While critical studies of the American political novel date from the 1920s, such considerations of the genre have failed, whether wittingly or unwittingly, to recognize works by women. The exclusion is usually based on a distinction between "social" novels and "political" novels, and the result is an understanding of the "political" as a largely male province. In this thought-provoking collection of essays, the contributors seek not simply to add works by women to the canon of political novels but, rather, to demand a conceptual revolution - one that questions the very precepts on which the canon is based. This redefinition of the political novel takes many factors into account, including gender, race, and class and their relation to our most basic conceptions of literary and aesthetic value.

Evil in the Shadows is a thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seats. The suspenseful nature and psychologically-intriguing story line will make it a difficult book to put down. The novel has exciting, mystifying, as well as very creepy elements - combining a thriller, horror and crime story all together. This masterfully-worded work of fiction cleverly intermingles and intertwines all of these complicated elements. It is the story of Scott Robert Falcon Parker, who is a thoroughly-evil protagonist. He was born that way and only becomes worse as we witness, first-hand, his notorious life and hideous deeds. It is about the good and evil in the world. It shows so many underlying things just below the surface of people that one never sees or even thinks can be imagined. The protagonists actions will certainly shock and perhaps, at times, even make the readers jaw drop. A thriller such as this has not been written in a long time. It is overdue. Hints and glimpses of black art, voodoo, demonology, gothic mystique, creepy horror and young, teenage girls worst nightmares are all captured in this unforgettable, haunting novel.
Over a dramatic six-month period in 1802, William Wordsworth, S.T.

"The resulting material challenges previous findings in those feminist and youth anthropological studies based on too narrow a concept of class, ethnicity or populist approaches to culture. Rejecting the still prevalent notion of resistance, this study reveals instead that the girls' activities are more about accommodation to the constraining givens of social life, stretching these to discover their possibilities while simultaneously working hard to remain within their parameters of safety and reassurance. In this conceptual framework popular music and other global cultural texts emerge to gain a new significance within their local settings."--BOOK JACKET.
