Duke University Press White Innocence
Book SynopsisIn White Innocence Gloria Wekker explores a central paradox of Dutch life—the passionate denial of racial discrimination and colonial violence coexisting alongside aggressive racism and xenophobia—to show how the narrative of Dutch racial exceptionalism elides the Netherland's colonial past and safeguards white privilege.Trade Review"White Innocence explains why white Dutch people seem unable to grasp the racism of Zwarte Piet: Assured of their own social progressivism, they can a priori think and therefore do no wrong. . . . Wekker concludes her work with a plea for 'another "embarrassment of riches,"' for acknowledging the racism staring us in the face. In the United States, we might start by recognizing that there is, and always has been, no more audacious identity politics than white identity politics, as Trump and his white-supremacist ilk gleefully demonstrate. At least the illusion of innocence has been stripped away. Or perhaps not?" -- Nick Barr Clingan * The Nation *"White Innocence exposes how Dutch racism is infused with classism, sexism, and homophobia in discussions of everyday racism that includes [Wekker's] own personal exoticization as a child and criminalization as an adult, TV talk shows and films, experiences of mixed-race families, white gay liberation that constitutes Dutch homonationalism . . . and the 'siloing' of gender and race/ethnicity in politics and academics that makes intersectional policy and scholarship impossible. In doing so, Wekker reveals the very real personal consequences for people of color when their very existence is in service of white people." -- Melissa F. Weiner * Journal of Anthropological Research *"White Innocence provides a welcome and thought-provoking impetus to think more acutely about the long-term impacts of imperialism, as well as about the interrelations between colonies and metropole." -- Bart Luttikhuis * History: Reviews of New Books *"White Innocence makes a significant contribution to the field of critical whiteness studies by examining the role of race, especially whiteness, and the legacy of colonialism in the present-day Netherlands." -- Shannon Sullivan * philoSOPHIA *"White Innocence is an enticing invitation to confront the contradictions of Dutch discourse on race, colonialism and violence. . . . Wekker’s work is of vital relevance for those willing to unlearn the legacy of colonialism." -- Lucía Berro Pizzarossa * European Journal of Women's Studies *"This book has been a long time coming. . . .

Pennsylvania State University Press Publisher to the Decadents Leonard Smithers in
Book SynopsisThis work chronicles the experience of Leonard Smithers (1861-1907), a key figure in the literary culture of late Victorian England. Known primarily for publishing books of upscale pornography, he became the publisher of choice for the Decadents, including Oscar Wilde and Audrey Beardsley.Trade Review“Publisher to the Decadents: Leonard Smithers in the Careers of Beardsley, Wilde, and Dowson offers a much needed reexamination of Smithers’s meteoric career as one of the period’s leading and most misunderstood publishers. It is a handsome book, with numerous illustrations and useful appendices on topics such as Smithers and the erotic book trade and Smithers and the Chiswick Press. What emerges is a very different, and unabashedly positive, view of Smithers. To this end, and with impeccable scholarship, Nelson touches on all aspects of his enterprise: finances, gauging of a perspective audience, advertisement, production, response to reviewers, and, most importantly, his relationships with some of the most prominent authors of the day.”—Ellen Brinks Colorado Review“We see how the authors’ circumstances interact with the creative process; how a skillful, if uxorious, publisher supports, prompts, and cajoles his artists in often distressing circumstances; and how type, paper, binding materials, illustration, and title-page design combine in masterpieces of the publisher’s art. . . . Publisher to the Decadents will satisfy the most rigorous scholar. But it will also engage the general reader with an interest in Wilde, Beardsley, or Dowson, the decadent 1890s, or publishing history.”—Phillip K. Cohen Albion“What Publisher to the Decadents provides, nonetheless, is a thoughtful, rigorous, materially grounded, and eye-opening examination of the book world in the latter half of the literary Nineties.”—Margaret D. Stetz Nineteenth-Century Literature

Rebecca is one of the underrated classics of the 20th century ... Rebecca is a masterpiece in which du Maurier pulls off several spectacular high-wire acts that many great writers wouldn't attempt * Guardian *Her masterpiece . . . Seldom has a dead woman exercised such power beyond the grave. Rebecca will live for ever because du Maurier touches a fearful nerve, buried deep in the unconscious * The Times *It's the perfect winter book, brooding, dangerous and engrossing -- Kit de Waal * Sainsbury's Magazine *A mesmerising novel which reveals more on each readingIt is the greatest psychological thriller of all time. I see du Maurier as a forerunner to Patricia Highsmith, Ruth Rendell, Gillian Flynn: she is the giant whose magnificent shoulders the rest of us stand uponWhat she did was build emotional landscapes that can be entered at will, in which difficult and untamable desires were given free rein. Maybe because of her relationship with gender, she was able to make worlds in which people and even houses are mysterious and mutable, not as they seem; haunted rooms in which disembodied spirits sometimes dance at absolute liberty * Guardian *I read this book more than twenty years ago, and must have read it a dozen times since. The characters are incredibly vivid, and the twists superb. It's the book every writer wishes they'd written -- Clare MackintoshThis 1930s gothic thriller is suspenseful and so well crafted. Its young, nameless heroine marries rich widower Maxim de Winter and returns with him to his mansion, Manderley, only to find the ghost of his first wife, Rebecca, still lingers * Good Housekeeping *

HarperCollins Publishers Things in Nature Merely Grow
Book Synopsis''Unforgettable'' SUNDAY TIMES''Courageous'' OBSERVER''One of the most important books to be published in years'' SARA COLLINS''There are few writers with Li's power'' DOUGLAS STUARTThe best book I have read this year' DAVID NICHOLLS''I will return to it for the rest of my life'' CHARLOTTE WOODA remarkable, defiant work of radical acceptance from acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist Yiyun Li as she considers the loss of her son James.''There is no good way to say this,'' Yiyun Li writes at the beginning of this book.''There is no good way to state these facts, which must be acknowledged. My husband and I had two children and lost them both: Vincent in 2017, at sixteen, James in 2024, at nineteen. Both chose suicide, and both died not far from home.''There is no good way to say this because words fall short. It takes only an instant for death to become fact, ''a single point in a timeline''. Living now on this single point, Li turns to thinking and reasoning and searching for words that might hold a place for James. Li does what she can: including not just writing but gardening, reading Camus and Wittgenstein, learning the piano, and living thinkingly alongside death.This is a book for James, but it is not a book about grieving. As Li writes, ''The verb that does not die is to be. Vincent was and is and will always be Vincent. James was and is and will always be James. We were and are and will always be their parents. There is no now and then, now and later, only, now and now and now and now.'' Things in Nature Merely Grow is a testament to Li's indomitable spirit.As seen in the New Yorker, Vanity Fair, LA Times, TIME, and the Paris Review. ''To state that this courageous book is a testament to love is an understatement. One is left altered by it'' OBSERVER''A story of loss that is unlike any other book I''ve read an unforgettable monument to endurance'' SUNDAY TIMES''Resolutely unsentimental, and yet it might wind you with its emotional force'' GUARDIAN''A memoir unlike others, strange and profound and fiercely determined not to look away'' NEW YORK TIMES''An extraordinary book' SARAH MOSS''A manifesto of living, not dying, and of how we endure the most unimaginable things'' SINÉAD GLEESON, in THE WEEK''A profound look at how a parent continues to live in a world without her children'TIMEA book unlike any I''ve read, that brims with rare clarity and intelligence, with love and care.
