    "Based on his provocative and popular New York Times op-ed, The Man They Wanted Me to Be is both memoir and cultural analysis. Jared Yates Sexton alternates between an examination of his working class upbringing and historical, psychological, and sociological sources that examine the genesis of toxic masculinity and its consequences for society. As progressivism changes American society, and globalism shifts labor away from traditional manufacturing, the roles that have been prescribed to men since the Industrial Revolution have been rendered as obsolete. Donald Trump's campaign successfully leveraged male resentment and entitlement, and now, with Trump as president and the rise of the #MeToo movement, it's clearer than ever what a problem performative masculinity is. Deeply personal and thoroughly researched, The Man They Wanted Me to Be examines how we teach boys what's expected of men in America, and the long term effects of that socialization--which include depression, suicide, misogyny, and, ultimately, shorter lives. Sexton turns his keen eye to the establishment of the racist patriarchal structure which has favored white men, and investigates the personal and societal dangers of such outdated definitions of manhood"--

    "Animating Black and Brown Liberation introduces a vital new tool for reading American literatures. Rooted in both ancient Egyptian ideas about life and cutting-edge theories of animacy, or levels of aliveness, this tool--ankhing--enables Datcher to examine the ways African American and Latinx literatures respond to and ultimately work to resist hegemonic forces of neoliberalism and state-sponsored oppression. Weaving together close readings and politically informed philosophical reflection, Datcher considers the work of writer-activists such as Toni Cade Bambara, Cherríe Moraga, Gloria Anzaldúa, June Jordan, Salvador Perez, and Ishmael Reed, in light of theoretical interventions by Jane Bennett, Mel Y. Chen, Bruno Latour, Michel Foucault, Paulo Freire, and Erica R. Edwards. How, he asks, can cultural production positively influence Black and Brown material conditions and mobilize collective action "off the page"? How can art-based counterpublics provide a foundation for Black and Brown community organizing? What emerges finally from Datcher's innovative analysis is a much-needed account of the links between embodied experiences of racialization, as well as a fresh vision of twentieth and twenty-first century American literature as a repository of emancipatory strategies with real-world applications" -- Introduction: Animacy Matters -- Chapter 1.

    Building a theory of language, poetics, and politics in the break -- Homage as a politics of solidarity: coalition building and Arab American poetry -- Palestine, or a language as home: Susan Abulhawa's Mornings in Jenin -- Stories to pass on: Randa Jarrar's languages of race, sexuality, and gender -- "The most pressing causes of our times": translating Radwa Ashour translating Black America -- Conclusions: breaking to get free. Black-Arab political and cultural solidarity has had a long and rich history in the United States. That alliance is once again exerting a powerful influence on American society as Black American and Arab American activists and cultural workers are joining forces in formations like the Movement for Black Lives and Black for Palestine to address social justice issues. In Breaking Broken English, Hartman explores the historical and current manifestations of this relationship through language and literature, with a specific focus on Arab American literary works that use the English language creatively to put into practice many of the theories and ideas advanced by Black American thinkers. Breaking Broken English shows how language is the location where literary and poetic beauty meet the political in creative work. Hartman draws out thematic connections between Arabs/Arab Americans and Black Americans around politics and culture and also highlights the many artistic ways these links are built. She shows how political and cultural ideas of solidarity are written in creative texts and emphasizes their potential to mobilize social justice activists in the United States and abroad in the ongoing struggle for the liberation of Palestine

    A portrait of a young girl in the glorious wasteland of 1990s Los Angeles, Fade Into You recalls the hormonal haze and urgency of adolescence. High school junior Nikki Darling alternates between cutting class and getting high, falling into drugs, crushes, and counterculture to figure out how she fits into the world. Running increasingly wild with other angst-ridden outcasts, she pushes herself to the edge only to find herself trapped in the cyclical violence of growing up female. Written in dreamy, subterranean prose, this novel captures the reckless defiance and fragility of girlhood

    "When writing about Percival Everett, it has become customary to begin with a caveat that the conspicuous variety within his body of work will inherently frustrate any attempts at definitive classification. This selection of texts spans nearly the full length of Everett's career as a writer and includes his most popular works as well as some of his more obscure ones. It is intended as a sampling of the whole, not a ranked list; one should not infer from the emphasis on these fourteen works that Everett's remaining sixteen books are necessarily of lesser significance or lesser quality"-- An overview of Everett's life and career -- Everett and Menippean satire -- Five exemplary Menippean satires -- Menippean satire through tonal multiplicity -- The Menippean west -- Conclusion : a post-soul (but not post-racial) postscript.

    Introduction: A cultural narratological perspective on global ambiguity in the American gothic -- The politics of reading : ambiguity, yellow fever, and citizenship education in Charles B. Brown's Arthur Mervyn -- Edgar Allan Poe's gothic aesthetics and politics : ambiguity and rhetorical sublimity in "Ligeia" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" -- Navigating the literary marketplace : allegory, gothicism, and ambiguity in Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" and "Rappaccini's daughter" -- Return of the repressed : racial and gender politics in the uncanny gothic of Herman Melville and Louisa May Alcott -- Ambiguity and gender politics of authorship in Henry James' The turn of the screw and "The ghostly rental" -- Conclusion: American gothic as an ambiguous form of cultural and political re-vision.
