University of Hawai'i Press Beyond Ethnicity
Book SynopsisWritten by scholars of various disciplines, the essays in this volume dig beneath the veneer of Hawaii's myth as a melting pot paradise to uncover historical and complicated cross-racial dynamics. Race is not the primary paradigm through which Hawaii is understood. Instead, ethnic difference is celebrated as a sign of multicultural globalism that designates Hawaii as the crossroads of the Pacific. Racial inequality is disruptive to the tourist image of the islands. It ruptures the image of tolerance, diversity, and happiness upon which tourism, business, and so many other vested transnational interests in the islands are based. The contributors of this interdisciplinary volume reconsider Hawaii as a model of ethnic and multiracial harmony through the lens of race in their analysis of historical events, group relations and individual experiences, and humor, among other focal points. Beyond Ethnicity examines the dynamics between race, ethnicity, and indigeneity to challenge the primacy

Liverpool University Press Pepita Jimenez A Novel by Juan Valera
Book SynopsisJuan Valera y Alcalá-Galiano (1824-1905), one of 19th-century Spain's most well known authors, had a career in the diplomatic service with postings in Europe and the Americas. A serious student of his own and foreign literatures, Valera wrote novels, short stories, essays and literary criticism.Trade ReviewThis novel will survive for many years as a delightful and beautiful piece of the literary art because it treats two of the most universal of human themes: the fanatic religious zeal of youth and the emotional and physical power of human love. I cannot imagine many who read it who will not relate to it, based on their own experiences in both areas.Table of Contents Translator’s Preface Introduction (James Whiston) Selected Bibliography Author’s Note I: Letters from My Nephew- March 22nd-June 18th II: Paralipomena III: Epilogue: Letters from My Brother Appendix A: Preface to the 1888 Edition Appendix B: Valera’s Introduction to the Appleton English Translation NOTES

Book SynopsisThe African American at the end of the nineteenth century was described by W E B Du Bois as two souls in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. In the United States today, the hyphen between these two souls-African and American, African-American-is still being negotiated. This book deals with this topic.Trade Review"Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is a unique voice of courage and conceptual ambition that addresses public life from the perspective of psychic reality, encouraging us to acknowledge the solidarity and the suffering through which we emerge as subjects of freedom." -Homi K. Bhabha "Spivak has probably done more long-term political good in pioneering feminist and postcolonial studies within global academia than almost any of her theoretical colleagues."-Terry Eagleton "Not only does her world-renowned scholarship range widely from critiques of postcolonial discourse to feminism, Marxism, and globalization, her lifelong search for fresh insights and understanding has transcended the traditional boundaries of discipline while retaining the fire for new knowledge that is the hallmark of a great intellect."-Lee Bollinger, Columbia University"

Book SynopsisA hopeful, music-infused poetry collection from Congolese poet Alain Mabanckou.Trade Review"Alain Mabanckou’s As Long as Trees Take Root in the Earth and Other Poems, translated from the French by Nancy Naomi Carlson, is the long-overdue English-language debut of one of the world’s most prominent Francophone poets. . . . Nancy Naomi Carlson’s sensitive and painstaking translations of this powerful, important writer are a boon to anyone interested in the world of Francophone letters." * The Los Angeles Review *"Alain Mabanckou a native of the Congo and a longtime professor at UCLA, is one of the world’s leading francophone authors. If you’re the author of a novel (Verre cassée/Broken Glass) that The Guardian has called one of the best one hundred novels of the century, it may be difficult to be taken as seriously as a poet. And yet Mabanckou has also been publishing books of poems since 1993 . The present edition includes two of his most recent volumes, the first and only translation of any complete poetry books to be published in English. I, for one, am grateful, and I imagine others will be also." * World Literature Today *Table of Contents1. As Long as Trees Take Root in the Earth 2.
