Don't Go in the Woods
Jimmy Spencer was only ten years old and scared to go into the woods behind his house. His older brother Steven would tell him stories about a man who lived in a cabin in the woods and liked to kill children with his sharp axe. During the day Jimmy's brother would dare him to go into the woods, but Jimmy was so scared that if he did he might be on the old man's chopping block behind his cabin. One day when Jimmy was playing in his backyard all alone, he thought he heard a voice coming from within the woods calling his name. Jimmy first thought it was the wind howling so he just kept bouncing the rubber ball off the back wall of his house. Then he'd thought he heard a voice again coming from ...
Amotopoan Trails
In this book the concept of mobility is explored for the archaeology of the Amazonian and Caribbean region. As a result of technological and methodological progress in archaeology, mobility has become increasingly visible on the level of the individual. However, as a concept it does not seem to fit with current approaches in Amazonian archaeology, which favour a move away from viewing small mobile groups as models for the deeper past. Instead of ignoring such ethnographic tyrannies, in this book they are considered to be essential for arriving at a different past. Viewing archaeological mobility as the sum of movements of both people and objects, the empirical part of Amotopoan Trails focuse...

A Man in the West
Those of us who love westerns, love heroes. Whether they are winning the west or winning the woman, beating the bad guys or beating the elements, we follow their every move and cheer their every victory. But do all heroes have to be tall, handsome, able to ride hard and shoot straight? Not in A Man in the West. The story is narrated by Moot, a teen age boy who has never been able to talk. As was common in the nineteenth century, he has been treated as little more than a nuisance, “more like a pet,” he says. He has not made the simplest of decisions that he can remember. The reader follows his growth and development throughout the book, from inside his head. We see not just what he learns, but how he learns. His goal is someday “to be considered a person.” What he becomes is the kind of person everyone wishes they were, the western hero. This story generates discussion and understanding of those who are not perfectly made and perfectly functioning. Readers of every age will identify with all of Moot’s insecurities and self doubts, but will be motivated by his incredible performance and growth.
Jimmy's Faith
A novel approach to understanding the work of James Baldwin and its transformative potential The relationship of James Baldwin’s life and work to Black religion is in many ways complex and confounding. What is he doing through his literary deployment of religious language and symbols? Despite Baldwin’s disavowal of Christianity in his youth, he continued to engage the symbols and theology of Christianity in works such as The Amen Corner, Just Above My Head, and others. With Jimmy’s Faith, author Christopher W. Hunt shows how Baldwin’s usage of those religious symbols both shifted their meaning and served as a way for him to build his own religious and spiritual vision. Engaging José...

Questions of Identity in Detective Fiction
With essays by an international group of scholars, Questions of Identity in Detective Fiction delves into the ways in which this genre, given its status as popular yet marginalized literature, allows for the exploration of a wide range of meanings. Contributors examine how the genre both mirrors and focuses the personal/sexual/ ethnic/spiritual, how it interfaces with national literatures and histories, and how the generic identity of detective fiction has evolved over time. Chapters include discussions of novels and short stories from American, Argentine, British, Canadian, French, German, and Japanese national literatures, ranging from the mid 19th century to the early 21st century.
Eco-man
Many canonical literary works look to the wild as the site for establishing a man's selfhood. But nature is just as often subjected to his most violent displays of mastery. This tension lies at the heart of 'Eco-Man', which brings together two rapidly growing fields: men's studies and ecocriticism.
