J. Dionne Jr., author of Code Red"What would you risk for a sister, a brother, a friend, a stranger? Mona Passage is one of those rare novels that will expand your heart."—Janet Benton, author of Lilli de Jong"An engrossing five-star read from a talented new author—not to be missed!"—Jim Howe, author of Red Crew"Captures the maritime mood that evokes Hemingway and marries it with the terse, tense dialog of Elmore Leonard. He wraps it all in a political swirl of current events, romance and a plucky plot."—Michael Fabey, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist and author of Crashback: The Power Clash Between the U.S. and China in the Pacific"Mona Passage is a fast-paced storm of an adventure that seizes you on the first page, and doesn’t let go until the very end."—Adrian Bonenberger, author of Afghan Post"This exciting debut novel brims with elements from Bardenwerper’s days at sea.

Book Synopsis Marta Oulie, written in diary form, intimately documents the inner life of a young woman disappointed by the conventions of marriage and longing for passion. Set in early twentieth century Kristiania (now Oslo), this is an incomparable psychological portrait of a woman whose destiny is defined by the changing mores of her day—as she descends into an ever-darker reckoning. Trade Review "Like those two other great European novels of adultery, Lady Chatterley's Lover and Anna Karenina, Marta Oulie traces the interior life of a woman from the beautiful and expansive rush of her first love, to her swelling dissatisfaction with her ‘doll's house’ existence constrained by turn-of-the-nineteenth-century values, her growing distance from her adoring husband, her unconsidered entry into an affair, and finally to her ultimate disillusion, self-recrimination, and despair. Thanks to Tiina Nunnally’s nuanced translation, we can experience this strangely compelling novel in all the precise observations of Undset’s original Norwegian text."—Susan Vreeland, author of Clara and Mr. Tiffany and Luncheon of the Boating Party"A vote of gratitude is due to the University of Minnesota Press for bringing us, for the first time in English, this impeccably translated edition of Undset's early and remarkable novella." —John Banville"Most of Undset’s later novels—including the medieval epic “Kristin Lavransdatter,” which earned her the Nobel Prize—took their cue from this blunt début, dealing in various ways with the social and familial constraints of women." —The New Yorker"It’s unsurprising that Undset won a Nobel Prize for Literature, and I’m shocked that it took this long to become more widely known in the United States. I’d compare it to Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles, or even The Scarlet Letter in its intensity." —Off the Book"Undset’s writing is vivid, engaging, and fast moving. Never before published in English, this translation by Tiina Nunnally is clear, stark and gripping." —The Chronicle-JournalTable of ContentsContentsIntroductionJane SmileyMarta OuliePart IPart IIPart III

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Foucault in Iran is a courageous and thought-provoking invitation to understand the Iranian revolution, and Foucault’s reaction to it, in an original way. A splendid work that goes beyond simple binaries, it has no sympathy for the clichéd vocabulary used by Progressivists to describe these events—or to criticize Foucault for his alleged romanticisation of the Iranian revolution."—Talal Asad, City University of New York "Foucault in Iran is absorbing and integral. Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi deftly situates his analysis within the currents of the protest movements that galvanized Iranians across wide ideological, economic, and class spectrums."—Nasrin Rahimieh, University of California, Irvine"Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi shows that the Iranian revolutionary movement was a socio-political source of creativity with historical significance. Foucault in Iran is a devastating critique of self-righteous Enlightenment rationality, and a must-read for anyone interested in Iranian political history, revolutionary action, and Foucault’s later writings."—Babak Rahimi, University of California, San Diego"Through a meticulous presentation of events, reading, and engagement with Foucault’s reportage, and the subsequent critiques of his writings on the topic, Foucault in Iran marvelously recaptures the unfolding unpredictability of the events and brings out vividly how this was a revolution without a known script, even to its participants."—Afsaneh Najmabadi, Harvard University"This book presents an intimate portrait of the events and conditions that led to the revolution, coupled with a fascinating account of Foucault’s engagement with that moment. Historically rich and theoretically nuanced, Foucault in Iran advances a scathing critique of previous works on this subject that charged Foucault with having endorsed Islamist violence by supporting the revolution. This book offers a more complicated reading of Foucault’s views on the revolution that disrupts binaries like secular/Islamist while also providing a riveting analysis on questions of time, history, and revolution."—New Books Network"Highly recommended, not only as a counter to Afary and Anderson (and many like-minded detractors of Foucault), but for all interested in Foucault’s work in general."—CHOICE"Foucault in Iran is not simply a good work or even a brave one, it is a thoroughly necessary exemplar of contemporary academia. Every book should be this good."—Hong Kong Review of Books"An exemplary book for our time."—SCTIW Reviews"An impressively meticulous reading of Michel Foucault’s writings on the events that preceded the overthrow of the Pahlavi monarchy in early 1979."—Contemporary Political Theory"It distinguishes itself foremost as a welcome provocation to Afary and Anderson’s labeling of Foucault as an unwitting, “bad leftist.”"—Milestones"A significant critical work in the fields of Foucault studies, comparative revolutions, and political philosophy, Foucault in Iran has already become and will surely remain a must-read in these fields."—Canadian Journal of HistoryTable of ContentsContents Preface Introduction: Foucault’s Indictment 1. Thinking the Unthinkable: The Revolutionary Movement in Iran 2. How Did Foucault Make Sense of the Iranian Revolution? 3. Misrepresenting the Revolution, Misreading Foucault 4.

Book SynopsisUses C.L.R. James'sThe Black Jacobins as a jumping-off point for a reconsideration of colonial and postcolonial concepts of history, politics, and agency.Trade Review"[R]eaders… will find it a provocative and insightful challenge for postcolonial studies of the Caribbean and other world regions…. Conscripts of Modernity marks a significant step forward in the project of exploring critical histories of the postcolonial present in the Caribbean and around the globe." - Jacob Campbell, Transforming Anthropology"This book is fascinating, and I recommend it highly. . . . Tremendously thought-provoking and relevant." - Danny Postel, opendemocracy.net"This is a well-argued, rich book raising pertinent questions about the writing of history. . . . Historians interested in the postcolonial era should take note of this important study." - Rosemarijn Hoeft, American Historical Review“I derived immense pleasure from reading this book, a book that offers a challenging, insightful set of questions to postcolonial theory and to scholars of C. L. R. James.” - Sophie McCall, Topia“Conscripts of Modernity is an important contribution to world knowledge. . . . And it should do much to displace the easy assumptions about temporality and power apparently so much a part of the academy’s horizon of possibility today.” - John F. Collins, Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History“Scott’s strikingly original argument about the need for a tragic mode of criticism in the postcolonial present is developed through a stunning critical reading of the foundational text in Atlantic studies. This is C.L.R. James’ The Black Jacobins.” - David Lambert, Cultural Geographies“The lessons of the book are pertinent to anthropological writing as much as historical writing. . . . Although its focus on theory and history may be disconcerting to the general anthropological audience, Scott moves through his argument slowly, and the book’s novel and powerful theoretical approach make it well worth the effort. It is a significant achievement that contributes to the development of new analytical models fit for a postcolonial world.” - Emma Kowal, Oceania“Conscripts of Modernity is a highly original and lucidly argued text, a major advance in David Scott’s effort to elaborate a new form of postcolonial criticism in the wake of the collapse of the emancipatory hopes embodied in the anticolonialist moment. Scott’s position will be found controversial by some. But it will not and cannot be ignored.”—Stuart Hall, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, The Open University"For some time now, David Scott has been puzzling about where critical inquiry goes next. . . . In a radical expansion of [his] argument, his new book, Conscripts of Modernity proposes not that we give better answers to the old questions, but that the questions themselves are no longer relevant--because they belong to a different 'problem space' and need to be radically refashioned." -- Stuart Hall * BOMB *“Conscripts of Modernity is an important contribution to world knowledge. . . .

Book SynopsisTime Binds is a powerful argument that temporal and sexual dissonance are intertwined, and that the writing of history can be both embodied and erotic. Challenging queer theoryâ??s recent emphasis on loss and trauma, Elizabeth Freeman foregrounds bodily pleasure in the experience and representation of time as she interprets an eclectic archive of queer literature, film, video, and art. She examines work by visual artists who emerged in a commodified, â??postfeminist,â? and â??postgayâ? world. Yet they do not fully accept the dissipation of political and critical power implied by the idea that various political and social battles have been won and are now consigned to the past. By privileging temporal gaps and narrative detours in their work, these artists suggest ways of putting the past into meaningful, transformative relation with the present. Such â??queer asynchroniesâ? provide opportunities for rethinking historical consciousness in erotic terms, thereby countering the methTrade Review“Time Binds is an elegant book bristling with intelligence and wit. A fascinating blend of the familiar and the new, it will have a major hand in opening up queer theory, to its own repressed, to its own dreams, to take its chances.”—Carolyn Dinshaw, author of Getting Medieval: Sexualities and Communities, Pre- and Postmodern“Blazing and brilliant. Elizabeth Freeman forges claims with texture, rigor, relevance, and grace, giving her masterful, original study a voice of unusual tenderness and depth. Clearly, Freeman stands at the forefront of where queer theory needs to go: into the strangeness, the utter queerness, lying inside the beats of time.”—Kathryn Bond Stockton, author of The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century“Despite the queer academy’s distance from corporeality and the promotion of more transcendental approaches to historiography, Freeman boldly outlines history as an erotic, embodied experience. . . . Without cleansing their hands of the complicatedness of history’s racial legacies, these theorists explore the messiness of queerness. Freeman’s book is centered on queer time and queer history’s exciting and, at times, (corporeally) violent moments. . . . Fierce indeed.” -- Lizzy Shramko * Lambda Book Report *“Positive but not celebratory, exploratory but rigorous, grounded in the messy referentiality of bodies and texts but compellingly speculative, Time Binds is a pathbreaking book that will have multifarious impacts upon queer and feminist studies.” -- Guy Davidson * Australian Feminist Studies *“In addition to elegant and radical close readings, Time Binds gives us a way to think about pleasure and temporality in combination. . . . Time Binds provides us with close readings of experimental works of film and literature while simultaneously exposing the political stakes of temporality by foregrounding pleasure and the body on both an individual and collective level.” -- Amber Jamilla Musser * Reviews in Cultural Theory *“In the end, Freeman offers us a queer future in which close reading remains both a practice and a pleasure we might repurpose for our own sexual–textual encounters, as well as a method of doing queer history through which we are able to feel in touch with, and touch, the social. For making pining for pleasurable encounters with the past, lingering over texts and bodies, and ‘lesbian’ sex hot again in a ‘new now’ kind of way, Freeman’s book rightly demands we take pause via the sensory, and the sensual, to feel the queerness in this.” -- Gino Conti * Textual Practice *"Time Binds is perhaps the most compelling argument for the ways non-normative relationships with time and history can be particularly generative for queer politics." -- Craig Jennex * TOPIA *Table of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgments xxv Introduction: Queer and Not Now 1 1.

Book SynopsisMagdalena J. Zaborowska uses James Baldwin's house in the south of France as a lens through which to reconstruct his biography and to explore the politics and poetics of blackness, queerness, and domesticity in his complex and underappreciated later works.Trade Review"Zaborowska's readings into Baldwin's work are thoughtful and illuminating. An opinionated and passionate book on one of the 20th century's most important writers." * Kirkus Reviews *"Zaborowska takes you on an intricate journey in which she explores the central theme of home and what this means in terms of identity and belonging. . . . This book contains vast details of Baldwin’s life in France – full of stunning photographs and beautifully illustrated, it draws on interviews with those closest to him and unpublished letters and works. It dissects, analyses and tries to understand the life lived by Baldwin, particularly how the relationship between social space and architecture is linked to race. It enables readers to reassess the richness and complexity of his writing and gives them an opportunity to understand the man behind the work. . . ." -- Kalwant Bhopal * Times Higher Education *"Relying on extensive interviews with Baldwin’s friends and lovers, manuscripts, and unpublished letters, Zaborowska introduces new insights into the writer’s life and work. Me And My House is an essential read for both serious students and scholars, but also fans wishing to know more about the life and motivations of this iconic master." * The Advocate *" [An] extremely sensitive, thorough and well-informed appraisal of Baldwin’s final French sojourn by one of the leading scholars of the writer’s work and life." -- Claudine Raynaud * European Journal of American Culture *“Zaborowska describes in full, rich detail the actual home that Baldwin established in the south of France, recreating its physical qualities and also the extraordinary community he assembled there. . . . The image of Baldwin that emerges from this book is therefore quite different from the isolated stranger that previous studies have established.” -- Robert Butler * African American Review *Table of ContentsAbbreviations ix Acknowledgments xi Introduction.

Book SynopsisFeatures a benign old monk who listens to a prospective novice's tale of depravity, violence, and carnivorous excess while a nice little family drama - in which nearly everyone dies - unfurls. In this title, the author also treats us to a cornucopia of cooked animal flesh - ostrich, camel, donkey, dog, as well as the more common varieties.Trade Review"Mo the public figure is careful with words. But Mo the novelist slips past the censors by dressing up his cutting realism in absurd and fantastic clothing. In doing so, he's embracing a long tradition that stretches from Cervantes to the German novelist Gunter Grass.... Mo's skill makes POW! a wild, unpredictable ride-a work of demented and subversive genius." (Los Angeles Times)"
