Ghostly Alterities. Spectrality and Contemporary Literatures in English

By: Bianca DelVillano

Ghostly Alterities analyses the meaning of ghostliness in contemporary Anglophone novels – Patricia Grace’s Baby No-Eyes (1998), Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987), J. M. Coetzee’s Foe (1986), Vivienne Cleven’s Her Sister’s Eye (2002), Ben Okri’s The Famished Road (1991), Pat Barker’s The Ghost Road (1995) – in which the figure of the ghost is often entrusted with the task of questioning Western culture and history. After an introductory chapter which investigates Freud’s concept of the uncanny along with theoretical issues raised by Iain Chambers and Jacques Derrida, Ghostly Alterities discusses the novels from different critical orientations (postcolonialism, poststructuralism and psychoanalysis), presenting ghostliness as intersecting with three major themes: the problem of the spectre’s visibility and “bodily” nature; the particular melancholic state of mind the ghost can trigger which brings about a very special kind of (g)hospitality; the spectral nature of history and its relationship with the characters’ personal memory.

Line Brawl

The Dartmouth Cobras #8

By: Bianca Sommerland

Not all fights are one on one. In a team, no man should stand alone. ‘You can’t keep me.’ Shawn ‘Easy’ Pischlar has given his speech so often, it should be written on the white board in the Dartmouth Cobra’s locker room. Too many of his own teammates have heard the words. And the games he’s played are finally catching up to him. To hang on to his freedom, Shawn gave up on ever having someone to call his own. A young woman who expects nothing from him slips into his life and has him ready to toss the rulebook. While the man he loves tempts him to burn it. Keeping them both would be easy, only…caring about them isn’t. Because when he lets himself care, he remembers why he wrote the rules in the first place. Every lover, from the casual, to those who steal a piece of his heart, shouldn’t expect more than pleasure. More than passion. Playing the game, on and off the ice, is his whole world. One he isn’t ready to change. Except, life doesn’t stop for the game. And when old scars are ripped open, and he’s left bloody and beaten, the rules won’t help him put the pieces of his life back together. To win this fight, he’ll have to break each and every one.

Reclaiming Community

Race and the Uncertain Future of Youth Work

Reclaiming Community

Race and the Uncertain Future of Youth Work

By: Bianca J. Baldridge

Approximately 2.4 million Black youth participate in after-school programs, which offer a range of support, including academic tutoring, college preparation, political identity development, cultural and emotional support, and even a space to develop strategies and tools for organizing and activism. In Reclaiming Community, Bianca Baldridge tells the story of one such community-based program, Educational Excellence (EE), shining a light on both the invaluable role youth workers play in these spaces, and the precarious context in which such programs now exist. Drawing on rich ethnographic data, Baldridge persuasively argues that the story of EE is representative of a much larger and understudied phenomenon. With the spread of neoliberal ideology and its reliance on racism—marked by individualism, market competition, and privatization—these bastions of community support are losing the autonomy that has allowed them to embolden the minds of the youth they serve. Baldridge captures the stories of loss and resistance within this context of immense external political pressure, arguing powerfully for the damage caused when the same structural violence that Black youth experience in school, starts to occur in the places they go to escape it.

On the Front Lines of the Left’s War on Truth

By: Bianca de la Garza

“Bianca de la Garza is a seasoned pro in speaking truth to power as a respected and authentic journalist. She always ‘comes to the game’ prepared and professional. Her new book takes on the bias and dishonesty of what poses as ‘news’ by dissecting how and why today’s mainstream media has become ‘fake news’ by trying to change the story rather than just reporting the story. I always enjoy repartee with Bianca because I know she’ll be fair, but tough. You’ll love her book. You’ll love her.” —Governor Mike Huckabee, Fmr. Presidential Candidate, Arkansas Governor, and Host of Huckabee Cable news TV anchor Bianca De La Garza reports the news every day, twice a day. She’s a journalist and a commentator, a conservative, a Christian, and a mom. The news is ugly, frightening, violent, insane, and relentless. Those in power are corrupt. The corporate media is corrupt. Corporate America is corrupt. Every day there is reason to despair. Yet every day there is also reason to hope. As Bianca reports daily and writes in this book, the foundation of America is stronger than the evil that attacks her every day. Conservative Americans must face this evil head on, and not back down. Conservative Americans hold tight to their families, faith, and values, and know that they have the power to rise from the insane policies and propaganda that have created crime, inflation, indoctrination of American children, and open borders. The right is right, and every day more people are waking up to that truth, and realizing that the radical Left is wrong and must be stopped. Everything we hold dear depends on it. “Bianca is the person the mainstream media fears the most: a competent journalist who reports facts and doesn’t play the role of an activist on air. Her book is an insider account of how the America dream is still alive and well, she’s living proof of that, and I encourage everyone to grab their copy!” —Brilyn Hollyhand, RNC Youth Advisory Council Chair and Author “Bianca de la Garza is one of America’s leading anchors and most successful journalists worldwide. As a truth teller and an avid researcher for the deep end of stories, she is known in US media as an accurate, balanced, and investigative media specialist, not only on set but also as an uber influencer and an opinion maker. Bianca has shown in her powerful career that she is the product of the American dream. I have observed her work for years and consider her the best leader in high level conversations. I strongly recommend her new book to acquire another advanced insight on the mechanisms and values inside the world of American media. Get the book!” —Dr. Walid Phares, Foreign Policy Expert and Author “Bianca de la Garza has long been a dynamic force in broadcasting, and her new book is no exception. Drawing on her extensive experience as a show host and journalist, she brings a unique perspective that is both thought-provoking and deeply relevant. Bianca’s insight into the world of news and current events is as sharp as it is engaging, making this book a must-read for anyone looking to better understand the times we live in. Her ability to connect with audiences shines through every page, delivering a compelling narrative that is both informative and inspiring.” —Matthew Whitaker, Former Acting United States Attorney General; Senior Fellow, American Cornerstone Institute

Hum If You Don't Know the Words

By: Bianca Marais

Perfect for readers of The Secret Life of Bees and The Help, a perceptive and searing look at Apartheid-era South Africa, told through one unique family brought together by tragedy. Life under Apartheid has created a secure future for Robin Conrad, a ten-year-old white girl living with her parents in 1970s Johannesburg. In the same nation but worlds apart, Beauty Mbali, a Xhosa woman in a rural village in the Bantu homeland of the Transkei, struggles to raise her children alone after her husband's death. Both lives have been built upon the division of race, and their meeting should never have occurred...until the Soweto Uprising, in which a protest by black students ignites racial conflict, alters the fault lines on which their society is built, and shatters their worlds when Robin’s parents are left dead and Beauty’s daughter goes missing. After Robin is sent to live with her loving but irresponsible aunt, Beauty is hired to care for Robin while continuing the search for her daughter. In Beauty, Robin finds the security and family that she craves, and the two forge an inextricable bond through their deep personal losses. But Robin knows that if Beauty finds her daughter, Robin could lose her new caretaker forever, so she makes a desperate decision with devastating consequences. Her quest to make amends and find redemption is a journey of self-discovery in which she learns the harsh truths of the society that once promised her protection. Told through Beauty and Robin's alternating perspectives, the interwoven narratives create a rich and complex tapestry of the emotions and tensions at the heart of Apartheid-era South Africa. Hum If You Don’t Know the Words is a beautifully rendered look at loss, racism, and the creation of family.

Market Encounters

Consumer Cultures in Twentieth-Century Ghana

By: Bianca Murillo

In Market Encounters, Bianca Murillo explores the shifting social terrains that made the buying and selling of goods in modern Ghana possible. Fusing economic and business history with social and cultural history, she traces the evolution of consumerism in the colonial Gold Coast and independent Ghana from the late nineteenth century through to the political turmoil of the 1970s. Murillo brings sales clerks, market women, and everyday consumers in Ghana to the center of a story that is all too often told in sweeping metanarratives about what happens when African businesses are incorporated into global markets. By emphasizing the centrality of human relationships to Ghana’s economic past, Murillo introduces a radical rethinking of consumption studies from an Africa-centered perspective. The result is a keen look at colonial capitalism in all of its intricacies, legacies, and contradictions, including its entanglement with gender and race.

Can't Hide From Love

By: Bianca

Trenae is just a regular, kind-hearted, innocent girl from Houston, TX., with three rowdy friends: Ebony, Tameka, and Nikki who all love Trenae like a sister and will go to war with the devil himself just to protect her. That devil just so happens to be Trenae’s boyfriend of two years, Silas Jackson. Trenae is head over heels in love with Silas, but he only uses her for money while he turns to other women for his sexual needs, since Trenae doesn’t plan to give up the goods anytime soon. Blinded by Silas’s fake love for her, Trenae can’t see Silas doing any wrong in her eyes. When she meets Nahlij, Trenae just maybe forced to open her eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. Life for Nahlij has been one disappointment after the other. At the age of five, his mother abandons him, leaving his father to take on the responsibility of being a single father. On the night of his 15th birthday, Nahlij witnesses his dad be murdered in cold blood by a crooked cop who had a gambling habit. “Don’t let them get away with this shit,” were the last words his father spoke before he took his last breath, and Nahlij vowed to make the officer pay for the death of his father. Now at the ripe age of 30, Nahlij is an undercover killer, trained by his foster parents. Still heart broken and hurt by the abandonment of his mother, Nahlij has vowed to never love a woman out of fear that he’ll be left again. When he’s assigned to a mission in Tallahassee, Fla., Nahlij just may push his ‘no love’ persona to the back of his mind when he meets the beautiful Trenae Wallace. They say what happens in Rome, stays in Rome, but will that hold true for Nahlij and Trenae? Can one night with Nahlij make Trenae forget about Silas? Can Trenae make Nahlij forget about his vow to never love a woman and make him fall for her? Can’t Hide From Love will leave you on the edge of your seat, begging for more. The plots and twists of love and betrayal will leave you obsessed and possibly make you question...Who the hell can you really trust?

Fire Music

By: Bianca VanOrden

Fire Music is an American war and peace novel of the World War II era — written to create for those who weren’t there what it was really like, back then, when Pearl Harbor was bombed and Hitler declared war on us. “Really like,” you were young and madly in love and your happy world was suddenly threatened with total destruction. Startled, you saw yourself sitting in a velvet-lined opera box watching through opera glasses destruction already in progress across the Atlantic Ocean. The shows were called “Dismemberment of Europe” and “Fall of France.” Fire Music is what happened then to Americans — what they did and how they did it; who struggled and made a difference and survived; who struggled and made a difference and did not survive.

Revisiting State Personhood and World Politics

Revisiting State Personhood and World Politics

Identity, Personality and the IR Subject

By: Bianca Naude

Breathing fresh air into debates surrounding foreign policy and interstate relations, Bianca Naude presents a holistic theory of states as collectives of people that cannot be reduced to their individual constituents. Moving among current research on the ontological status of the state alongside important arguments in support of the state personhood thesis, Naude begins by exploring Freud’s personality theory and the ways in which this theory has evolved over time in response to newer insights from the field of experimental psychology. Recognizing that Freud’s work is in many ways outdated, she considers more recent literature on narcissism as an aspect of self-esteem rather than a form of psychopathology, drawing specifically on Kohut’s expansion of the concept of narcissism as a normal feature of personality development. Using the South African state as a case study, Naude demonstrates the various ways in which the state presents itself to the outside world on the one hand, and how it wishes to see itself on the other. She further considers how narcissistic defenses help protect the state's ego from criticism and self-judgments. Revisiting State Personhood and World Politics will help readers understand how the state sees itself, why or when the state experiences shame, humiliation, guilt or pride, and how it responds to these self-conscious emotions. It will be a valuable resource to researchers and students of International Relations.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Black Women, Diasporic Dreams, and the Politics of Emotional Transnationalism

By: Bianca C. Williams

In The Pursuit of Happiness Bianca C. Williams traces the experiences of African American women as they travel to Jamaica, where they address the perils and disappointments of American racism by looking for intimacy, happiness, and a connection to their racial identities. Through their encounters with Jamaican online communities and their participation in trips organized by Girlfriend Tours International, the women construct notions of racial, sexual, and emotional belonging by forming relationships with Jamaican men and other "girlfriends." These relationships allow the women to exercise agency and find happiness in ways that resist the damaging intersections of racism and patriarchy in the United States. However, while the women require a spiritual and virtual connection to Jamaica in order to live happily in the United States, their notion of happiness relies on travel, which requires leveraging their national privilege as American citizens. Williams's theorization of "emotional transnationalism" and the construction of affect across diasporic distance attends to the connections between race, gender, and affect while highlighting how affective relationships mark nationalized and gendered power differentials within the African diaspora.

A Malice Love

By: Bianca

Kambridge Lewis is the definition of a smart girl; valedictorian of the best private school in the state, graduated Magna Cum Laude from college, and owns her own store at the age of twenty-two. Even after all of that, it seems like it’s not enough for Judge Kason Lewis, her father. The relationship between Kam and her father is the reason why she is confused on what love really is, since he beats her down mentally and physically...that is until she meets the foul mouth Malice Bailey. Phoenix ‘Malice’ Bailey is the youngest of the two Bailey brothers, who wants to make his own living, his own way, instead of the way his dad wants him to...the drug game. Malice had to put himself through school using money that he gets from his special service, and his good friend, Catherine Jenson. To them, Malice and Kam met by chance, but their fathers saw opportunity to ignite an old beef between the two. Using both of their kids in a dangerous feud can only lead to one thing for these two: love or death. Kam and Malice being friends comes with a lot of secrets, including two big ones: Kam’s boyfriend, Connor Wiles, and Malice’s good friend, who wants to be more than a good friend. In A Malice Love, you find out the lengths people go for love, respect, and money.

Intrigued by artists who hyperventilate around their favorite colors and art fiends who max out credit cards to show hunks of metal they think can change the world, Bosker grew fixated on understanding why art matters and how she—or any of us—could engage with it more deeply. In Get the Picture, Bosker throws herself into the nerve center of art and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators, and, of course, artists themselves—the kind who work multiple jobs to afford their studios while scrabbling to get eyes on their art. As she stretches canvases until her fingers blister, talks her way into A-list parties full of billionaire collectors, has her face sat on by a nearly-naked performance artist, and forces herself to stare at a single sculpture for hours on end while working as a museum security guard, she discovers not only the inner workings of the art-canonization machine but also a more expansive way of living. Probing everything from cave paintings to Instagram, and from the science of sight to the importance of beauty as it examines art’s role in our culture, our economy, and our hearts, Get the Picture is a rollicking adventure that will change the way you see forever.

Cork Dork

A Wine-Fueled Adventure Among the Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, and Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me to Live for Taste

By: Bianca Bosker

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS' PICK “Thrilling . . . [told] with gonzo élan . . . When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer.” —Jennifer Senior, The New York Times Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn’t know much about wine—until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to uncover what drove their obsession, and whether she, too, could become a “cork dork.” With boundless curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Bosker takes the reader inside underground tasting groups, exclusive New York City restaurants, California mass-market wine factories, and even a neuroscientist’s fMRI machine as she attempts to answer the most nagging question of all: what’s the big deal about wine? What she learns will change the way you drink wine—and, perhaps, the way you live—forever. “Think: Eat, Pray, Love meets Somm.” —theSkimm “As informative as it is, well, intoxicating.” —Fortune

Killer in the Shadows

By: Bianca Ponte

Killer in the Shadows is the story of a young man wrongly accused of murder. It is a travesty of justice when and innocent man is sent to prison. He had to endure the horrors of life on Death Row, while the real killer got away with murder. It all started the summer of 1984, in Miami Dade County, in a business district, off 68th. Street in West Hialeah. The sound of gunfire disrupted the stillness of the night... When it was over, one man laid dead, another one, critically injured, and the third one, was arrested and charged with the crimes. It was the prelude of the ordeal to come for the accused young man. A web of lies, jealousy, hate and revenge was weaved around him, with the purpose of incriminate him and separate him from the woman he loved. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to die in Floridas electric chair, on the testimony of an unscrupulous eyewitness, who was lying, with the complicity of the prosecutorfor personal gains... The other two witnesses to the crime couldnt testify on his behalf... The young man sat on Death Row many years, hoping and praying that the truth would prevail and hed be exonerated. Throughout those desperate times, plagued by a horrendous nightmare, living waiting to die... he was sustained by the love of his family and friends. They stood by him, unconditionally, believing in his innocenceamong them the wife of the murdered man and a whistling ghost, who gave him hope in his worse moments of hopelessness. But most of all by the three courageous men, who never gave up on him: his lawyer, who kept halting the state from executing him... the detective, who kept looking for the killer in the shadows... and the priest, who kept praying for a miracle. Six year later, the young man became despondent. Every appeal was denied, the evidence that surfaced turned out to be a dead end and the only witness left was about to die... Under those circumstances, he decided to end it allthere was nothing more they could do for him. He was ready to face his fate.... He was doing it for his family and friendshe wanted to set them free from their suffering... Once he was gone, they could go on with their lives and he would only be a sad memory. A date was set for his execution... In the midst of all this, a woman from his past, came into the picture. She teamed up with the priest and his wife and together they were going to right the wrongs people do. Faith, courage and perseverance set the stage for a confrontation that had started three decades ago in another country... That event tore two families apart and changed their lives, drastically. Now, it was time for the final struggle: the war between the forces of good and evil... The outcome would determine if the young man lived or died... and it would reveal the truth behind a great deceit.

Towards a Mathematical Theory of Complex Biological Systems

By: Carlo Bianca,Concetta Bianca,N. Bellomo

This monograph has the ambitious aim of developing a mathematical theory of complex biological systems with special attention to the phenomena of ageing, degeneration and repair of biological tissues under individual self-repair actions that may have good potential in medical therapy. The approach to mathematically modeling biological systems needs to tackle the additional difficulties generated by the peculiarities of living matter. These include the lack of invariance principles, abilities to express strategies for individual fitness, heterogeneous behaviors, competition up to proliferative and/or destructive actions, mutations, learning ability, evolution and many others. Applied mathematicians in the field of living systems, especially biological systems, will appreciate the special class of integro-differential equations offered here for modeling at the molecular, celular and tissue scales. A unique perspective is also presented with a number of case studies in biological modeling.

The Changing Migrant Composition of Australia’s Population

Past, Present and Future

By: Tom Wilson,Jeromey Temple,Peter McDonald,Ariane Utomo,Bianca Brijnath

This book looks at how Australia's migrant population composition is likely to change over coming decades. The book divides Australia's population into 48 countries of birth groupings and projects the birthplace populations out to 2066 according to the range of scenarios. These projections indicate a massive shift in Australia’s migrant composition from a European to an Asian-dominated population over the coming decades—a change which can be interpreted as a third demographic transition. By providing detailed consideration of the implications of the changing population composition, this book is a great resource for academics, government and private sector services.

Lion in Waiting

By: Bianca D'Arc

Two injured shifters get a second chance at life…and love. Matilda escaped into the wild to lick her wounds and heal as best she can from captivity and torture at the hands of people who hunt shifters and imprison them. She is a lioness, but her natural confidence has been shaken by the experience. What she needs is a second chance to live, to heal, and to find her lioness’s roar once more. Georgio is a bear of a man who has seen and done things in foreign lands that have changed him forever. It takes a lot to harm a shifter of his strength, but being blown up by an Improvised Explosive Device just about did the job. He is looking for his lost sense of purpose, and something drives him to keep looking for the lost lioness when everyone else gives up. When these two heart-wounded shifters finally meet, it’s just possible they will find their second chances start with each other. But the hunters are still hunting Matilda and they’re going after her only human friend to try to recapture her. Surprises, secrets, and reclusive billionaires notwithstanding, the bear and the lioness will have to come to terms with their sizzling attraction, and bruised hearts, if they’re going to forge a new future together.
