Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central to every vampire story is the undead’s need for human blood, but equally compelling is the human ingestion of vampire blood, which often creates a bond. This blood connection suggests two primal, natural desires: breastfeeding and communion with God through a blood covenant. This analysis of vampire stories explores the benefits of the bonding experiences of breastfeeding and Christian and vampire narratives, arguing that modern readers and viewers are drawn to this genre because of our innate fascination with the relationship between human and maker.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new monograph, author Debra Dudek defines a new era of vampire texts in which vampires have moved from their iconic dark, feared, often seductive figure lingering in alleys, to the beloved and morally sensitive vampire winning the affections of teen protagonists throughout pop culture. Dudek takes a close look at three hugely-popular vampire series for young adults, drawing parallels between the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Twilight Saga novels/films, and The Vampire Diaries TV series/book series. By defining a new era of vampire texts and situating these three series within this transition, The Beloved Does Not Bite signals their significance and lays the groundwork for future scholarship on the flourishing genre of paranormal romances for young adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2016, Disney introduced its first Latina princess, Elena of Avalor. Princesa of the Periphery explores this Disney property using multiple case studies to understand its approach to girlhood and Latinidad. Following the circuit of culture model, author Diana Leon-Boys teases out moments of complex negotiations by Disney, producers, and audiences as they navigate Elena’s circulation. Case studies highlight how a flexible Latinidad is deployed through corporate materials, social media pages, theme park experiences, and the television series to create a princess who is both marginal to Disney’s normative vision of princesshood and central to Disney’s claims of diversification. This multi-layered analysis of Disney’s mediated Latina girlhood interrogates the complex relationship between the U.S.’s largest ethnic minority and a global conglomerate that stands in for the U.S. on the global stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dense forest on a dark and misty night; Elena and Ellie were so terrified they ran for their lives. The forest was pitch black. Elena and Ellie ran into trees. Under branches, not stopping for anything; GASPING for breath. They both resisted looking behind them. They just ran as fast as they could. “This way princesses;” Came a mysterious voice. Both of them ran towards the voice. “Luis!” they both yelled. “Shhh. Follow me,” whispered Luis. He took them away from the troop of army men who were mind -controlled by the devil to kill the princesses. The voices of the army men followed them, calling out “we’re going to get you.” The six of the man chased them through the forest. Elena and Ellie followed Luis through the tree. Behind Ellie and Elena the six men surrounded them. Luis restrained them with his left arm and drew his sword, getting ready to fight, so they were protected. Elena did the same she drew her sword and held it above her head, there was a clash of swards as they fought the army men and beat them off. “Let’s go girls no time to waste.” “We need to go find a place to sleep for the night.’’ Ellie saw a cave. They went into it to see if they could sleep in it. “This seems like a good enough place to sleep,” Elena suggested. “Luis agreed. Next morning Ellie woke up in a panicking reaction. ”Elena wake up! Luis is gone, what are we going to do now!” Ellie Shouted. ”Calm down, everything will be ok. I won’t let anything happen to you ok? He might be somewhere around here we just need to wait for him to come back.” Elena gave Ellie a big hug. Luis appeared. “Good morning girls.’’ He had bunches of fruit in his hands. “This is all I could find for now. Ellie ran towards and gave him a hug. “Wow! I am here now” said Luis. ‘’Never leave us alone like that again ok! I...I...I thought you were gone.” Elena was crying with happiness to see Luis again. Luis gave Ellie a hug to make her feel safe again; he could see how strong Elena was. She didn’t complain about anything. She stood there and felt sorry for her sister. She felt that her sister needed more attention and that she needed to feel safe. Luis’s eye meets Elena’s eyes telling her not to worry and he will make sure that Ellie felt safe and protected. “Sorry Ellie next time I’ll be more careful, I’ll make sure you know where I’m going and I won’t leave you like that again.” “You promise?’’ “I Promise, Ok let’s eat, we need to get going before someone else sees us. The longer we stay the more risk’s we will get”. After breakfast they started their journey it was a fine morning and it was a long day. Ellie started to get really tired. ”Luis...can we please have a brake, I’m so tired.” “Ok Ellie just for a while ok’’ “We must hurry. The army could catch up to us if we don’t hurry up.” Said Elena. They both sat down and Luis was watching out for the army. “We should get moving now” said Luis. “Ok. Let’s go.” They both jumped up and dusted themselves. Luis led them into the forest so their harder to spot. ‘STOMP, STOMP, STOMP’ “they are catching up to us Come on hurry up.” Elena was Worried. “Hey! You lot stop right there.” The man said. “What do we do now? It’s a dead end.” Ellie Yelled. “Don't worry.” Said Elena and hugged her sister. “There's to path ways. Luis takes care of Ellie while I distract the army men.” She gave her sister one last hug. “Be brave Ellie. I’ll find you later and all ways stick with Luis. If I don’t find you two I’ll keep looking for you. Be strong and trust yourself.” “No! Don’t go Elena.” “I have to. It’s for your own good. Find your master with Luis and train good.” “Nooooooo!” “Don't worry about Ellie ,I’ll take good care of her.” “Ok Luis I trust you.” They both ran out to the different paths. “Which one do we follow boss?” “The young one won’t do any good. Follow the elder one.” “Eye Eye boss.” “Were not pirate’s you egg head.” “Sorry boss.” So the army men followed Elena as she ran as fast as the wi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A deeply reported, razor smart, up-close account of the Great Drug War . . . Absolutely courageous in its fairness and search for answers.” —William Booth, Washington Post Bureau Chief for Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean The city of Juárez is ground zero for the drug war that is raging across Mexico and has claimed close to 60,000 lives since 2007. Almost a quarter of the federal forces that former President Felipe Calderón deployed in the war were sent to Juárez, and nearly twenty percent of the country’s drug-related executions have taken place in the city, a city that can be as unforgiving as the hardest places on earth. It is here that the Mexican government came to turn the tide. Whatever happens in Juárez will have lasting repercussions for both Mexico and the United States. Ricardo Ainslie went to Juárez to try to understand what was taking place behind the headlines of cartel executions and other acts of horrific brutality. In The Fight to Save Juárez, he takes us into the heart of Mexico’s bloodiest city through the lives of four people who experienced the drug war from very different perspectives—Mayor José Reyes Ferriz, a mid-level cartel player’s mistress, a human rights activist, and a photojournalist. Ainslie also interviewed top Mexican government strategists, including members of Calderón’s security cabinet, as well as individuals within US law enforcement. The dual perspective of life on the ground in the drug war and the “big picture” views of officials who are responsible for the war’s strategy, creates a powerful, intimate portrait of an embattled city, its people, and the efforts to rescue Juárez from the abyss.

Three things that Elena swore she’d never fall for again, but that’s exactly what happens when she meets Dimitri Razin on an international flight leaving Moscow.

Dimitri is dangerous, and not just to her heart. The man is lethal and carries a past as heavy as her own.

Book excerpt: This book fills a significant gap in the critical conversation on race in media by extending interrogations of racial colorblindness in American television to the industrial practices that shape what we see on screen. Specifically, it frames the practice of colorblind casting as a potent lens for examining the interdependence of 21st century post-racial politics and popular culture. Applying a ‘production as culture’ approach to a series of casting case studies from American primetime dramatic television, including ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and The CW’s The Vampire Diaries, Kristen Warner complicates our understanding of the cultural processes that inform casting and expounds the aesthetic and pragmatic industrial viewpoints that perpetuate limiting or downright exclusionary hiring norms. She also examines the material effects of actors of color who knowingly participate in this system and justify their limited roles as a consequence of employment, and finally speculates on what alternatives, if any, are available to correct these practices. Warner’s insights are a valuable addition to scholarship in media industry studies, critical race theory, ethnic studies, and audience reception, and will also appeal to those with a general interest in race in popular culture.
