Our Caribbean A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles
Thomas Glave, "Our Caribbean: A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles"
English | ISBN: 082234226X | 2008 | 416 pages | PDF | 18 MB
The first book of its kind, Our Caribbean is an anthology of lesbian and gay writing from across the Antilles. The author and activist Thomas Glave has gathered outstanding fiction, nonfiction, memoir, and poetry by little-known writers together with selections by internationally celebrated figures such as José Alcántara Almánzar, Reinaldo Arenas, Dionne Brand, Michelle Cliff, Audre Lorde, Achy Obejas, and Assotto Saint. The result is an unprecedented literary conversation on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered experiences throughout the Caribbean and its far-flung diaspora. Many selections were originally published in Spanish, Dutch, or creole languages; some are translated into English here for the first time.

Other Englands Utopia, Capital, and Empire in an Age of Transition

Other Englands Utopia, Capital, and Empire in an Age of Transition
Sarah Hogan, "Other Englands: Utopia, Capital, and Empire in an Age of Transition"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1503605167 | 272 pages | EPUB | 1.5 MB
Other Englands examines the rise of the early English utopia in the context of emergent capitalism. Above all, it asserts that this literary genre was always already an expression of social crisis and economic transition, a context refracted in the origin stories and imagined geographies common to its early modern form. Beginning with the paradigmatic popular utopias of Thomas More and Francis Bacon but attentive to non-canonical examples from the margins of the tradition, the study charts a shifting and, by the time of the English Revolution, self-critical effort to think communities in dynamic socio-spatial forms.
