Witnessing Sadism in Texts of the American South

Women, Specularity, and the Poetics of Subjectivity

By: Claire Raymond

Looking at works by Carrie Mae Weems, Toni Morrison, Emily Dickinson, Flannery O'Connor, Dorothy Allison, Carson McCullers, and Zora Neale Hurston, Claire Raymond uncovers a pattern of femininity constructed around representations of sadistic violence in American women's literature and photography from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Dickinson's poetry is read through its relationship to the Southern Agrarian critics who championed her work. While the representations of violence found in Carrie Mae Weems's installation From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried, Morrison's Beloved, Dickinson’s poetry, O'Connor's 'A View of the Woods' and 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find,' Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina, McCullers' Ballad of the Sad Café, and Hurston's Mules and Men are diverse in terms of artistic presentation, all allude to or are set in the antebellum and Jim Crow South. In addition, all involve feminine characters whose subjectivity is shaped by the practice of seeing acts of violence inflicted where there can be no effective resistance. While not proposing an equivalence between representing violence in visual images and written text, Raymond does suggest that visual images of violence can be interpreted in context with written evocations of violent imagery. Invoking sadism in its ethical sense of violence enacted on a victim for whom self-defense and recourse of any kind are impossible, Raymond's study is ultimately an exploration of the idea that a femininity constructed by the positioning of feminine characters as witnesses to sadistic acts is a phenomenon distinctly of the American South that is linked to the culture's history of racism.

Anxious Masculinity in the Drama of Arthur Miller and Beyond

By: Claire Gleitman

Anxious Masculinity in the Drama of Arthur Miller and Beyond

Salesmen, Sluggers, and Big Daddies

By: Claire Gleitman

This study examines the anxious male breadwinner as he is incarnated in Arthur Miller's most celebrated plays and as he resurfaces in different guises throughout American drama, from the 1950s to the present. It offers a compelling analysis of gender dynamics – staunchly homosocial, vaguely or overtly misogynistic, anxiously homophobic – and the legacy of this figure in the works of other American dramatists. Throughout, the book argues that the gendered anxieties exhibited by the anxious male breadwinner are the very ones invoked with such success by Donald Trump. Gleitman examines this figure in the plays of Tennessee Williams, later 20th century writers Lorraine Hansberry, David Mamet, August Wilson, and Sam Shepard (who reposition him in more racially and economically marginalized settings), and in the more recent work of Tony Kushner, Paula Vogel, and Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori, who shift their focus to the next generation, which seeks to escape his clutches and forge new, often gleefully queer identities. The final chapter concerns contemporary Black dramatists Suzan-Lori Parks, Jackie Sibblies Drury, and Jeremy O. Harris, whose plays move us from anxious masculinity to anxious whiteness and speak directly to the current moment.

If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home Now

By: Claire LaZebnik

From the well-loved author of Knitting Under the Influence and The Smart One and the Pretty One comes a new novel about a young single mother trying to move out of her family's shadow. Rickie left home a long time ago-so how is it that at the age of twenty-five, she's living with her parents again, and sleeping in the bedroom of her childhood home? At least one thing has changed since high school: She now has a very sweet but frequently challenging son named Noah, who attends the same tony private LA school she herself attended. Rickie fit in fine when she was a student, but now her age and tattoos make her stand out from all the blond Stepford moms, who are desperate to know why someone so young-and so unmarried-has a kid in first grade. Already on the defensive, Rickie goes into full mother-tigress mode when her small and unathletic son tells her that the gym teacher is out to get him. She storms the principal's office, only to discover that Andrew Fulton, the coach, is no dumb jock. As her friendship with Andrew develops, Rickie finds herself questioning her assumptions-about motherhood, being a grown-up, and falling in love.

This best-selling text has been used by countless students, practitioners and researchers as a key reference on child protection issues.

Written by influential academics and practitioners, this updated edition looks at child protection practices in a global context and provides: • The latest research and thinking on the causes and consequences of child abuse, including new insights about the relationship between deprivation, poverty and abuse and neglect • An overview of child protection practices, ranging from the 19th Century to recent policy and practice changes, including the widespread adoption of practice models and attempts to improve the quality of social work services Using examples to highlight key discussions and points, this book will enhance the confidence, knowledge and skills of practitioners, supervisors and managers. “This is an important, varied, well-structured, and interesting academic contribution to the area of child protection, neglect, and child abuse. The authors draw on a range of literature, theories, and the extant evidence-base to present a breadth of chapters, from global perspectives on child abuse, to the history of child abuse, to reflections for the future of child protection work. This book will add value to a wide range of professionals in this important field.” Dr Karen Treisman, Clinical Psychologist, Trainer "This is an important addition to the child abuse and child protection literature. Drawing from a variety of current research carried out by professionals and academics from a range of disciplines, this book will be an excellent companion for students, academics and practitioners working in this challenging but important area of work.“ Dr Elena Martellozzo, Online child protection expert. Middlesex University, UK “This is a comprehensive text which explores the legislative, cultural and historic context in which today’s child protection has been shaped. Building on previous editions, it provides a valuable and up-to-date insight into contemporary child protection practice.” Rebecca Avery, Education Safeguarding Advisor (Online Protection), The Education People “How did we get to where we are in our response to child abuse – and what might the future hold? This book provides a timely, comprehensive and thoughtful response to this question; demonstrating the importance of understanding our journey to present day practices if we are to improve the protection of children in the future. Integrating historical, sociological, psychological and biological perspectives, and grappling with the ethical as well as practical challenges of child abuse responses, the authors provide us with an overview upon which we must learn from past successes, as well as tragedies, as we utilise and further build an evidence base for confident social work practices around the world. “ Dr Carlene Firmin, Principal Research Fellow in Contextual Safeguarding, University of Bedfordshire, UK

A journey where he became a mighty warrior in a Kingdom far, far away to rescue the damsel in distress, the orphaned children and set the captives free! Many followed him on the path...

Islands of Pines

By: Claire Delunaire

In the near decades ahead, democracies worldwide struggle to maintain their existences, challenged by entities such as mega corporations, oligarchs, dictators, and despots. Yan Calder Lince, a billionaire candidate to become the first trillionaire, establishes what he calls a virtual nation. Named the Interdependent Order of Polites, it is a democracy declared by its citizens, not the territories they occupy. The goal is to reduce growing poverty by rebuilding the world’s declining middle classes through employee-owned businesses. Conall Wayland, a hostile corporate takeover hotshot, flagrantly chooses Lince and his followers as his new target. He plots against the IOP on it’s first location on the small Cuban island, the Isle of Pines. From St. Petersburg, Russia, Yuri Petrokov, a novice member of a worldwide crime syndicate, stumbles into the murder mission of a wealthy businessman. The mark of the deadly contract is not to be specified until he arrives on the isle in a stolen, miniature Russian submarine. Both Lince and Wayland are potential prey. Will either of them be the one to die? If so, how and why?

Time Flies

By: Claire Cook

After accompanying Melanie and B.J. on their hysterical road trip, readers will feel like they’ve made friends for life.”—Kirkus TWO BEST FRIENDS. A HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. AND A ROLLICKING ROAD TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE. “A spunky, lighthearted road trip down memory lane. Another delightful beach read from Claire Cook.”—Booklist Years ago, Melanie followed her husband Kurt from the New England beach town where their two young sons were thriving to the suburbs of Atlanta. She’s carved out a life as a successful metal sculptor, but when Kurt leaves her for another woman, having the tools on hand to cut up their marriage bed is small consolation. She’s old enough to know that high school reunions are often a big disappointment, but when her best friend makes her buy a ticket and an old flame gets in touch to see if she’ll be going, she fantasizes that returning to her past might help her find her future . . . until her highway driving phobia resurfaces and threatens to hold her back from the adventure of a lifetime. Time Flies is an epic trip filled with fun, heartbreak, and friendship that explores what it takes to conquer your worst fears . . . so you can start living your future. From the New York Times bestselling author of the much-loved book Must Love Dogs, made into a romantic comedy movie starring Diane Lane and John Cusack and now a 7-book series, comes a feisty and fabulous novel about picking up the pieces and reinventing your life when everything falls apart. “Genuine, deftly drawn characters. . . Cook’s poignancy and sassy humor resonate with readers; her theme of reinvention uplifts and inspires . . . It’s the perfect companion for an afternoon under a beach umbrella with sand between your toes.” —Savannah Magazine “Cook’s characters are always looking for the next exciting chapter in their lives . . . Time Flies takes her trademark theme in a thought-provoking new direction . . . the resulting story is both touching and hilarious.”— The Bourne Courier “Cook delivers again . . . Past and present riotously collide and give birth to an ending as heartfelt as it is hopeful.”— Shelf Awareness “The perfect summer beach read . . . Funny, charming and downright lovable!”— Times Record News “The beach-bag-worthy story is one that may appeal to those who can commiserate with starting over.”— The Free Lance-Star “Laugh-out-loud funny . . . Time Flies is the perfect novel to read on your summer vacation or while lounging by the pool.”— The News-Gazette “More than a beach read, Claire Cook’s Time Flies is an absorbing and humorous look at lives lived during a particular era. . . . The author’s facility with setting evocative scenes past and present is refreshing. —New York Journal of Books “Full of engaging characters and humorous situations . . . This lighthearted story will have readers plumbing its hidden depths and enjoying the ride.” —Romance Reviews Today “The exuberant and charming Claire Cook is one of the sassiest and funniest creators of contemporary women’s fiction.”— The Times-Picayune “Reading Claire Cook might be the most fun you have all summer.”— Elin Hilderbrand “Charming, engagingly quirky, and full of fun, Claire Cook just gets it.”— Meg Cabot “Claire Cook has an original voice, sparkling style, and a window int family life that will make you laugh and cry.”— Adriana Trigiani “Inimitably warm and witty . . .

Silver Beach

A Novel

By: Claire Cox

It's been decades since Mara's family was last together, decades since the day her sister Allison drowned at Silver Beach. After the family tragedy, Mara's father took her to the opposite end of the country, where she made a tidy life for herself in western Massachusetts, with a good education, stable job, and loving girlfriend. Her half-sister, Shannon, was left behind with their mother in San Diego. Surviving on disability checks and handouts from family, Shannon can't remember a time when Linda wasn't drunk. When a heart attack lands Linda in the hospital, Shannon's first impulse is to skip town—to finally escape her mother's orbit and make her sister step up. While Mara gave up on Linda years ago and couldn't have less in common with her sister, an unemployed stoner, it's time for her to stop running from everything that makes her have feelings. This is a novel about the persistent, mystifying ties of family, the extravagant mess of addiction, and what it means to actually live inside your own life.

St. Albans

St. Albans

By: Claire Serant

As colonial New Yorkers expanded their housing and employment options beyond Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, southeast Queens became a destination for Dutch and English families who wanted more land and a better life. Beyond the confines of the village of Jamaica in Queens emerged a community of strivers - farmers and entrepreneurs - who founded St. Albans in 1899. A housing boom in the 1920s and 1930s in Queens brought more residents with European heritage to St. Albans. Yankee slugger Babe Ruth spent so much time at the St. Albans Golf and Country Club that many area residents thought he lived there. Meanwhile, a racial covenant in Addisleigh Park, an affluent section of St. Albans, threatened to keep African Americans out of the neighborhood until the federal government outlawed the practice in 1948. Over time, many African American jazz musicians and entertainers along with middle- and working-class families have called St. Albans home. Today, St. Albans is a predominantly middle-class African American and Caribbean American neighborhood that continues to embrace its ambitious past through strong connections to business, civic, political, and religious groups.

Site Fidelity: Stories

By: Claire Boyles

Finalist for the 2022 Reading the West Debut Fiction Award Finalist for the 2022 Colorado Book Award for Literary Fiction Longlisted for the 2022 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection Set in the western sagebrush steppe, Site Fidelity is a vivid, intimate, and deeply human exploration of life on the shifting terrain of our changing planet. Firmly rooted in the modern American West, Site Fidelity follows women and families who feel the instinctual, inexplicable pull of a home they must work to protect from the effects of economic inequity and climate catastrophe. A seventy-four-year-old nun turns to eco-sabotage to stop a fracking project. A woman delivers her own baby in a Nevada ghost town. A young farmer hides her chicken flock from the government during a bird flu epidemic. An ornithologist returns home to care for her rancher father and gets caught up trying to protect a breeding group of endangered Gunnison sage grouse. In lean, lyrical prose, Claire Boyles evokes the bleakness and beauty of our threatened western landscapes. Spanning the decades from the 1970s to a plausible near future, this knockout debut introduces unforgettable characters who must confront the challenges of caregiving and loss alongside the very practical impacts of fracking, water rights law, and other agricultural policies. Site Fidelity is a vivid, intimate, and deeply human exploration of life on the shifting terrain of our changing planet.
