Unicorn Magic: Quickhoof and the Golden Cup

'Herman Rapaport is a strongly inventive, active reader of Derrida's writings, both the more recent and those one may have thought were assimilated years ago (but think again!). Bringing to its task sharp critical tools, Later Derrida proposes insightful interpretations of Derrida's latest work in the domain of politics and ethics. In the process, it challenges some of the most entrenched ideas about deconstruction.' - Peggy Kamuf
'The book's principal success has been to hold open the space for the arrival of an unprecendented event on the "hither side of deconstruction," to stray from the point, to err in repeating that which came before and to continue to question "what could take place tomorrow."' - Partial Answers, Journal of Literature and The History of Ideas
'An important aim of the collection ... is to "stress Derrida's relevance in terms of cultural studies" ... He succeeds in doing this in the most rigorous and original way.' - Critical and Cultural Theory

Mounting Fears

"…if you are wanting detail about the physiological mechanisms behind commonly encountered clinical tests then this is well worth a read…"—Anthony Starr, Junior Practitioner, Cumbria, UK
"What makes this book particularly unique and potentially attractive to technically oriented clinicians is the number of chapters organized by medical subspecialty as opposed to simply by organ systems. … this book offers a well-organized and expanded treatment of virtually all of the common and specialty physiological measurements currently available. It should also serve as a good primer for those relatively new to the field."—Biomedical Instrumentation & Technology, May/June 2015

"This book is a fascinating tapestry of different perspectives facing the common challenge of transforming organizations. These are exactly the types of differing worldviews that characterize most management teams. When the differences are honored, synergies can develop . . . .You will find yourself drawn in, taking sides, agreeing strongly with one and disagreeing strongly with the other. You will then discover that what you are really finding out about is yourself: The author's passions evoke your own. You are a party to the conversation. The circle of reflection is expanding." --From the Foreword by Peter Senge

"The Genocide Studies Reader is a very useful introduction to themany acts of genocide all over the worldas well as to thegenocide studies field in general. Analyzing legal andsociological definitions and discussions, this book is an essential synthesis of the works produced in English on the subject."
—Dr. Daniel Feierstein, Director, Center of Genocide Studies, Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero, República Argentina

"This reader provides an excellent introduction to the field of genocide studies. Ranging far and wide, the volume includes foundational essays and covers key topics such as issues of definition, sexual violence, prevention, legal redress, intervention, and denial. It is a great resource both for classroom use and for scholars, students, and anyone interested in genocide."
—Alex Hinton, Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights, Rutgers, Newark

"It is no longer the historical occurrence of genocide that preoccupies social scientists, rather its disturbing recurrence in recent times despite the international conventions drawn up to protect human rights. To address this new reality, this instructive reader on the subject of genocide goes beyond the challenges of definition, theory, and history, and looks at the promise of intervention, prosecution, and prevention. All aspects of the problem of genocide are explored with particular attention to the issue of sovereignty and adjudication in the face of the hurdles of the claims of immunity and denials of responsibility. This collection of authoritative voices addressing this most serious crime against humanity brings new focus to the conflict between national and international interests and between standards of legality and the claims of state authority, and underscores no less the importance of studying the problem as much as developing the instruments to restrain mass violence."
—Dr. Rouben Adalian, Director, Armenian National Institute
"This is a truly excellent collection of readings and an important addition to the field of genocide studies. I very much look forward to using it with my students and thus giving them an additional opportunity to expand their knowledge of the field. Professors Totten and Bartrop are to be commended for putting together such an insightful and valuable collection of readings. Well done!"
—Steven Jacobs, The University of Alabama

“…a fascinating account of spirit possession in Zanzibar…[that] contributes to and sheds new light on debates on ethnicity, identity, and gender… Its particular value lies in its excellent ethnographic data, which demonstrate the author’s deep knowledge of Zanzibari society and its interconnections with the wider world, both ‘East’ and ‘West’, and highlight the value of long-term ethnographic fieldwork.”  ·  JRAI

	“Kjersti Larsen’s book raises significant anthropological questions about much writing on spirit possession in Africa…Larsen’s work makes important and detailed considerations of [the] problem [of  racial identity], perhaps more sensitively than many others.”  ·  Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale

	“…a sensitive and rich portrayal of the phenomenon of spirit possession in Zanzibar Town.”  ·  American Ethnologist

	"[The author] provides a sensitive account of people's experiences of possession and the ways in which they relate to their spirits. It is refreshing to read an account like this in which some of the uncertainties and differences of opinion about spirit possession are highlighted."  ·  Tanzanian Affairs

	"Written as a reflexive and phenomenological account, and organized into nine short chapters, the book traverses theoretical terrain in ways that challenge theories that reduce spirit possession to an effect of social marginality."  ·  Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale

'[This] is a first rate literary study. By using metaphor as the instrument through which it seeks to come to terms with the vexed social and cultural issues it considers, it gives primacy to the distinctive work that literature performs...original and incisive.' - Professor Cheryl A. Wall, Department of English, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

'This study presents a critical argument of the highest importance and offers a timely and intelligently argued intervention into feminist and trauma theory.' - Professor Linda Anderson, Department of English, Literature and Linguistic Studies, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne
Winner of the Toni Morrison Society's Award for Excellence

'Victoria Burrows offers a refreshing feminist reading of the complex mother daughter relationship as traumatised by racism and gender in three important novels: Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys (1966), Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid (1990) and Toni Morrison's Sula (1973)...In her introduction, Victoria Burrows had asked the readers to participate in the study by creating an image of 'a densely threaded knot, one loosely entangled so that three dimensional spaces are visible between the looped strands' (p. 1), as visual representation of the mother daughter relationship. Such an active reader role makes the reading of Whiteness and Trauma captivating.' - Claudia Capancioni, Journal of Gender Studies

'Illustrating "racialized silencing" and "belated recognition", Burrows provides close readings of three narratives that demonstrate how a repressed memory becomes the source of recurring psychic pain...Readers of these specific works and those researching literary treatments of whiteness and trauma will especially want this title. Summing up: Recommended' - CHOICE
Burrows concludes by discussing Morrison's only short story, 'Recitatif' (1983), whose ending opens the 'interracial lines of dialogue' between the two characters. Burrows successfully frames her text as an attempt to the do the same in the realms of feminist and trauma studies. Burrows's attempt to illuminate the 'masked whiteness of theory' is a worthwhile task...[a] fine study,
which will be of interest to literary scholars of a variety of backgrounds.' - Aili McConnon, Women:A Cultural Review

'She [Burrows] deftly weaves together the myth of Echo with the African American pattern of call and response in a wonderfully evocative reading of Kincaid's Lucy...Burrows's reading of Morrison's Sula is similarly effective' - Patricia Moran, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature
