Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Transforming World Politics
Book SynopsisThis book provides a critical understanding of contemporary world politics by arguing that the neoliberal approach to international relations seduces many of us into investing our lives in projects of power and alienation. These projects offer few options for emancipation; consequently, many feel they have little choice but to retaliate against violence with more violence. The authors of this pioneering work articulate worldism as an alternative approach to world politics. It intertwines non-Western and Western traditions by drawing on Marxist, postcolonial, feminist and critical security approaches with Greek and Chinese theories of politics, broadly defined. The authors contend that contemporary world politics cannot be understood outside the legacies of these multiple worlds, including axes of power configured by gender, race, class, and nationality, which are themselves linked to earlier histories of colonizations and their contemporary formations. With fictiTrade ReviewThis is a worldly and sophisticated antidote to so much that is sterile and narrow in today's International Relations. The authors have provided us with a literate and learned statement on how to view a complex world. It is an important early contribution to what should become the mainstream of International Relations. Stephen Chan, Professor of International Relations, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, UKIn challenging historical erasures that have been carried through violence as desire and the desire for violence, as well as the framing of discourses and the incarceration of labour in property relations, Transforming World Politics makes us think about our diminished way of life under the neoliberal imperium. The authors make the bold claim that we need to interrogate and challenge not only the 'other' but ourselves, thus creating new possibilities of moving forward together. Shirin M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Imperial Leather
Book SynopsisImperial Leather chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling. Spanning the century between Victorian Britain and the current struggle for power in South Africa, the book takes up the complex relationships between race and sexuality, fetishism and money, gender and violence, domesticity and the imperial market, and the gendering of nationalism within the zones of imperial and anti-imperial power.Trade Review"The author and Routledge are to be congratulated on a big, beautiful book that many students of the history of sexuality will find alluring." -- Journal of the Historyof Sexuality"Imperial Leather is what an academic book ought to be: intelligent, informed, socially committed, engaged, and engaging." -- Women's Review of Books"Imperial Leather is a wonderful book." -- Women's Reviewof Books"McClintock's magisterial study...is a daring articulation of the race-class-gender triad." -- Choice"Anne McClintock's Imperial Leather takes a prominent place among a number of recent works...that question the relegation of the imperial enterprise to the back benches of the Victorian sensibility...Ms. McClintock's astute reading of novels, diaries, and advertisements, among other sources, demonstrates how images of domestic life can be incorporated into an ideology of imperial domination." -- The New York Times Book Review"Imperial Leather is a very passionately written book, and the reader cannot help but be involved in the various texts that McClintock freely uses. Nothing escapes her hard, penetrating gaze...The work is thoughtful and well researched. I highly recomend it." -- Journal ofCarribean Studies"This is a big book, in every sense of the word: big format, big ideas, big aim." -- The Canadian HistoricalReview"Lucidly written, wide-ranging in its scope, supple and rigorous in its analysis, and impressive in its consistent theorization of gender in relation to other axes of power, Imperial Leather is a major contribution to materialist feminist scholarship." -- Signs"Engaging and frequently brilliant." -- Victorian StudiesTable of ContentsI.

Taylor & Francis Gombrowicz
Book SynopsisThis book is a short introduction to Witold Gombrowicz's life and work as one of the most prominent figures in twentieth-century literature and theater, providing intertextual perspectives that allow readers to analyze his short stories, plays, and novels in broad contexts.Gombrowicz (19041969) was a writer and philosopher whose experimental literary works belong to the stream of European existentialism and simultaneously mark the birth of postmodernism. In Gombrowicz's grotesque universe, there is no separation between literature, biography, sexuality, and philosophy. His novels, including Ferdydurke, Trans-Atlantyk, and Pornography, contain autobiographical elements, whereas in his renowned Diary, daily life becomes an object of sophisticated philosophical reflection that links introspection with humor and a gift for observation.Gombrowicz: An Introduction is an approachable guide for students and instructors of Slavic literature a

Taylor & Francis Ltd Alterity and Empathy in Post1945 Asian American
Book SynopsisThis book examines how Asian American authors since 1945 have deployed the stereotype of Asian American inscrutability in order to re-examine and debunk the stereotype in various ways.Trade Review"With Alterity and Empathy in Post-1945 Asian American Narratives, Hyesu Park adds another important contribution to the growing conversation about race and narrative form. In her work unpacking the figure of the ‘inscrutable Asian,’ Park explores the various ways that rhetorical and cognitive approaches to narrative can help readers to better understand the cultural work of contemporary Asian American narratives, while also compellingly demonstrating the continued need to broaden the canon of narratives upon which new developments in narrative theory are built."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Early Modern Others
Book SynopsisEarly Modern Others highlights instances of challenges to misogyny, racism, atheism, and antisemitism in the early modern period. Through deeply historicizing early modern literature and looking at its political and social contexts, Peter C. Herman explores how early modern authors challenged the biases and prejudices of their age.By examining the works of Thomas More, William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, John Fletcher, and Philip Massinger amongst others, Herman reveals that for every -ism in early modern English culture there was an anti-ism pushing back against it. The book investigates others in early modern literature through indigenous communities, women, religion, people of color, and class.This innovative book shows that the early modern period was as complicated and as contradictory as the world today. It will offer valuable insight for anyone studying early modern literature and culture, as well as social justice and intersectionality.Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionChapter 1: Thomas More’s Utopia and the "New World"Chapter 2: "I am no child, no babe": The Shrew PlaysChapter 3: "That’s More than We Know": The Crisis of the 1590s in Deloney, Dekker, and ShakespeareChapter 4: The Circulation of Atheism in Early Modern England: Tamburlaine, Selimus, and King Lear Chapter 5: The Religious "Other" in Early Modern England: The Jew of Malta, The Merchant of Venice, and The RenegadoChapter 6: Othello and London’s Africans Works CitedIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Power of NeoSlave Fiction and Public History
Book SynopsisProfessional historians, schools, colleges and universities are not alone in shaping higher-order understanding of history. The central thesis of this book is the belief historical fiction in text and film shape attitudes towards an understanding of history as it moves the focus from slavery to the enslavedfrom the institution to the personal, families and feminist accounts.In a broader sense, this contributes to a public history. In part, using the quickly growing corpus of neo-slave counterfactual narratives, this book examines the notion of the emerging slavery public history, and the extent to which this is defined by literature, film and other forms of artistic expression, rather than non-fictionpopular or scholarlyand education in history in the school systems. Inter alia, this book looks to the validity of historical fiction in print or in film as a way of understanding history. A focal point of this book is the hypothesis that neo-slave narrativessupported by selectivTrade Review"The human stories authentically leap from the pages eloquently in Grant Rodwell’s latest book.
