As Sally, the hotel receptionist, scrupulously yet obscurely unfolds each of her guests’ cloaks-and-daggers, she barely realizes the changes it had on her. In the industry that embraced her, it is only a choice of submitting to it or betraying it - either way, these changes reached too grave of an extent that it may be too late for her to hold back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The profile of prisoners across many Western countries is strikingly similar – 95% male, predominantly undereducated and underemployed, from the most deprived neighbourhoods. This book reflects on how similarly positioned men configure masculinities against global economic shifts that have seen the decimation of traditional, manual-heavy industry and with it the disruption of long-established relations of labour. Drawing on life history interviews and classical ethnography, the book charts a group of men’s experiences pre, during and post prison. Tracking the development of masculinities from childhood to adulthood, across impoverished streets, ‘failing’ schools and inadequate state ‘care’, the book questions whether this proved better preparation for serving prison time than working in their local, service-dominated, labour markets. It integrates theories of crime, geography, economics and masculinity to take into account structural and global economic shifts as well as individual long-term perspectives in order to provide a broad examination on pathways to prison and post prison.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the veritable hype concerning postmodernism in the 1980s and early 1990s, when questions about when it began, what it means and which texts it comprises were apt to trigger heated discussions, the excitement has notably cooled down at the turn of the century. Voices are now beginning to be heard which seem to suggest a new episteme in the making which points beyond postmodernism, while it remains at the same time very uncertain whether what appears as newness is not rather a return to traditional concepts, theoretical premises, and authorial practices. Contributors to this volume propose to explore new openings and recent developments in anglophone literatures and cultural theories which engage with issues seen to be central in the construction of a postmodern paradigm, but deal with them in ways that promise new openings or a new Zeitgeist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply reported, gripping narrative of injustice, exoneration, and the lifelong impact of incarceration, Beyond Innocence is the poignant saga of one remarkable life that sheds vitally important light on the failures of the American justice system at every level In June 1985, a young Black man in Winston-Salem, N.C. named Darryl Hunt was falsely convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the rape and murder of a white copyeditor at the local paper. Many in the community believed him innocent and crusaded for his release even as subsequent trials and appeals reinforced his sentence. Finally, in 2003, the tireless efforts of his attorney combined with an award-winning series of articles by Phoebe Zerwick in the Winston-Salem Journal led to the DNA evidence that exonerated Hunt. Three years later, the acclaimed documentary, The Trials of Darryl Hunt, made him known across the country and brought his story to audiences around the world. But Hunt’s story was far from over. As Zerwick poignantly reveals, it is singularly significant in the annals of the miscarriage of justice and for the legacy Hunt ultimately bequeathed. Part true crime drama, part chronicle of a life cut short by systemic racism, Beyond Innocence powerfully illuminates the sustained catastrophe faced by an innocent person in prison and the civil death nearly everyone who has been incarcerated experiences attempting to restart their lives. Freed after nineteen years behind bars, Darryl Hunt became a national advocate for social justice, and his case inspired lasting reforms, among them a law that allows those on death row to appeal their sentence with evidence of racial bias. He was a beacon of hope for so many—until he could no longer bear the burden of what he had endured and took his own life. Fluidly crafted by a master journalist, Beyond Innocence makes an urgent moral call for an American reckoning with the legacies of racism in the criminal justice system and the human toll of the carceral state.

Book excerpt: This book provides an assessment of contemporary international knowledge about the experiences of life after release from prison. For over 100 years people leaving prison have been supervised by probation services, but little has been written about how those who are supervised experience this process, or how this process influences experiences post-release. Research suggests that the success or failure of supervision in terms of reoffending may be related to how it is experienced, but little has been written about how supervision interacts with these experiences. Despite this lack of grounded knowledge, post-prison supervision continues to grow internationally. This book addresses issues relating to life after release through providing a vision of contemporary life after prison in different social and economic climates from those who are the subjects of this growing and changing form of penal power. An engaging and timely study, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of criminal justice and punishment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crime that led to “the first significant challenge to capital punishment in Georgia” and inspired the Grateful Dead song “Dupree’s Diamond Blues” (Atlanta INtown). On December 15, 1921, gunshots echoed across Atlanta’s famous Peachtree Street moments before a handsome young man darted away from Kaiser’s Jewelers. Frank DuPre left in his wake a dead Pinkerton guard and a missing ring. As Christmas shoppers looked on in panic, he raced through the Kimball House Hotel and shot another victim. The brazen events terrified a crime-filled city already on edge. A manhunt captured the nineteen-year-old, unemployed DuPre, who faced a quick conviction and a hanging sentence. Months of appeals pitted a prosecutor demanding some “good old-fashioned rope” against “maudlin sentimentalists” and “sob sisters.” Author Tom Hughes recounts the true harrowing story behind the legend of one of the last men hanged in Atlanta. “Revisits the crime, the trial, and the execution that captured newspaper headlines for months.”—WABE.org

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Woman in the Dunes comes Secret Rendezvous, the bizarrely erotic and comic adventures of a man searching for his missing wife in a mysteriously vast underground hospital. From the moment that an ambulance appears in the middle of the night to take his wife, who protests that she is perfectly healthy, her bewildered husband realizes that things are not as they should be. His covert explorations reveal that the enormous hospital she was taken to is home to a network of constant surveillance, outlandish sex experiments, and an array of very odd and even violent characters. Within a few days, though no closer to finding his wife, the unnamed narrator finds himself appointed the hospital’s chief of security, reporting to a man who thinks he’s a horse. With its nightmarish vision of modern medicine and modern life, Secret Rendezvous is another masterpiece from Japan’s most gifted and original writer of serious fiction.

Book excerpt: Jeremiah was once the most feared name in the world for anyone who had heard of him. He was the ruthless general of the demonic hordes on Earth. Now, he works for the other side. Trying to reform, the demon is now working with the prophets of the world to train some of their best and brightest youth. Raul Habsburg is one of the most powerful members of a secretive organization called The Society of Minds. For time immemorial, the Society has striven to stay hidden, while promoting the intellectual growth of humanity. Like the world’s prophets, they have supernatural powers that set them apart from the rest of mankind, as well as help them overcome their enemies: evil and ignorance. Unlike the prophets, the Society doesn’t have a devotion to a deity, but their enemies are, nevertheless, the same. Though they have never met, Jeremiah and Raul have a common foe. A new enemy, going by the name of Adversary, is forming a demonic army of his own to fill the void of power in the ranks of the fallen. It falls on both Jeremiah and Raul to investigate this situation for their own sake and the sakes of those whom they’ve sworn to protect. Despite a need to stay hidden, Raul and Jeremiah must step into the light to face Adversary and keep him from being able to create his demonic army. But neither of them has any idea what to expect as they step Beyond the Shadows.

Book excerpt: Capitalism has proven much more resilient than Marx anticipated, and the working class has, until now, hardly lived up to his hopes. The Marxian concept of class rests on exclusion. Only the ‘pure’ doubly-free wage-workers are able to create value; from a strategic perspective, all other parts of the world’s working populations are secondary. But global labour history suggests, that slaves and other unfree workers are an essential component of the capitalist economy. What might a critique of the political economy of labour look like that critically reviews the experiences of the past five hundred years while moving beyond Eurocentrism? In this volume twenty-two authors offer their thoughts on this question, both from a historical and theoretical perspective. Contributors include: Riccardo Bellofiore, Sergio Bologna, C. George Caffentzis, Silvia Federici, Niklas Frykman, Ferruccio Gambino, Detlef Hartmann, Max Henninger, Thomas Kuczynski, Marcel van der Linden, Peter Linebaugh, Ahlrich Meyer, Maria Mies, Jean-Louis Prat, Marcus Rediker, Karl Heinz Roth, Devi Sacchetto, Subir Sinha, Massimiliano Tomba, Carlo Vercellone, Peter Way, Steve Wright.

Book excerpt: Beyond the Comfort Zone, set in Yunnan province, China, and in Thailand, concludes the Laney and Cade Trilogy, Journeys Through Scenic Chaos. Convinced by their longtime friend, Evelyn Mc Duff, to join a tour through minority villages near Lijiang, Laney and Cade soon find themselves on separate paths. Laney stays in Lijiang to give moral support to the aunt of a young tour guide who has gone missing. Once again, Laney's helpful nature puts her in danger. Cade and a friend pursue a man they suspect of having bilked them out of the money they have invested to promote his small hotels. An American expatriate, a former scholar now propelled by greed and a desire for vengeance against a former lover, links Laney and Cade and their associates to a scheme that attracts the attention of a government agent and causes Cade to face arrest unless he helps to apprehend the perpetrator of the "best sleazy business of the day."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 44 Scotland Street -- Book 10 Excitement abounds when the revolving door of life brings fresh faces and hilarious new developments to the residents of 44 Scotland Street. Things are looking up for seven-year-old Bertie Pollock. The arrival of his spirited grandmother and the absence of his meddlesome mother—who is currently running a book club in a Bedouin harem (don’t ask)—bring unforeseen blessings: no psychotherapy, no Italian lessons, and no yoga classes. Meanwhile, surprises await Scotland Street’s grown-ups. Matthew makes a discovery that could be a major windfall for his family, but also presents a worrisome dilemma. Pat learns a secret about her father’s fiancée that may shake up her family, unless she can convince the perpetually narcissistic Bruce to help her out. And the Duke of Johannesburg finds himself in sudden need of an explanation—and an escape route—when accosted by a determined guest at a soirée. From the cunning schemes of the Association of Scottish Nudists to the myriad expressive possibilities of the word “aye,” Alexander McCall Smith guides us through the risks and rewards of friendship, love, and family with his usual inimitable wit and irresistible charm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiohead and the Journey Beyond Genre traces the uses and transgressions of genre in the music of Radiohead and studies the band’s varied reception in online and offline media. Radiohead’s work combines traditional rock sounds with a unique and experimental approach towards genre that sets the band apart from the contemporary mainstream. A play with diverse styles and audience expectations has shaped Radiohead’s musical output and opened up debates about genre amongst critics, fans, and academics alike. Interpretations speak of a music that is referential of the past but also alludes to the future. Applying both music- and discourse-analytical methods, the book discusses how genre manifests in Radiohead’s work and how it is interpreted amongst different audience groups. It explores how genre and generic flexibility affect the listeners’ search for musical meaning and ways of discussion. This results in the development of a theoretical framework for the study of genre in individual popular music oeuvres that explores the equal validity of widely differing forms of reception as a multidimensional network of meaning. While Radiohead’s music is the product of an eclectic mixture of musical influences and styles, the book also shows how the band’s experimental stance has increasingly fostered debates about Radiohead’s generic novelty and independence. It asks what remains of genre in light of its past or imminent transgression. Offering new perspectives on popular music genre, transgression, and the music and reception of Radiohead, the book will appeal to academics, students, and those interested in Radiohead and matters of genre. It contributes to scholarship in musicology, popular music, media, and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young boy riding in his father's taxi, Bernard Montpeirous never imagined the adventures that awaited him in the streets (and doorways) of New York City. In his engaging memoir, he recounts his childhood experiences as a first-generation Haitian American and shares highlights of his career as a doorman for two of the city's luxury hotels. While on the job, Montpeirous met some of the biggest stars of all time and bore witness to what they were like when the cameras were gone. From Sylvester Stallone to Mick Jagger, Montpeirous's clients partied hard and were often happy to let the doorman in on the fun. The Revolving Door, however, isn't all about the high life. Montpeirous also focuses on the moments that forced him to grow and change. As a young man, he was up for almost anything, but Montpeirous now has learned the importance of family and fatherhood and has confronted the demons he ran from for half his life. In The Revolving Door, Montpeirous shares entertaining anecdotes about hobnobbing with celebrities as well as insightful advice on facing up to your shortcomings. You won't soon forget the tremendous highs and the terrifying lows of his life's journey.

Book excerpt: A best seller in the UK, this witty and endearing novel about a woman's mission to discover what will make her truly happy introduces ten extraordinarily different men but none, it seems, that entirely fits our heroine's needs. Among them are The Virgin, who has charm but can't spell experience, The Lord, whose stiff upper lip makes for a stiff upper life, and The Billionaire, a walking bankroll with a bankrupt heart. So when The Actor has been dumped, The Lawyer's BMW consolation prize sold, and The Schoolmaster left behind, there's only so much she can give to The Lover, who's out of her head when he's out of her bed, Mr. Cerebral, a late-night brilliant idea always gone by morning, or The Director, who can't say Cut to his own wife. After journeying across several continents in search of the perfect man, our smart and stylish protagonist finally realizes that not one of these men has made her feel complete -- on the road to fulfillment the first person she must learn to satisfy is herself.
