Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada, Australia and New Zealand inherited and adapted a monarchical framework of government, even in the absence of a resident monarch. Although steady transfer of the royal prerogative to a popularly elected executive has enabled these three former dominions to be sometimes described as "crowned republics" or "disguised republics", there was no popular drive to abandon monarchy until the 1990s, and even then the republican cause was based largely on issues of symbolism and national identity than on perceived core weaknesses in the political system. This book traces the long and sometimes subtle process of localising monarchy in the vice-regal office from the mid-twentieth century onwards, and compares the powers and functions of the Queen's surrogates with each other and with those of the monarch herself, including their recourse to the so-called "reserve powers". Among the key questions posed in this comparative study are: Can the current monarchical system be refined to the point of countering republican sentiment? Why has the republican argument gained more momentum in Australia than in Canada or New Zealand? Can a republican model retain residual monarchic elements? What is likely to be the lasting legacy of the Crown in these three strikingly similar political cultures? The author's underlying loyalties are neither firmly monarchist nor firmly republican. He is convinced, however, that the combined effects of a strong sense of national identity and an increasingly presidential style of political leadership within these three Westminster-derived systems make it difficult for contemporary governors-general (or their state and provincial colleagues)to fulfil two of their key roles-to unite and inspire the people on the one hand and to be a credible constitutional watchdog on the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly original and much-anticipated ethnography, Anna Tsing challenges not only anthropologists and feminists but all those who study culture to reconsider some of their dearest assumptions. By choosing to locate her study among Meratus Dayaks, a marginal and marginalized group in the deep rainforest of South Kalimantan, Indonesia, Tsing deliberately sets into motion the familiar and stubborn urban fantasies of self and other. Unusual encounters with her remarkably creative and unconventional Meratus friends and teachers, however, provide the opportunity to rethink notions of tradition, community, culture, power, and gender--and the doing of anthropology. Tsing's masterful weaving of ethnography and theory, as well as her humor and lucidity, allow for an extraordinary reading experience for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the complexities of culture. Engaging Meratus in wider conversations involving Indonesian bureaucrats, family planners, experts in international development, Javanese soldiers, American and French feminists, Asian-Americans, right-to-life advocates, and Western intellectuals, Tsing looks not for consensus and coherence in Meratus culture but rather allows individual Meratus men and women to return our gaze. Bearing the fruit from the lively contemporary conversations between anthropology and cultural studies, In the Realm of the Diamond Queen will prove to be a model for thinking and writing about gender, power, and the politics of identity.

Book excerpt: 'You think you are someone named Kim, but you're not...You are the lost Princess Ashquin.' The words tumbled from the lips of a woman the like of which Kim had never seen. Living as an orphan for seventeen years, she knew nothing of the kingdom of Keolia until she literally fell into it. Miraculously transported to another time and place, Kim must embark on a journey to find her family's home—and find out who she really is. It will prove to be the most harrowing event of her life. Accompanied by the blue hunter, Klee, Kim journeys through a forest peopled only by the young, a town occupied by the most loquacious beings, and through a series of caves and mountains rife with terrifying creatures of all shapes and sizes. Pursued at all times by the shape shifting harbingers of chaos known as Bedwingers, Kim and Klee must be ever on their guard while uncovering the details of Kim's past and finding their way to the castle that is her home. Through the help of their fellows and with a little luck, Kim and Klee will out run their enemies and overcome old prejudices—and maybe discover love along the way. Join the two adventurers as they discover what lies ahead on the path to Life's Other Realm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand is a democratic constitutional monarchy, one of Queen Elizabeth II's sixteen realms. This book provides a comprehensive account of how the Queen, the Governor-General and the Crown interact with our democratically-elected leaders under New Zealand's unwritten constitution.The authors explain how these islands in the South Pacific were first brought within Queen Victoria's dominions, the arrangements then made for their future government, and how those arrangements developed over time with the pressure for democracy and responsible government to become New Zealand's current constitution. They discuss the responsibilities of, and interactions between, the key office-holders: the Sovereign herself; her representative, the Governor-General; the impersonal and perpetual Crown, and the Prime Minister, other Ministers and Members of Parliament. All of them affect in some way the government which runs the country day to day. In an afterword, the authors examine some of the key issues to be considered should New Zealand become a republic.The parliamentary democracy that we take for granted can conceal New Zealand's ultimate constitutional underpinnings in the monarchy. But, as the authors make clear, the monarchy's continuing role in New Zealand's constitution is significant. And understanding the roles of the Queen, the Governor-General and the Crown will be critical as we look forward to debates about the possibility of a republic in New Zealand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversial Netflix series The Crown covers the tumultuous period from the Queen’s accession in 1952 to the present day, and so does this book, which explores the rise, decline and—to some—unexpected rebound of the historic UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand alliance. While a post-Brexit and post-Elizabethan Britain seeks a new role in today’s volatile world, its traditional partner countries also recognise the logic of reinvigorating their relationship, based on a multitude of still-strong cultural, economic, political, and military ties, including the monarchy as a uniquely shared global, and not merely British, institution. But this wasn’t always the case. Although in the 1950s commentators spoke of a new "Elizabethan Age" with much postwar hope across the Commonwealth, that optimism quickly faded. By the 1970s, many thought Britain washed up and that Crown and Commonwealth ties and allegiance were becoming obsolete. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the four countries increasingly went their separate ways. So, a groggy time-traveller from that period appearing in London, Toronto, Sydney, or Auckland today would be taken by surprise by the durability of the Crown, even as it has passed to King Charles, and the growing reconvergence of the four "CANZUK" realms in terms of trade, defence, foreign policy coordination, freedom of movement, mutual recognition of professional qualifications, and other new or revived links. This book evocatively tells the whole story of where we are, what’s possible for the future, and not least how we got here. In today’s age of global instability and raw power politics, this renewed Anglosphere Crown Commonwealth alliance is more important and relevant than ever.

Book excerpt: Connor MacNessa has fallen in love with Alexandra, an artist he met through an unusual set of circumstances. She is unlike any girl he has ever known before, but there is one element in particular which sets her apart from all others: Alexandra comes from a race of supernatural beings—the Sídhe, immortals who long ago were once rulers of ancient Ireland, but upon their defeat in battle were forced to retreat to the Otherworld, where they made for themselves a new kingdom. On the cusp of the seasons, when the veil between their world and this one is at its thinnest, the Sídhe return here, to their previous home, sometimes to leave amongst the humans one of their own—a changeling babe. Alexandra is such a one, with exceptional qualities which, though subtle, are peculiar enough to mark her as one "who has fairy blood". She and Connor are soul mates, but a grim foretelling of Alexandra's destiny which had been made at her cradle casts an ominous shadow over her life, and now over her newfound contentment. For Alexandra knows that one day soon the Sídhe will reclaim her, a prospect which fills her with dread. There is an urgent and imperative purpose for which the Sídhe have need of her, impressed upon her in dreams throughout her childhood. But what exactly this expectation is, Alexandra cannot fathom. She only knows that her time in this, The Other Realm, as the Sídhe call this world, is not for long, and that there is nothing she can do to alter her fate. The Other Realm is a contemporary tale with a strong essence of the ancient Celtic myths, one which has all the elements of love and mystery and adventure-but with a sensual, magical twist.
