Ilana's Love
In this New-Testament-era novel, the reader comes face to face with Jesus through the eyes of a young girl coming of age at the height of his ministry. Ilana, daughter of an influential Pharisee in the village of Nain, pursues Jesus following his raising of a local widows son from death. Promised to Baruch, a merchant she does not love, and forbidden to see Asa, the young man who holds her heart, Ilana seeks a miracle from Jesus. With the help of newfound friends, she enters his camp in the hills near Bethsaida. If she has the boldness to ask, will he grant her request? How will her journey be viewed in Nain? And what difference will it make? While respecting Scripture with painstaking care, Ilanas Love sketches the people of first-century Galilee and Judea with such reality that the read feels contemporary.

Class and Psychoanalysis
Does psychoanalysis have anything to say about the emotional landscapes of class? How can class-inclusive psychoanalytic projects, historic and contemporary, inform theory and practice? Class and psychoanalysis are unusual bedfellows, but this original book shows how much is to be gained by exploring their relationship. Joanna Ryan provides a comprehensively researched and challenging overview in which she holds the tension between the radical and progressive potential of psychoanalysis, in its unique understandings of the unconscious, with its status as a mainly expensive and exclusive profession. Class and Psychoanalysis draws on existing historical scholarship, as well as on the experienc...

Kris returns for another summer of touring in 1987, this time to Skagway, Alaska, launching site of the Klondike Gold Rush. Here, Kris and his friends take up residence in a retired Gold Rush-era brothel and begin to dig deeply into the local experience, not only through t...

Gender Without Identity
Winner of the 2024 Silver Medal for LGBTQ+ Non-Fiction from the Independent Publisher Book Awards. Offers a radical theory of gender formation and its ongoing mutations Gender Without Identity challenges the argument widely embraced by rights activists and many members of the LGBTQ+ community that gender identity is innate and immutable. Avgi Saketopoulou and Ann Pellegrini chart another path towards the flourishing of queer and trans life. Positing that the idea of an innate core gender identity is simplistic, problematic, and, even, potentially harmful to LGBTQ+ people, they instead argue that gender is something all subjects acquire. Trauma, they provocatively propose, sometimes has a sha...
Mixed Towns, Trapped Communities
Modern urban spaces are, by definition, mixed socio-spatial configurations. In many ways, their enduring success and vitality lie in the richness of their ethnic texture and ongoing exchange of economic goods, cultural practices, political ideas and social movements. This mixture, however, is rarely harmonious and has often led to violent conflict over land and identity. Focusing on mixed towns in Israel/Palestine, this insightful volume theorizes the relationship between modernity and nationalism and the social dynamics which engender and characterize the growth of urban spaces and the emergence therein of inter-communal relations. For more than a century, Arabs and Jews have been interacti...
