This collection chronicles the strategic uses of madness in works by black women fiction writers from Africa, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe, and the United States. Moving from an over-reliance on the “madwoman” as a romanticized figure constructed in opposition to the status quo, contributors to this volume examine how black women authors use madness, trauma, mental illness, and psychopathology as a refraction of cultural contradictions, psychosocial fissures, and political tensions of the larger social systems in which their diverse literary works are set through a cultural studies approach. The volume is constructed in three sections: Revisiting the Archive, Reinscribing Its Texts: Slavery and Madness as Historical Contestation, The Contradictions of Witnessing in Conflict Zones: Trauma and Testimony, and Novel Form, Mythic Space: Syncretic Rituals as Healing Balm. The novels under review re-envision the initial trauma of slavery and imperialism, both acknowledging the impact of these events on diasporic populations and expanding the discourse beyond that framework. Through madness and healing as sites of psychic return, these novels become contemporary parables of cultural resistance.

Alex Hawke is sailing into trouble when an around-the-world journey becomes a fight against terror in the latest exciting adventure from New York Times bestselling novelist Ted Bell. After saving the kidnapped heir to the British throne, gentleman spy and MI6 legend Alex Hawke is due for some downtime. He’s got a new custom built sailing yacht and a goal: to get closer to his son Alexi during an epic cruise across the seven seas. But fate and the chief of MI6, Lord David Trulove, have other plans. There’s an unholy alliance of nations who are plotting to attack Western democracies. The wily intelligence leader plans to use Hawke to drive a knife into the heart of this conspiracy. From an island base off Cuba to a secret jungle lair deep in the Amazon, on the land and the seas, the master spy and his crew of incorrigibles are in for the fight of their lives—the fight for freedom.

This study presents Moby-Dick as a novel with three distinct but interconnecting stories: Ishmael’s, which he shares ten years after it has taken place; Ahab’s, which is Ishmael's account of the memorable captain of a whaling ship; and a third which centres on whales and whaling, which has not received significant critical attention. While each of these perspectives compete for prominence in the narrative, Ahab and Ishmael's stories have often distracted from the vital significance of the whaling narrative as what outlasts Ahab’s obsessive mission. Catalano rights this wrong by coming to a strikingly original and thought-provoking conclusion which becomes the heart of the book's argument: “the unity of Melville’s book comes, first, from the way the numerous literary, philosophical, and religious reflections are rooted in those magnificent beings, whales and in the men and ships that pursue them, and, second, in the way these reflections illuminate our own lives.”

Awaken in the darkness of a foreign land; it prowls the forest with yellow eyes and sharp fangs. It thirsts for blood and strays upon a mysterious camp. It watches them carefully and waits for a false move before striking swiftly and without detection. One by one they are taken against their will. Its strength is menacing and mutilates without remorse. Its rage is powered by an indestructible force not seen in centuries. The lifeless body moves through darkness like the animal that it seems to be. But it is no animal... it is a young child born from the purest blood of vampirism, but raised by an enemy species long since lost. The child finds himself in a human world war and engages curiously with an axis of evil known historically as the German Nazis. In a quest to find a mythological and holy relic stolen generations ago by enemies of darkness that will fight if interfered with their dominance of the world. And as the boys hunger intensifies, so do the efforts of the Nazi watch towers. By doubling guards in each corners of the camp they are certain the boy-creature awaits them. They can only wait and pray for the only line of defense... for the sun to rise quickly. The German train unloads hundreds of people at the Nazi labor camp. One of the new arrivals is a mysterious man from Sweden falsely imprisoned. He is beaten and dragged into the same concentration camp where the boy vampire is feasting. His capture does not go unnoticed and quickly uncovers the truth about the labor camp and what it means to wear a yellow star on his clothing. In an epic battle, Jakobson as hes called, races to escape from the evil that dwells within the camp. He encounters gruesome acts of terror against humanity, including a supernatural event. One night after the witching hour, Jakobson watches the Nazis lure a trap for the boy, but their plan foils and Jakobson instead rescues the child thus avoiding captivity. He befriends the boy and helps him understand the values of being a human being. Together facing the deathly consequences of war, an ultimate sacrifice must be fulfilled, if they can stay alive long enough to give the first order, Let the rebellion begin... death to the Nazis!

This is a memoir of a driver for the transit system authority of a major city. When it comes to mass transit, people of all age groups and from all walks of life can be cruel, combative, repulsive, and downright crazy. Whether passengers, bikers, or other drivers, these people sometimes are shamelessly disrespectful. Everyone is so busy operating at a fast pace, thinking only about themselves, that they lose themselves and forget how to be calm, kind, and decent. Let me be the first to say that the job of a mass transit operator is not hard but it is not as sweet as pie as so many people believe. Most of my workdays are downright unbelievable. Some of these unbelievable stories are funny; others are insanely coldblooded. And that is the reason mass transit operators need the best-quality protection the transit authority can provide. The author shares her experiences in stories filled with shock and laughter. Taken together, they reveal the life of a big city mass transit operator.

Cultural Constructions of Madness in the Eighteenth Century deals with the (mis)representation of insanity through a substantial range of literary forms and figures from across the eighteenth century and beyond. Chapters cover the representation, distortion, sentimentalization and elevation of insanity, and such associated issues as gender, personal identity, and performance, in some of the best, as well as some of the least, known writers of the period. A selection of visual material, including works by Hogarth, Rowlandson, and Gillray, is also discussed. While primarily adopting a literary focus, the work is informed throughout by an alertness to significant issues of medical and psychiatric history.
