Gender and Succession in Medieval and Early Modern Islam

Bilateral Descent and the Legacy of Fatima

By: Alyssa Gabbay

In Gender and Succession in Medieval and Early Modern Islam: Bilateral Descent and the Legacy of Fatima, Alyssa Gabbay examines episodes in pre-modern Islamic history in which individuals or societies recognized descent from both men and women. Fatima, daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, features prominently in this study, for her example constituted a striking precedent for acknowledging bilateral descent in both Sunni and Shi'i societies, with all of its ramifications for female inheritance, succession and identity. Covering a broad geographical and chronological swath, Gender and Succession in Medieval and Early Modern Islam presents alternative perspectives to patriarchal narratives, and breaks new ground in its focus upon how people conceived of family structures and bloodlines. In so doing, it builds upon a tradition of studies seeking to dispel monolithic understandings of Islam and Gender.

The Spellbook of Katrina Van Tassel

A Story of Sleepy Hollow

By: Alyssa Palombo

A passionate romance leads to supernatural mystery in this historical thriller based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. When Sleepy Hollow’s new schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, arrives in the spooky little village, Katrina Van Tassel is instantly drawn to him. Through their shared love of books and music, they form a friendship that quickly develops into romance. Ichabod knows he has nothing to offer the wealthy Katrina—unlike her childhood friend-turned-enemy, Brom Van Brunt, who is the suitor Katrina’s father favors. But when romance gives way to passion, Ichabod and Katrina sneak into the woods after dark to be together—all while praying they do not catch sight of Sleepy Hollow’s legendary Headless Horseman. That is, until All Hallows’s Eve, when Ichabod suddenly disappears, leaving Katrina alone and in a perilous position. Enlisting the help of her friend—and rumored witch—Charlotte Jansen, Katrina seeks the truth of Ichabod Crane’s disappearance. What they find forces Katrina to question everything she once knew, and to wonder if the Headless Horseman is perhaps more than just a story after all.

Martin McLean, Middle School Queen

By: Alyssa Zaczek

In this “fun, inspiring, and delightful” debut, a seventh grader finds his voice—and his inner diva—as he navigates friendship, family, first crushes and more (School Library Journal). Seventh-grader Martin McLean has always been surrounded by people who can express themselves. His mother is an artist, his colorful Tío Billy works in theater, and his best friends Carmen and Pickle are outgoing charmers. But Martin can only find the right words when he’s answering a problem at a Mathletes competition—until his tío introduces him to the world of drag. In a swirl of sequins and stilettos, Martin creates his fabulous drag queen alter ego, Lottie León. As Lottie, he is braver than he’s ever been; but as Martin, he doesn’t have the guts to tell anyone outside of his family about her. Not Carmen and Pickle, not his fellow Mathletes, and definitely not Chris, an eighth-grader who gives Martin butterflies. When Martin discovers that his first-ever drag show is the same night as an important Mathletes tournament, he must find a way to pull off both appearances—and channel his inner drag superstar.

Mediating the Past

Gustav Freytag, Progress, and German Historical Identity, 1848-1871

By: Alyssa A. Lonner

As one of the most widely read German authors of the nineteenth century, Gustav Freytag (1816-1895) continues to be associated with the middle class and the progress it enjoyed. Yet while his best-selling novel Soll und Haben (1855) and its lesser-known successor Die verlorene Handschrift (1864) owed their vast commercial success largely to their buoyant message of bourgeois advancement, they simultaneously devote significant attention to elements of traditional German society. In exploring Freytag's dual roles as both a novelist of contemporary middle-class life and a cultural historian, this book uncovers the author's divergent - and ostensibly conflicting - desire both to embrace progress and commemorate the past. Investigating his literary engagement with three central elements of Germany's historical identity - the pervasiveness of folk beliefs, a strong identification with rural life, and the continued presence of the aristocracy - this study shows how Freytag attempts to locate these constituents of pre-industrial Germany in a modern, industrial nation, and in doing so contributes to a historically anchored national identity in which material and political progress coexist with a rich heritage and ancient traditions.

Sovereignty Experiments

Sovereignty Experiments

Korean Migrants and the Building of Borders in Northeast Asia, 1860–1945

By: Alyssa M. Park

Sovereignty Experiments tells the story of how authorities in Korea, Russia, China, and Japan—through diplomatic negotiations, border regulations, legal categorization of subjects and aliens, and cultural policies—competed to control Korean migrants as they suddenly moved abroad by the thousands in the late nineteenth century. Alyssa M. Park argues that Korean migrants were essential to the process of establishing sovereignty across four states because they tested the limits of state power over territory and people in a borderland where authority had been long asserted but not necessarily enforced. Traveling from place to place, Koreans compelled statesmen to take notice of their movement and to experiment with various policies to govern it. Ultimately, states' efforts culminated in drastic measures, including the complete removal of Koreans on the Soviet side. As Park demonstrates, what resulted was the stark border regime that still stands between North Korea, Russia, and China today. Skillfully employing a rich base of archival sources from across the region, Sovereignty Experiments sets forth a new approach to the transnational history of Northeast Asia. By focusing on mobility and governance, Park illuminates why this critical intersection of Asia was contested, divided, and later reimagined as parts of distinct nations and empires. The result is a fresh interpretation of migration, identity, and state making at the crossroads of East Asia and Russia.

The Rise of the Modern Yiddish Theater

The Rise of the Modern Yiddish Theater

By: Alyssa Quint

Jewish Book Award Finalist: “Turns the fascinating life of Avrom Goldfaden into a multi-dimensional history of the Yiddish theater’s formative years.” —Jeffery Veidinger, author of Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire In this book, Alyssa Quint focuses on the early years of the modern Yiddish theater, from roughly 1876 to 1883, through the works of one of its best-known and most colorful figures, Avrom Goldfaden. Goldfaden (né Goldenfaden, 1840-1908) was one of the first playwrights to stage a commercially viable Yiddish-language theater, first in Romania and then in Russia. Goldfaden’s work was rapidly disseminated in print and his plays were performed frequently for Jewish audiences. Sholem Aleichem considered him as a forger of a new language that “breathed the European spirit into our old jargon.” Quint uses Goldfaden’s theatrical works as a way to understand the social life of Jewish theater in Imperial Russia. Through a study of his libretti, she looks at the experiences of Russian Jewish actors, male and female, to explore connections between culture as artistic production and culture in the sense of broader social structures. Quint explores how Jewish actors who played Goldfaden’s work on stage absorbed the theater into their everyday lives. Goldfaden’s theater gives a rich view into the conduct, ideology, religion, and politics of Jews during an important moment in the history of late Imperial Russia.

This is what a Feminist Slut Looks Like; Perspectives on the Slutwalk Movement

By: Alyssa Teekah

In April 2011, a team of five people put together SlutWalk Toronto, a protest responding to slut shaming and victim blaming culture, exemplified by a recent event at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. In the name of campus “safety,” Toronto Police Constable Michael Sanguinetti advised “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order to not be victimized.” The sentiment of those in the over 3000 person crowd that day were shared by folks around the globe — leading to over 200 SlutWalks internationally and the establishment of “SlutWalk” organizing groups. This collection engenders a critical engagement with the global phenomenon of the SlutWalk movement, considering both its strengths and limitations. The chapters take up SlutWalk through a feminist lens (broadly defined) considering SlutWalk as a successful social movement, a site of tremendous controversy, and an ongoing discussion among and between waves of feminists across the life cycle and across the globe. Through poetry, photography, scholarly articles, creative non-fiction, personal essays, the collection seeks to unpack the discursive performance of SlutWalk as well as explore the experiences of people who attended various and diverse SlutWalks marches/protests in North America and Asia.

Slave Revolt on Screen

The Haitian Revolution in Film and Video Games

Slave Revolt on Screen

The Haitian Revolution in Film and Video Games

By: Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall

In Slave Revolt on Screen: The Haitian Revolution in Film and Video Games author Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall analyzes how films and video games from around the world have depicted slave revolt, focusing on the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804). This event, the first successful revolution by enslaved people in modern history, sent shock waves throughout the Atlantic World. Regardless of its historical significance however, this revolution has become less well-known—and appears less often on screen—than most other revolutions; its story, involving enslaved Africans liberating themselves through violence, does not match the suffering-slaves-waiting-for-a-white-hero genre that pervades Hollywood treatments of Black history. Despite Hollywood’s near-silence on this event, some films on the Revolution do exist—from directors in Haiti, the US, France, and elsewhere. Slave Revolt on Screen offers the first-ever comprehensive analysis of Haitian Revolution cinema, including completed films and planned projects that were never made. In addition to studying cinema, this book also breaks ground in examining video games, a pop-culture form long neglected by historians. Sepinwall scrutinizes video game depictions of Haitian slave revolt that appear in games like the Assassin’s Creed series that have reached millions more players than comparable films. In analyzing films and games on the revolution, Slave Revolt on Screen calls attention to the ways that economic legacies of slavery and colonialism warp pop-culture portrayals of the past and leave audiences with distorted understandings.

Fino a qualche giorno prima, era decisa a concentrarsi sui libri, ma dopo aver conosciuto Tex Pratt, il ragazzo più bello e maledetto del campus, non può evitare di pensare a lui. Corteggiata insistentemente dal suo amico Will, spinta a partecipare a ogni party delle confraternite dalla sua compagna di stanza Leah, ovunque vada Amy si ritrova faccia a faccia con Tex. Lui la provoca, la stuzzica in continuazione. Il suo passatempo preferito è giocare con le ragazze della Brown, collezionare avventure da una notte. La gelosia inizia a insinuarsi nel cuore di Amy: capisce di essersi presa una cotta spaventosa per Tex, come quasi ogni ragazza del campus, ma sa anche che è una follia perché con uno come Terence Pratt lei soffrirà soltanto. Così accetta di uscire con Will. Ma Tex non è il tipo che rinuncia a quello che vuole e lui vuole Amy Glover. Tra i due amici della confraternita dei Delta Sigma, ha inizio una lotta senza esclusione di colpi, per conquistare la ragazza che in realtà ha già deciso con chi stare. Amy ha paura dell’amore, a causa di quello che ha passato con Austin, il suo ex ragazzo, ma Tex non mollerà finché lei non sarà sua. EVER COMPLETE SERIES (Serie completa in volume unico) EVER 1 AFTER YOU EVER 2 BEFORE YOU EVER 3 AGAIN YOU EVER 4 OVER YOU EVER 5 ALWAYS YOU Tex non è come appare, un bastardo che ama giocare con i sentimenti delle donne. So che non è così, anche se tutti pensano che io sia soltanto un’illusa a credere di essere qualcosa di speciale per lui. Rimaniamo a scrutarci negli occhi, per infiniti attimi. È lui a parlare per primo. «Perché sei uscita con Will Tucker?» «E tu perché sei uscito con quella ragazza?» ribatto, considerando che anche io sono gelosa. Lui lo sa, oramai è inutile mentire a noi stessi. Mi si avvicina, i suoi occhi non mi sono mai sembrati così blu come in questo momento. Vorrei dirgli quello che provo, che soffro e sto male da morire ogni volta che lo vedo con un’altra, ma non ci riesco. Tex lo capisce. In un attimo mi abbraccia, senza darmi il tempo di reagire. Non mi allontano, amo il calore del suo corpo. La sua bocca raggiunge la mia e ci baciamo. È uno di quei baci che soltanto lui sa dare, che mi fanno quasi svenire. Adesso lo so, è Tex l’unico ragazzo con cui potrei stare, e mi maledico per questo, perché non dovrei neppure avvicinarmi a uno come lui. Ma non posso farne a meno. Mi sono persa dentro i suoi occhi blu dalla prima volta che l’ho visto. Tex Pratt è diventato la mia ossessione.
