Englishness Revisited
What is Englishness? Is there such a thing as a national temperament, is there a character or an identity which can be claimed to be specifically English? This collection of articles seeks to answer these questions by offering a kaleidoscopic vision of Englishness since the eighteenth century, a vision that acknowledges stereotypes while at the same time challenging them. Englishness is defined in contrast to Britishness, the Celtic fringe—Scotland in particular—Europe and the Continent at large.

Overlapping Pain and Psychiatric Syndromes
"Over the past two decades, Mario Incayawar, the senior editor of this impressive volume assessing the current state of knowledge in the overlapping clinical domains of pain and psychiatric syndromes, has established a reputation as an innovative thinker and steady contributor to the fields of cultural psychiatry and pain medicine, with a particular focus on the indigenous Quichua population of the Andean mountain region of South America. During these years, he founded and is the director of the Runajambi Institute for the Study of Quichua Culture and Health, based in the Andean community, working closely with Lise Bouchard and Sioui Maldonado-Bouchard.

We aim to set forward new thinking about insomnia research, including unchartered territories needing to be explored. Reviews, meta-analyses, and new experimental research are welcome in this Issue.
Black British Literature
In this fascinating book, Mark Stein examines black British literature, centering on a body of work created by British-based writers with African, South Asian, or Caribbean cultural backgrounds. Linking black British literature to the bildungsroman genre, this study examines the transformative potential inscribed in and induced by a heterogeneous body of texts. Capitalizing on their plural cultural attachments, these texts portray and purvey the transformation of post-imperial Britain. Stein locates his wide-ranging analysis in both a historical and a literary context. He argues that a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach is essential to understanding post-colonial culture and socie...
