Book SynopsisExplores cycles of family trauma and both the dangerous and recuperative powers of fantasy. Alexandra Teague attempts to understand and contextualize her ‘feral Victorian’ family in terms of trauma and mental health, but also with deep love and humour.Trade Review“Is Alexandra Teague the child of psychics who can see in the world the possibility of life after death, of spells, of spirits, of foreknowledge? Or is she collateral damage of people too concerned with their own magical thinking to keep her best interests at heart? The book is at its most gripping at the knife-edge of these questions, when Teague fights to become her own self, author of her own story, able to poke tender fun at the many different versions of herself.” —Cris Harris, author of I Have Not Loved You With My Whole Heart

Women's Press of Canada Feminisms and Womanisms A Womens Studies Reader
Book SynopsisBrings together theory and practical application, so that feminist discourse interacts as a partner with the lived experience of women's social action. The selections combine classics in feminist thought with work from modern theorists and offer a solid foundation in international feminism.Trade ReviewFeminisms and Womanisms is an ideal text for teaching undergraduate courses. Its key strengths are that it includes the foremothers of feminism, has a nice mix of Canadian and international discourse, and covers the central issues underlying the history of feminism - it is thus a good foundation text. It strikes a great balance between the 'must-read' feminist foremothers and Third Wave feminists, while being inclusive of a diverse set of feminist voices, and, importantly, the voice of First Nations feminists. This reader offers students a balanced approach to the study of the history of feminist discourse, theory, and action."" - Dr. Andrea O'Reilly, Director of the Association for Research on Mothering (A.R.M.) and Associate Professor of Women's Studies, York UniversityTable of Contents SECTION ONE: FOUNDATIONS Meg Luxton, Feminism As a Class Act: Working-Class Feminism and the Women's Movement in Canada Sharon Donna McIvor, Self-Government and Aboriginal Women L.

The University of North Carolina Press The Invention and Reinvention of Big Bill Broonzy
Book SynopsisOver the course of his long career, legendary bluesman William "Big Bill" Broonzy (1893–1958) helped shape the trajectory of the genre, from its roots in the rural Mississippi River Delta, through its rise as a popular genre in the North, to its eventual international acclaim. Along the way, Broonzy adopted an evolving personal and professional identity, tailoring his self-presentation to the demands of the place and time. His remarkable professional fluidity mirrored the range of expectations from his audiences, whose ideas about race, national belonging, identity, and the blues were refracted through Broonzy as if through a prism. Kevin D. Greene argues that Broonzy''s popular success testifies to his ability to navigate the cultural expectations of his different audiences. However, this constant reinvention came at a personal and professional cost. Using Broonzy''s multifaceted career, Greene situates blues performance at the center of understanding African American self-presentation and racial identity in the first half of the twentieth century. Through Broonzy''s life and times, Greene assesses major themes and events in African American history, including the Great Migration, urbanization, and black expatriate encounters with European culture consumers. Drawing on a range of historical source materials as well as oral histories and personal archives held by Broonzy''s son, Greene perceptively interrogates how notions of race, gender, and audience reception continue to shape concepts of folk culture and musical authenticity.

University of Toronto Press Italian Film in the Present Tense
Book SynopsisFor observers of the European film scene, Federico Fellini’s death in 1993 came to stand for the demise of Italian cinema as a whole. Exploring an eclectic sampling of works from the new millennium, Italian Film in the Present Tense confronts this narrative of decline with strong evidence to the contrary. Millicent Marcus highlights Italian cinema’s new sources of industrial strength, its re-placement of the Rome-centred studio system with regional film commissions, its contemporary breakthroughs on the aesthetic front, and its vital engagement with the changing economic and socio-political circumstances in twenty-first-century Italian life. Examining works that stand out for their formal brilliance and their moral urgency, the book presents a series of fourteen case studies, featuring analyses of such renowned films as Il Divo, Gomorrah, The Great Beauty, We Have a Pope, The Mafia Only Kills in the Summer, and Fire at Sea, along with lesserTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Preface Introduction: An Overview Mafias 1.

University Press of Mississippi Pulling a Rabbit Out of a Hat
Book SynopsisWho Framed Roger Rabbit emerged at a nexus of people, technology, and circumstances that is historically, culturally, and aesthetically momentous. By the 1980s, animation seemed a dying art. Not even the Walt Disney Company, which had already won over thirty Academy Awards, could stop what appeared to be the end of an animation era.To revitalize popular interest in animation, Disney needed to reach outside its own studio and create the distinctive film that helped usher in a Disney Renaissance. That film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, though expensive and controversial, debuted in theaters to huge success at the box office in 1988. Unique in its conceit of cartoons living in the real world, Who Framed Roger Rabbit magically blended live action and animation, carrying with it a humor that still resonates with audiences.Upon the film's release, Disney's marketing program led the audience to believe that Who Framed Roger Rabbit was made solely by director Bob Zemeckis,

University Press of Mississippi They Also Write for Kids
Book SynopsisOutside the world of children''s literature studies, children''s books by authors of well-known texts for adults are often forgotten or marginalized. Although many adults today read contemporary children''s and young adult fiction for pleasure, others continue to see such texts as unsuitable for older audiences, and they are unlikely to cross-read children''s books that were themselves cross-written by authors like Chinua Achebe, Anita Desai, Joy Harjo, or Amy Tan. Meanwhile, these literary voices have produced politically vital works of children''s literature whose complex themes persist across boundaries of expected audience. These works form part of a larger body of activist writing for children that has long challenged preconceived notions about the seriousness of such books and ideas about who, in fact, should read them.
