup, African culture, and identi-
ty. This volume is an invaluable companion to policymakers,
planners, and students as South Africa prepares to host the
world’s largest sporting event.

new photographic medium to complement his scientific expedi-

Demonstrating how he has deployed his concepts through

Lavishly illustrated, this invalu-
able study examines the scope
and depth of the work of lead-
ing contemporary Australian
artist Judy Watson. Exploring
the plight of the dispossessed,
indigenous Australians with
whom she shares a family histo-
ry and heritage, Watson’s works are divided into the seven defin-
ing elements within her artistic themes. Each section serves as an
extended picture-essay featuring commentary from the artist
about her work and travels as well as objective perspectives by
art critics. Imaginative and empathetic, Judy Watson’s work is a
remarkable example of indigenous Australian art.
Judy Watson is a recipient of several major contemporary art
awards, including the Moët & Chandon Fellowship and the
National Gallery of Victoria’s Clemenger Award. In 2006, two of
her works were permanently installed within the architectural
fabric of the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. Louise Martin-Chew
is a former editor of Art and Australia magazine and a regular
contributor to the Australian and other art magazines, catalogs,
and books. She is the coauthor of The Heart of Everything: The

of War

Using charcoal and
watercolor as mediums,
this visual interpretation
of the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan represents
the television images surrounding the conflict in a more lucid
and humane way. Including images of army tanks, helicopters,
handcarts, a gunman’s stance, the aftermath of a roadside bomb,
and more, this evocative view of the war abolishes the distance
that has come to anesthetize people in their home countries. A
fresh representation of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this col-
lection of images is a compelling and moving artistic response to
21st-century conflict.

A Memoir
• New in paper; also available

While most narratives of the Great • Winner of the 2004 Australian

Depression chronicle the pain and
struggles of the common folk, this
account takes a drastically different
approach—telling stories of health
and happiness in the 1930s. In
Australia, as in most of the world, the Great Depression obliter-
ated jobs, bank balances, and, by all accounts, optimism. When
Potts interviewed Australians who remembered the period, how-
ever, he found that many spoke with surprising affection, recall-
ing that it seemed “people were happier then.” In this lively
social history, the author displays a unique perspective not only
on the Great Depression but also on what brings happiness.
Archives, official statistics, and the firsthand accounts of more
than 1,200 survivors prove that, despite the reality of the strug-
gle, there are compelling tales of resilience and happiness even
among those who were lost, poor, and unemployed.
David Potts has taught at the University of Melbourne and La
Trobe University and is the author of In and Out of Work:
Personal Accounts of the 1930s and The Twenties: 1919–1929.
National Biography Award
A bittersweet tale of personal reminis-
cence, this life story follows a young
boy who, after growing up in Victoria,
travels across the Middle East and
parts of South Asia. Disembarking in a
green suit and carrying a suitcase full of books and a typewriter,
the boy leaves with no money, no return ticket and, seemingly,
no worries. What follows is an account of youth that is tender
and funny as it unfolds around an innocent abroad. An unforget-
table memoir, this telling captures the vulnerability and ardor of
youth, and the fragility and strength of parental love.
Robert Hillman is the author of The Deepest Part of the Lake,
The Hour of Disguise, A Life of Days, and Writing Sparrow Hill.

nificantly to the development of
poetry in Texas, and he is not slow-

“Meticulously researched and footnoted, [Texan Jazz] is not only
a definitive history of Texas jazz but a fine overview of the style
as a whole.” —Dan Bogey, Library Journal
“Dave Oliphant is the undisputed authority on the history of
Texas jazz. His books and articles provide the most well-
researched and well-written discussions of Texas jazz history
available.” —Gary Hartman, Center for Texas Music History
• Advertising in the Texas Observer (September)
• Author tour to include Austin, College Station, Dallas, Houston,

The first major autobiography by a Texas poet, this noteworthy
account traces the life and times of a poet, publisher, critic, and
teacher from his childhood to the present day. This remarkable
life is examined through the works it produced—25 books in the
fields of poetry, fiction, translation, jazz history, and book
reviewing. Proving that the literary and intellectual life in Texas
far surpasses the state’s stereotypes, this record shows how the
poet was instrumental in connecting Texas with many Latin
American writers as well as with a wide world of music.
Dave Oliphant is a native Texan poet, a recently retired professor
from the University of Texas–Austin, and the editor and publisher
of Prickly Pear Press. He is the author of numerous volumes of
poetry, including Backtracking, Memories of Texas Towns and

A Memoir
Andrew McNeillie
Conducting a journey from boyhood
to manhood, this is the revealing auto-
biography of poet Andrew McNeillie.
From an airplane crossing north
Wales, the middle-aged writer looks
down on the countryside of his child-
hood in this fascinating memoir, recall-
ing an almost fabulous world now lost
to him. From an ordinary daily life
and education in Llandudno, this account follows the subject
through some of the wilder parts of Snowdonia, depicting
McNeillie’s experiences in nature during a period of increasing
urbanization. Continually crossing the border between town and
country, this recollection communicates an almost Lawrentian
aspect to the author’s intense relationship with the natural world
as well as the place of man within it. Acute and powerful, this
exploration also delves into McNeillie’s relationship with his
father, his discovery of literature and the development of his own
poetic sensibility, and his growing awareness of the opposite sex.
Triangulated between three locations, this engaging story visits
the poet’s birthplace, a Snowdonian lake, and the subject’s home
in his teenage years.
Andrew McNeillie is the literature editor at Oxford University
Press and the author of An Aran Keening, Nevermore, and Slower.

The Household Guide to Dying
“A wise, sorrowful, and graceful work.

ness and decline within the precious
complexity of family relations, reminding us that some forms of
writing are also forms of love.” —Gail Jones, author, Sixty Lights
• Author’s previous books sold more than 20,000 copies
Intimately exploring the complex dynamics of a complicated
mother-daughter relationship, this sharp and honest memoir tells
the story of a woman who is forced to begin asking some of life’s
difficult questions—such as to what extent are people’s lives
determined by their genetic heritage?—when her mother is diag-
nosed with a serious brain tumor that must be operated on
immediately. While biding the dreadful passage of time in the
hospital waiting room, Gabrielle Carey begins to realize how
much her mother has left untold, how many questions she still
wants to ask her, and how little time there is left for the answers.
Amid organizing appointments, looking after her own children,
and battling her mother’s stubbornly principled idea that she
should be left to die, Gabrielle begins to voice the unasked,
attempting to discover the mother she has lived with all her life
but never truly known and ultimately uncovering just how much
her family stands to gain when they let each other in.
Gabrielle Carey teaches writing at the University of Technology in
Sydney. She is the author of The Borrowed Girl, In My Father’s

Spanning the impressive careers of five notable New Zealand
women, this uncommon examination portrays the lives of
Merimeri Penfold, Margaret Mahy, Anne Salmond, Gaylene
Preston, and Jacqueline Fahey. Having each carved out their
own distinguished reputations as artists, writers, teachers, film-
makers, and thinkers, this investigation demonstrates how each
of them has balanced a professional life with a personal one. In
five in-depth interviews, this record explores their families, edu-
cation, the impact intimate relationships have on their creativity,
and how each juggles life’s demands. Reflecting on immense
changes in society throughout their lifetimes, this biographical
account illustrates the second half of the 20th century, capturing
how it directly affected the women’s professional and personal
lives. Touching on major events and challenges, this study also
depicts the Land March in 1975, the rise of feminism, and the
genesis of Indigenous rights movements. With five stunning new
photographic portraits by renowned photographer Marti
Friedlander, this is a striking example of how those who grap-
pled with sexism, glass ceilings, and domestic expectation still
found the balance to lead fruitful public lives in the arts
and academia.

Trojan Women
Gwendolyn MacEwen
“It’s significant that MacEwen would
choose to translate The Trojan Women
and Helen texts, for after all, they are
filled with the plaint of women, their
powerlessness, their victimization, and
a sense of isolation . . . The vocabulary
of these translations is so much
MacEwen’s own that they seem almost
to have been written by her. These
translations are deeply felt.”

With a stunning command of the Greek language and a mastery
of poetic nuance, this translation of Euripides’ play breathes
unparalleled life into an ancient masterpiece. Using vocabulary
that gives the sense that the play was written with an apprecia-
tion of and application to the 20th and 21st centuries, this adap-
tation goes beyond the timeless plot of the consequences of war
and the fate of both the victors and the losers and focuses on
the modern-day issues of feminism and women’s rights. Also
included in this volume are two long poems—“Helen” and
“Orestes”—by contemporary Greek poet Yannis Ritsos, who
was nominated for the Nobel Prize.
Gwendolyn MacEwen was a well-known writer of poetry, drama,
and fiction. Among her publications are Breakfast for the

Taking a closer look at the industri-

claims that Canada is in the midst of
an economic crisis of global propor-
tions—and that Nobel Prize–winning economists failed to see it
coming. This accessible survey tackles the roots of this monetary
disaster with a collection of in-depth essays, showing how the
global capitalist economy—dependent on hyper-extended credit,
fueled by systematic deregulation, and rooted in the contradic-
tions of a mad drive for unlimited profitability—must inevitably
end up in such a predicament. From recession to depression and
market adjustment to billion-dollar stimulus plans, this reference
also proves that there are ways out of this economic conundrum
that do not involve saving those responsible.

Poverty, As Seen
Through the Eyes

T. Olivier, L. Wood,
and N. de Lange
Using the “photovoice”
technique—a method
that asks subjects to pho-
tograph what they feel represents their world—this enlightening
visual research reveals the everyday realities of poverty through
the eyes of those most affected by it. Intended for teachers, psy-
chologists, anthropologists, and social and community workers,
this unique resource offers insight into how communities are
able to cope with the challenges of poverty and the impact of
HIV and AIDS. Emphasizing the power and vital presence of
hope, the photographs show how the pupils rise above their cir-
cumstances against the odds.
T. Olivier is a professor in the faculty of education and the
research technology and innovation unit at the Nelson Mandela
Metropolitan University. L. Wood teaches and researches at the
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. She focuses on devel-
oping programs and materials to equip teachers and schools to
deal with the challenges presented by HIV and AIDS in the class-
room. N. de Lange is an associate professor in educational psy-
chology in the faculty of education at the University of
KwaZulu-Natal. Her research focuses on social inclusion of ado-
lescents, addressing diverse issues such as Tourette’s syndrome,

Challenges for Teacher Education
Curriculum in South Africa (9780796922380), and The RPL
Conundrum (9780796922205)
Broadly concerned with grade-12 students’ aspirations for the
future, this monograph hones in on those seeking to study edu-
cation and enter the teaching profession. The National Policy
Framework for Teacher Education and Development in South
Africa identifies this as a crucial area for further research—a
need that this study addresses in detail. Investigating the
responses of more than 20,000 grade-12 students, this survey
reaches across a range of institutions in all nine provinces, ana-
lyzing student ambitions and the factors that influenced them.
Comparing the findings with those of a similar survey conducted
in 2001, this report confirms a desire for further learning against
a backdrop of predominantly poor academic performance and
low socioeconomic status. Demonstrating how the academic
field remains highly unattractive in comparison with other occu-
pations, this reference highlights the major challenge inherent in
developing a strong supply of well-qualified instructors for
South African schools. Appendices featuring the learning aspira-
tion questionnaire as well as the actual interview schedules are
also included.

A bleak portrayal of life on the

poetic novel turns an unwavering eye
to life in the Jamaican ghetto. By inter-
weaving the stories of Dinah, a prosti-
tute who can never quite escape the
circumstances of her life, and Brother Solomon, a respected
Rastafarian leader who allows his followers to think that a ship
is on its way to take them home to Ethiopia, this brutally poetic
story creates intense and tragic characters who struggle to come
to grips with the absurdity of life. As these downtrodden protag-
onists shed their illusions and expectations, they realize that
there is no escape from meaninglessness, and eventually gain a
special kind of dignity and stoic awareness about life.

two opposing cultural and economic
frameworks in the Caribbean—the
dichotomy between the peasant plot,
where cultivation and nature mingle,
and the estate where land is simply an
industrial resource. When Teresa
rebuilds her life on an island resembling Dominica, she rediscov-
ers lost passion by becoming involved with the new owner of an
abandoned estate, Derek. Torn between her desires and the con-
flict of values with him, the feisty Teresa eventually realizes that
Derek’s attitudes towards her body and the land are the same.

and stories of several boldly drawn
characters. Beginning with Surjue, a
man arrested and imprisoned following a botched robbery, who
struggles for survival within Jamaica’s colonial prison, this tale
bears an unflinching and distressing realism that combines poetic
spirit, tragic vision, and prophetic rage, while offering an acute
look at the reality the poor in 1950s Jamaica.

New Day Shadows Move

V. S. Reid
Told through the memories of John
Campbell, an old man whose life goes
back to the Morant Bay rebellion of
1865, this novel is an intensely vivid
narrative of the history of Jamaican
nationalism. In the present, John
Campbell’s grandnephew Garth listens
eagerly to the old man’s story, gather-
ing information and advice for his
generation’s nationalist movement.
First published in 1949, this novel is a
pioneering work both in exploiting the rhythms of Caribbean
language and recounting the making of Jamaican national con-
sciousness from the perspective of the black majority. It explores
the conflict between a violent and peaceful means in the struggle
for social justice.
V. S. Reid was a journalist, a newspaper editor, and a politician. He
is the author of The Jamaicans and The Leopard as well as four

Among Them
Edgar Mittelholzer
Portraying the dark, authoritarian side
of the utopian dream, this classic novel
tells the story of the Reverend
Harmston, a man devoted to building a
microsociety in which there is a bal-
ance between the order that is neces-
sary to produce livelihood and the
freedom to fully explore sexuality.
Setting up a commune in the remote
Guyanese forest with the creed, “Hard work, frank love, and
wholesome play,” the reverend attempts to construct an ideal
society that opens up cross-cultural dialogue between the spirit
of European enlightenment and the culture of the native
Amerindians. Underneath its generally comic tone, however,
there are notes of a darker spirit at play that eerily foreshadow
the actual 1978 Jonestown Massacre, a violent event that
occurred 27 years after the novel's initial publication.
Edgar Mittelholzer is the author of numerous novels, including
My Bones and My Flute, and A Swarthy Boy, his autobiography.

Long Days
Maike Wetzel
Translated by Lyn Marven
Demonstrating an unflinching insight
into the internal worlds of adolescent
men and women, this collection of sto-
ries presents an array of memorable
characters. From a young woman see-
ing a dead body for the first time to a
sister watching her anorexic sibling
transform, this anthology delves
deeply into people’s lives, capturing
their fears and frustrations against a
backdrop of pressures at pivotal moments. In the background,
an over-eager teacher might be explaining “the facts of life” in
unnecessary, lurid detail, but in the foreground, students are tak-
ing secret, drastic measures. A gymnastics class may be limbering
up for an impressive display, but in reality, its diet-crazed girls
faint in alarming numbers. With pared down but insistent lan-
guage, this compendium achieves a poise and clarity, presenting
tales of humanity that are as captivating as they are conflicted.

Edited by Martin Edwards
Picking up the primary scent of any
investigation, this anthology of wicked
tales paints a chilling portrait of
modus operandi—the signature that
identifies any repeat offender. In this
collection of villainous narratives, a
coroner reveals a body’s telltale clues
to his students as he unwittingly dis-
sects his own relationship, a broken-
down driver turns his roadside routine
into a quite different type of pick-up,
and two creative-writing tutors discuss the merits of “hard-
boiled” versus “cozy” schools of crime writing while a murder-
ous student points out that it’s really procedure that counts.
From the ex-doctor tenderly administering a final prescription to
his victims to the party of finishing school debutantes exacting
revenge on their lecherous host, these stories demonstrate that,
even with the most despicable of crimes, there is always method-
ology within the madness.

City Stories from
the Middle East
Edited by Joumana Haddad
Conjuring the unpredictability of city
life in the Middle East, this compila-
tion of stories reveals the metropolis
itself through a vibrant assortment of
personalities. From the celebrated
author collecting an award in the city
that exiled him decades before to the
forlorn lover waiting at a rendezvous
as government officials raid nearby shops, this anthology shows
how urban existence is changing faster than ever. Additional
tales include engineers racing to complete another “world’s
tallest building” in Dubai, American helicopters patrolling the
Martyrs Bridge in Baghdad, and an Israeli general who invites
guests to watch promotional videos for the tank that will “win
the next war” while eating biscuits and reciting poetry, all reveal-
ing that it is not the landmarks but the people that define the
communities across this region. Opening the door to a diversity
of subtle and concealed elements, these narratives illustrate how
much is not known about this fascinating part of the world.

A Tale of Polygamy

A farce that celebrates the triumph
of six women over one philandering
man, this novel uses an age-old
African story to address the subjection
of women in modern Mozambique.
After 20 years of marriage, Rami
discovers that her husband, a senior
police officer in Maputo, has a very
big secret: he has been supporting four
other households, complete with wives and children, for many
years. Deciding not to give in to anger, Rami turns the tables and
decides to make an honest polygamist out of Tony, insisting that
he marry her love rivals according to customary law. She and the
other women quickly join forces—they even recruit a sixth
woman Tony has taken as a lover—to demand their rights, their
voices, and support for their children.
Paulina Chiziane is the first woman in Mozambique to have pub-
lished a novel and is an expert in her country’s rich oral tradition.

Featuring several authors hailing from
“cities on the edge”—European port
cities including Liverpool, Bremen,
Gdansk, Istanbul, Marseilles, and
Naples—this stirring collection of
short stories explores these landscapes
of change, from their social tensions,
scars of war, and economic decline to
their citizens’ attempts at regeneration and startling means to
thriving and surviving. In Gdansk, a German exile returns to his
childhood home. In Naples, a young woman desperate to escape
the slums becomes a Camorra mole and eventually a political
powerbroker. In Liverpool, a young Spanish soccer player arrives
to fulfill his dream of playing in the Premiership, but in the
backstreets of Anfield he meets a local resident with a very dif-
ferent perspective on the game.

Translated by Victoria Cribb
Along the lonely western shores of
Iceland, this sublime collection of short
stories blends the desires and efforts of
its numerous protagonists, nearly all
intent on leaving their normal lives to
pursue their dreams more seriously. A
Boston ornithologist speeds through
the landscape in a four-by-four chasing
Arctic Terns; a schoolboy is relocated
to the town of Siglufjördur to compete
in a chess tournament; and a husband
packs his wife off to visit her aunt in
Sweden. The characters encounter strange company: ghostly pres-
ences in the early hours, enviable neighbors, and fellow writers
with remarkably similar ambitions. Plotting a constellation of
glittering images, this magnificent compilation intersects the paths
of its characters, who are at once isolated in their individual pur-
suits yet connected in the vast realm of dreams.

A family’s destiny is intimately tied to
the rise and fall of Saddam Hussein in
this novel, the first about the U.S. war
to be written by an Iraqi. The story
follows four generations of the Bird
family, who live on the banks of the
Thirsty River in southern Iraq. The
birth of each of the Bird children coin-
cides with regime change in Baghdad,
but the family is safely removed from the seat of power until the
day Saddam Hussein’s officials seize a plot of land where their
sheep graze. Protest causes all the adult men in the family to dis-
appear, and the matriarch of the family, Simahen, spends her
days outside the Party office in the hope of finding her husband
and sons. The grandchildren are also eventually drawn into peril
by events both humorous and horrifying: Joesr is employed to
paint murals of Saddam, a job in which one errant brush stroke
could lead to death; meanwhile, young Djazil is unaccounted for
until he is recognized by his family in one of the infamous pho-
tos from Abu Ghraib.

Megan Voysey-Braig
Giving voice to the countless female
victims of crime and homicide in
South Africa, this disturbingly frank
yet sensitively rendered tale is the
harrowing account of a middle-aged
woman who is attacked, raped, and
murdered in her home by armed
intruders. Drawing overdue attention
to South Africa’s overwhelming histo-
ry of violence against women, this revealing story is a beautiful,
jarringly unfiltered account of an unimaginably cruel reality.
Narrated with a cultural authenticity that is quintessentially
South African and infused with an air of impossible hope and
optimism, this literary journey delivers compelling insight that
illuminates both the light and dark elements of human nature.

“There is more than enough here to
declare Humphreys an author of great
humanity: wise in the ways of men and
women; strong and subtle in the
expression of them.”
—Guardian, on The Shop
Gentle but haunting, this selection of
short stories takes a closer look at the
importance of parental and filial love
down the generations. The protagonists reminisce over the pat-
tern of their lives, looking back as well as forward, for the
chance to rekindle lost loves and find a home for themselves.
Throughout these eclectic tales, three comfortably retired men
find their sedate dinner transformed into a conflict with a knife-
wielding escaped prisoner in a pre-Celtic tomb, a trip to the site
of their first meeting brings a married couple face to face with a
corpse, and illusions are shattered when a retired teacher
reunites with his first love. Examining the threads of survivors’
lives from childhood to old age, this anthology utilizes the back-
drop of a shifting postwar Europe and Wales. Weighing the best
part of a century of European history, this is a complex study of
mature reflection, loss, and survival.
Emyr Humphreys is a novelist, a poet, and a dramatist. He is a

Shaping Sexualities

Edited by Melissa Steyn

“An energetic, nuanced, and reward-
ing exploration of heteronormativi-
ties, both old and new, in South
Africa.” —Carole S. Vance, PhD,
professor of sociomedical sciences,
Columbia University
“The authors within this collection span diverse disciplines and
activist locations, and between them choreograph exciting debates
about what it means to imagine, desire, and inhabit sexualities in
the South African landscape of the 21st century. The editors are
to be congratulated on the mesh of insight, imagination, and
scholarship they offer—the price is worth the prize. No question.”
—Jane Bennett, associate professor,
African Gender Institute, University of Cape Town
Engaging and provocative, the collection gathers leading and
emerging scholars to disentangle the strands of particular sexual
identities and deepen understanding of the multiple workings of
heteronormativity in South African society in particular and sex-
uality in general. Through analyzing where and how heteronor-
mativity intersects with other axes of power and social identity,
contributors to this collection reveal that it is not monolithic,
and heterosexuality as the South African norm is effectively
omitted from heteronormativity. Examining the historical conti-
nuities and interruptions of heteronormativity in South African
society, each chapter extends beyond the well-researched areas
of sexuality—same sexualities, HIV/AIDS, and gender-based
violence—to less-discussed areas such as childhood sexuality
and disability.

In the Wake On the

Science in the South-
ern Oceans from the
Age of Darwin
Edited by
Iain McCalman
and Nigel Erskine
New insights—some per-
taining to global warm-
ing—are revealed in this study of Charles Darwin’s travels in
Australia and the South Pacific. Though Darwin spent only three
months there, this investigation makes it clear that he plunged
eagerly into the 19th-century world of collecting, surveying, and
cross-cultural exchange in the antipodes. Focusing on the ground-
breaking work of Darwin and his contemporaries—including
Hooker, Huxley, and Wallace—this discourse describes their inter-
est in the southern hemisphere’s complex trading relationships,
innovations in navigation, and suitability for scientific research on
oceans and climate change.
Iain McCalman is a fellow in the department of history at the
University of Sydney. Nigel Erskine is an archaeologist and a cura-
tor of exploration at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Kate Darian-Smith
An evocative study of Melbourne dur-
ing World War II, this newly revised
account illustrates life in an
Australian city during wartime, draw-
ing upon the memories of the men
and women who lived through these turbulent years.
Investigating the work, leisure, relationships, and fears of the
families left behind, this record also covers topics such as
Australian nationalism and identity, the challenged traditional
roles of mothers and wives, and the issues of drunkenness, gam-
bling, and sexuality on the home front. In effect, society’s
responses to the tensions between increased government interfer-
ence and new opportunities for social and sexual freedoms are
thoroughly captured in this compelling narrative.

Translating Rome
Translated by Robert Graves
Introduction by Robert Cummings
Featuring translations of three classi-
cal Roman works—Apuleius’s The
Golden Ass, Lucan’s Pharsalia, and
Suetonius’s The Twelve Ceasars—this
collection is vital to the understanding
of Roman culture and history. The
Golden Ass tells the story of a young
man who, through his own stupidity,
is turned into a donkey, thus begin-
ning his rollicking quest to regain his
human form through worship of the gods Isis and Osiris.
Pharsalia is an epic poem that chronicles the conflict between
Julius Caesar and the senator Pompey in northern Greece
around 48 BC. The Twelve Ceasars is a biography of the Roman
rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian, a vivid and racy account
of the sex, politics, and violence that constituted their experi-
ences as Rome’s most powerful men. Rife with the delights and
excesses of Roman culture, these three works are a portal into
the world of one of history’s largest empires.
Robert Cummings is an editor.

LITERARY CRITICISM
Caribbean Poetics
Toward an Aesthetic
of West Indian Literature
Second edition
Silvio Torres-Saillant
“Discussions of Caribbean literary
aesthetics have tended to focus on the
writing of one of the main linguistic
blocs of the region, and Silvio Torres-
Saillant’s study is a welcome addition
to work that considers commonalities
across these blocs.“ —John Thieme,
World Literature Today
• Advertising in Caribbean Review of Books (Spring)
• New in paper; also available in cloth (9780521551250)
Studying the literature written in the West Indies as a regionally
unified corpus with its own identity, this analysis examines the
recurring thematic motifs and formal devices that Caribbean lit-
erary artists have drawn from during the last six decades. The
dynamic study isolates the writers’ engagements with language,
religion, and history as primary components of their cultural dis-
course and argues that West Indian literary texts contain clues to
their own explication. Including authors from the Dominican
Republic, Barbados, and Haiti, this volume is one of the few that
explores the writing of all Caribbean language regions. Revised
to include updated criticism of three featured poets—Kamau
Brathwaite, Pedro Mir, and Rene Depestre—this insightful and
profound discussion presents a truly multicultural approach
to literature.
Silvio Torres-Saillant is an associate professor and director of the
Latino-Latin American studies program at Syracuse University,
the founder of the Dominican Studies Institute in New York City,
and the senior editor of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Latinos and

Saving the

Wilderness
An Early Struggle for
Nature Conservation
Donal P. McCracken
Chartering the dire cultural and
environmental impact of poach-
ers and the export of Africa’s
incredibly diverse wildlife, this
compelling account describes
how Zululand’s rich natural heritage was rendered nearly extinct
due to generations of greed and abuse. Documenting the steady
decline of wild game—from the slaughter of 20,000 elephants so
that 1,000 tons of ivory could be shipped from Durban Bay
between 1820 and the 1880’s to the indiscriminate global export
of rhino and buck horns; hides from lions, leopards, and other
wildcats; and live wild animals—this staggering documentation
bears witness to the careless depletion of the last surviving great
African kingdom. Meticulously researched with emphasis on cel-
ebrating the heroic and eventually successful attempts to enforce
environmental-protection policies through establishing strictly
regulated game reserves, this incredible saga is a resounding
affirmation of how commitment to preservation throughout his-
tory can end and then repair the damage done by decades of
thoughtless desecration.

PHILOSOPHY

It: The Architecture of Existence series

Gary
Separated into four distinct volumes, this series explores the philosophical reasons
behind the existence of humanity. The first volume investigates the concept of relations,
revealing that unique, complex relationships come into being simultaneously and expo-
nentially through the combination of multiple elements. The second volume focuses on
intellect, probing the most obscure corners of comprehension and conducting a fasci-
nating tour of the human psyche. The third volume addresses volition, analyzing the
extent to which human judgment, decisions, and actions impact future prospects for
mankind and deflect the course of nature. The fourth and final volume delves into
affections, dispassionately highlighting the merits and shortcomings of man’s most
ethereal faculties.

From journeys through various
countries to New Zealand’s transfor-
mation in the last half century, this
is a riveting and comprehensive look
at the work of photographer Marti
Friedlander. Showing how this dis-
tinguished artist has not only
recorded the places, events, and per-
sonalities of recent history, this
engaging study also demonstrates
how she brings subjectivity, empa-
thy, and a distinctive eye to her subjects. Beginning with her
arrival in New Zealand as a Jewish immigrant from England in
1958, this biography shows how her photographs have consis-
tently drawn out the key human dynamics of conflict, ambiva-
lence, anger, and warmth. Beautifully illustrated, this monograph
reveals how a sustained, inquiring, and attentive perspective for
both the photographer and viewers can lead to new truths.

University of Auckland and the author of Colonial Constructs.

be turned into words, this intriguing

Characterized by a beautifully real-
ized reciprocity between outer land-
scape and the characters’ inner
worlds, this remarkable sequence of
lyric poetry explores the blossoming of an innately complicated
relationship between a retired fisherman named Monty Cupidon
and a naked, bloodied, and traumatized woman he encounters
who cannot remember who she is or where she came from. The
only clues to her former identity are the signs that she once wore
a wedding ring, has a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder, and wears
red nail polish on her toes. Woven with the narrative elements of
mystery and suspense, the poems examine the relationship—from
its innocent beginning through the decay of time and into the
eventual corruptions of knowledge.

New Selected Poems
Marina Tsvetaeva
Translated by Elaine Feinstein
Intensely emotional and honest, this
collection of searing poems about love,
loss, jealousy, and fear, explores the lit-
erary and social landscape of post revo-
lutionary Russia. Sharply addressing
the conflicts between the life of a poet
and that of a mother and wife, this
enlarged volume, masterfully translat-
ed, includes five major poem sequences,
one of which was written in 1915 for the poet’s lover Sofia
Parnok and another in response to poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s
death. Invoking Stalinist Russia as an underlying theme, this
compilation also covers politics and history.
Marina Tsvetaeva is considered one of Russia’s most important
postrevolutionary poets. She is the author of The Demesne of the
Swans, Evening Album, and The Rat-Catcher. Elaine Feinstein is
the author of many novels, radio plays, television dramas, and
five biographies, including Anna of all the Russias, A Captive
Lion: The Life of Marina Tsvetaeva, and Pushkin. She was also a
Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the recipient of a
Cholmondeley Award for Poetry.

Developing and expanding the explorations of previous works,
this mature collection invokes shepherds and farm laborers,
lakes and swimmers, and the changes of the seasons amid a play
of light and shade, abandon and reserve. Suffused with the scents
and colors of the Mediterranean landscape, these quietly
thoughtful poems choose subtle over obvious effects yet convey
an astounding force and beauty. Meditating upon erotic and
rural themes, these poems reveal an affirmation of the unending
power of language through short love lyrics, portrait poems,
anecdotes, satirical epigrams, and beautifully crafted narratives
of travel and memory.

“Richard Price retains an individual
voice in which intense feelings of love,
or dislocation, are packed into often
short, complex lyrics. There is a tension
in reading his poems which is created
by his care for words, by the integrity of
his distillation.”
—Carol Ann Duffy, author, Recapture
Centered on recurring themes of sleep
and sleeplessness, this delicate collec-
tion of poetry explores the nuances of
human relationships. Beginning provocatively with a “transla-
tion” of Shakespeare’s 18th sonnet, the poems offer witty, tender,
and lyrical reflections on the intricate suffusion of desire within
both private and public forms of expression. Exploring the con-
sequences of passion, this heartfelt work captures the exuber-
ance—and struggle—of human love.
Richard Price is a member of the Informationist group of poets

stirred by a single trigger, from the
word's usual associations with blood, violence, passion, and

Suit of Lights
Damian Walford Davies
Fascinated by serrations of light, paro-
dies of shadow, and all other shades in
the color spectrum, this poetry collec-
tion mixes the logical with the magical,
the brutal with the beautiful, the real
with the divine. Whether baring the
beaten flesh of a 1951 boxing match,
witnessing the luminous shirts along a
country lane, experiencing the surreal
sight of bizarre urban attire, or symbol-
izing a bat skeleton and the scales of a
dying fish, each stylistic device cloaks the human experience with
suits of light. Refusing to shy away from the disturbing and vio-
lent—such as a bagged fox, a landscape decimated by atomic
aftershock, or a sweet aria sung to the accompaniment of artillery
fire—this collection offsets every dark with a point of light. Con-
taining a number of sequences, this volume includes a response to
Francis Kilvert’s 19th-century Victorian diary, a reading of the life
of 10 contemporary paintings, the result of a Cessna flight over
Wales, and a series of letters to a master architect.

every poem. The result is intoxicating.”
—Tim Liardet, poet and critic
By responding to loss with humor and
by appreciating the world in all its
quirky variety and odd detail, this col-
lection meanders from an imaginary
village to Manhattan, from southern
California to London, from Arizona to
the Czech Republic, finally coming to
rest in the mysterious comforts of the
Illinois prairie. Rich with original observation and wry commen-
tary, these poems are lushly rendered with an unashamed wordi-
ness. Incorporating a range of cultural touch points, each piece
deftly pulls from a broad reference spectrum, including classic
literature, Raggedy Ann, the notorious hangings at Newgate
Prison, the ubiquitous Dear John letter, William Shakespeare,
Bob Dylan, and John Keats’s fiancée Fanny Brawne. Sensual and
lushly engaged to its many worlds, the assorted works collected
here evoke an altogether formal and thematic experience.
Carrie Etter is a poet and an associate lecturer at Bath Spa
University. Her poems have appeared in numerous publications,
including the New Republic and the Times Literary Supplement.

 Poetry
Time Being
Ruth Bidgood
“There is nothing in Ruth Bidgood’s
poetry that is flashy or fashionable.
But in its quiet way, it is classic: the
‘still, sad music of humanity’ comes
over clearly.” —Poetry Wales
• Advertising in Poetry Wales (December)
Inspired by the history and nature of
the poet’s region of mid-Wales, this
collection—recommended by the
Poetry Book Society—communicates
an established voice of distinction and quiet authority and sym-
bolizes a writing career that spans five decades. Reviving both
personal memories and knowledge of the stories associated with
a place, these exploratory and discursive narratives hint at a sub-
tle, conspiratorial edge. Avoiding sentimentality but not senti-
ment, these observations engender joy, sorrow, and fear
uncluttered by irony, depicting nature as not always a benign
presence but also often inescapably dark and mysterious. Largely
concerned with the fragility of the environment, this compendi-
um illustrates the vanishing countryside as well as how it affects
the world in general. Transcending the lyric and moving towards
a more epic, multifaceted form, this is a portrait equal to the
many experiences of the author’s long life.
Ruth Bidgood is a poet and a noted local historian. She is the
author of The Fluent Moment, Kindred, Ruth Bidgood: New and
Selected Poems, and Singing to Wolves.

Walking to Africa
Jessica Le Bas
Portraying a parent’s experience of
coming to terms with the new and
frightening world of mental health
care, this narrative explores the
myriad foreign ways of diagnosis
and treatment. Written from a
mother’s perspective, the poetic
sequence displays the anguish and
complexity of dealing with mental
illness, describing the events of an
ordinary family—the numerous
visits to doctors, the treatments that don’t work, and the people
who suddenly have answers and heartbreaking histories of their
own to tell. At the heart of the book lies an outstanding set of
poems about electroconvulsive therapy, leading up to a conclud-
ing revelation that mental illness may have no solutions, but
there are ways of living with it. As stark and powerful as it is
healing and illuminating, this is a groundbreaking addition to
the field of New Zealand poetry.
Jessica Le Bas tutors in the diploma of creative writing at Nelson
Marlborough Institute of Technology. She has been featured in

ANC: A View
from Moscow
Second edition
Vladimir Shubin
Dispelling many of the myths sur-
rounding the African National
Congress (ANC) and their overthrow-
ing of South Africa’s apartheid gov-
ernment in 1994, this historical
account focuses on the relationship
between the ANC and the communist
party of the Soviet Union, which
assisted this liberation movement. Told from the Soviet perspec-
tive, the information challenges many of the ideas being estab-
lished about the ANC from within South Africa, a country that
remains divided today. An enlightening account that utilizes
many primary sources never used before, this is a valuable con-
tribution to the tiny but growing historiography of the ANC and
the South African liberation movement.
Vladimir Shubin was a high-level Soviet official who was involved
for many years in aiding in the struggle against apartheid.

Blowback
A Canadian History of Agent
Orange and the War at Home
Chris Arsenault
Chronicling the horrific story of the
Agent Orange experiments near
Oromocto, New Brunswick, this shock-
ing history reveals the tragic accounts
of numerous families who lost loved
ones due to military testing. Depicting
the initial spraying of the deadly defo-
liant near Gagetown, this document
portrays how the United States mili-
tary, searching for a terrain similar to Vietnam, began conduct-
ing tests in this area. Although the Americans discontinued their
trials in the late 1960s, this record uncovers more than an addi-
tional decade’s worth of continued use by Canadian forces, who
discovered it was cheaper to clear brush and kill trees with a
dangerous chemical than to hire workers to perform the task. As
this astonishing study demonstrates, what they did not know at
the time was that Agent Orange also killed people. This stunning
recollection investigates the stories of those who didn’t survive as
well as their relatives’ daunting struggles.

exclusively dealing with global public goods and externalities. A

are the processes of globalization, economic interdependence,
and diffusion of technologies shaping the Asian strategic con-
text? What does the “Rise of Asia” mean for global peace? What
are the common threats and challenges? and What are the
prospects of fostering cooperative state behavior in confronting

Reflecting on the Labor government

parties in regards to the parliamentary system. Commenting on
how its leaders have always made devotion to this system their
point of reference, this political overview proves that this has
always been the conditioning factor of their political behavior.

Presenting a sustained and concrete
challenge to the current political con-

as the key issue facing civilization and
the crucial condition of making sub-

capitalist control of the state was so
comprehensive that partial reforms
were impossible, this reference attempts to explain how society
has managed to evade socialism, exploring how its claims have
failed to persuade many intellectuals and the potential benefac-
tors of an alternative order. Reviewing the influence of economic
elites and the dominant class, this study also probes the state’s
claims to legitimacy, defines the purpose and role of govern-
ments, and analyzes the concepts of reform and repression.

Patrick Hannan
Providing a punchy commentary on
how the mere question of devolution
influences all areas of political debate,
this perceptive yet entertaining study
focuses on the changing makeup of
British culture. Analyzing the effects of
devolution on Labor’s ability to govern
the country as a whole, this detailed
survey also reviews the politicians’ love of invoking “Britishness;”
the role of newspapers, the broadcast media, and nationalist
political parties in dictating what it means to be a citizen; the
place of the royal family and class in the 20th century; and those
financially responsible for the various parts of the country.
Theorizing as to what principles should underlie the democratic
running of Britain and its constituent parts, this political exami-
nation applies a dry sense of humor in recognizing some of the
absurdities thrown around during the course of the discussion.

Originally written as a manual of spiritual instruction, this crucial
work of medieval Islamic thought examines Sufi and mystical
influences within the Muslim tradition to provide insight into the
intellectual and religious history of the Muslim world. Written by
one of the most famous theologian-mystics of all time, it is an in-
depth discussion of two essential virtues of the religious and spiri-
tual life: patience and thankfulness. Compelling and insightful,
this exploration defines these virtues and examines their place in
the Islamic worldview, with particular attention paid to their
attainment and the influences that divert people from these
virtues. This first-ever academic translation includes an introduc-
tion to the structure and development of al-Ghazali’s thought, as
well as a biography, appendix, and index.
Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali is regarded as one of the
most influential thinkers of medieval Islam. A theologian, logi-

the Sufi and mystical traditions. H. T. Littlejohn is a retired pas-
tor and lecturer who has devoted many years of study to both
Christian and Muslim theology. He lives in Seattle.

Thomas Traherne
Introduction by Julia Smith
Written in the context of the unstable
political and ecclesiastical situation
after Charles II’s Restoration in 1660,
this autobiographical and historical
work of the well-loved mystic and
poet, Thomas Traherne, explores the
vocation of minister through self-
scrutiny and theological speculation.
Considering how to reconcile these
reflections with the difficult political
choices required in tumultuous times, Traherne ponders his
“Diseas” of “too much openness and proneness” while calling
out many ministers for their ignorant zealotry, which he believed
threatened the precarious unity of the national church. Revising
the erratic punctuation but maintaining the quirky spellings, this
new edition of the truly original spiritual exploration contains a

Depicting a man who was both
denounced as an intractable rebel and
esteemed as the honored ancestor of
the Lord of the Isles, this investigation
recounts the life and times of Somer-
led. Illustrating how he is now recog-
nized as a complex figure of promi-
nence in 12th-century Scotland, this overview charts his emer-
gence in the forefront of the Gaelic-Norse aristocracy. All major
events are recounted, from his war on the Manx King of the Isles
to his extraordinary invasion of the Clyde—cut short by his death
at Renfrew in 1164. From Scottish chroniclers and Irish annalists
to Gaelic tradition bearers, this recollection brilliantly assembles
and interprets the full spectrum of historical evidence.

Answering frequently asked ques-
tions about Early Childhood
Education and Childcare (ECEC) in
Canada, this accessible investigation
seeks to establish proper standards for childcare programs,
kindergartens, and nursery schools, thereby supporting the devel-
opment of youth and accommodating parents who work or
study. Questions covered include Why doesn’t Canada have an
ECEC system, even though other countries do? What is missing
in Canada’s ECEC landscape and why? and Is ECEC primarily a
public good, a private family responsibility, or an opportunity
for profit-making? Identifying this system as a political issue, this
argument proposes that Canada requires an integrated system of
services, stating that the absence of universal public funding is
detrimental to the future of the country’s families, women, and
children. Additional topics discussed include an analysis of the
history of ECEC, politics and policies, and suggested improve-
ments for the future.

Critical Dialogue on the

Edited by Sean P. Hier,

Exploring the prospect for “post-

seeks to inform discussion and
debate about the possibility of post-
racial politics—those that are neither
oblivious to the importance of racial
classification nor the persistence of racism and injustice.
Conceptualizing this type of politics as a set of interrelated insti-
tutional and cultural changes that can neither be separated from
historical relations nor reduced to the past, this compendium col-
lectively prioritizes complexity over simplicity, progress over
retrenchment, unity over diversity, and polemics over dogmatism.

Racism in Nursing
Tania Das Gupta
Based on a recent survey of more
than 500 Ontario Nursing
Association members, this study
demonstrates how racism impacts
working relations in the nursing pro-
fession. Gender and class concepts are
explored as well as how fear, lack of
support, management collaboration,
and ineffective institutional responses make it difficult for vic-
tims to fight back. Dealing with the concept of racism within the
frameworks of human rights legislation and the political econo-
my of health care, this reference illustrates its causes in detail,
providing a foundation from which nurses and other workers
can combat racial harassment.

results of five economic clusters in

ments, this report provides an
overview of the high-tech sector, the
resource-based sector, the labor-
intensive sector, the services sector,
and public infrastructure. Drawing on the skills of scholars and
expert consultants throughout South Africa, these findings point
to highly differentiated socioeconomic conditions and divergent
prospects for future growth in each area. Demonstrating that
each sector requires customized skills-development strategies to
meet specific conditions, this reference acknowledges the widely
diverging demands on the education and training system, prov-
ing that far greater levels of alignment between skills develop-
ment and industrial policies are needed.

feels like to be a nonwhite academic in
one of the “big three” disciplines in
the humanities—English, history, and

Oxford Playhouse At the Bright Hem

High and Low Drama
in a University City
Don Chapman
• New in paper; also available
in cloth (9781902806860)
Tracing the history of the Oxford
Playhouse, this account moves from
its earliest roots and the founding of
the Oxford University Dramatic
Society to the rebuilding of Oxford’s
New Theatre and the launch of the
Playhouse itself. Recalling actress Jane Ellis’ early desire for a
venue where she might play decent roles, the book also cele-
brates a galaxy of stars who have acted there—including Maggie
Smith, Judi Dench, and Helena Bonham Carter—and records the
first steps of students such as Rowan Atkinson. In addition to
chronicling management and architecture, this tribute explores
its highbrow and lowbrow programs, its periods of prosperity
and collapse, and its unique relationship with the university.
Don Chapman is the former drama critic for the Oxford Mail, a
position he held for 35 years.

Radnorshire Pastoral
Peter J. Conradi
Based on the author’s visit in 1965,
this unique volume is written as a love
letter to the mid-Wales county of
Radnorshire. Within its autobiographi-
cal frame, this account covers the his-
tory and religious life of the area as
reflected through its local writers and
its adjacent townships, from 1176 to
the present day. Exploring this fascinating location in detail, this
investigation depicts its rural landscape as remote, wild, and
renowned for shaping the lives of its inhabitants. Selecting key
moments in its history, this examination reviews the responses of
writers as varied as Thomas Traherne, Bruce Chatwin, and Jean
Jacques Rousseau. The result is a unique portrait of the county—
what it is like to have lived there and to live there still—that cap-
tures the essence of a hidden part of Wales and Britain.
Peter J. Conradi is a biographer, a journalist, and the author of
Going Buddhist and Iris Murdoch: A Life.

Women Learning Politics
Donna M. Chovanec
Based on an empirical study of a
women’s movement in Arica, Chile,
this exploration documents how this
particular group organized to oppose
Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Presenting an analysis of social move-
ments in general as well as their rea-
sons and barriers, this overview is told
through the women’s own words and experiences, painting a
graphic picture of courage and determination. This gripping narra-
tive also focuses on the political learning and educational process-
es that emerged from this effort. Three key themes are investi-
gated, including political consciousness, social-movement praxis,
and how participation in these struggles has a life-changing effect.

cializes in adult education. She lives in Edmonton, Alberta.

Victim No More
Women’s Resistance to Law,
Culture and Power
Edited by Ellen Faulkner
and Gayle MacDonald
Challenging the notion that women
are simply victims, this in-depth dis-
cussion is a celebration of women’s re-
sistance. Exploring the moments
beyond victimization, this argument
emphasizes that women do not stay
crushed and broken but instead strive
forward to continue building and growing. The contributors
highlight the various forms of resistance—political, legal, and
cultural—stressing that women must do what is in their power to
combat being politically passive. Identifying the “women-as-vic-
tim” concept as consistent with right-wing, conservative agendas,
this reference states that women must not adhere to “men’s way”
in the workplace or at home. Displaying the diversity of action
surrounding women’s resistance, this investigation illustrates the
need for social equality and justice between genders.
Ellen Faulkner is an assistant professor of sociology at Brock Uni-
versity. She lives in St. Catherine’s, Ontario. Gayle MacDonald is a
professor of sociology at St. Thomas University and the coeditor of
Feminism, Law, Inclusion. She lives in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
