Daddy Bent-Legs
Neil Matheson is a first-time writer from western Canada, currently residing in Surrey, British Columbia, (near the outskirts of Vancouver). Born on March 25, 1968, he entered the world with a physical disability called Cerebral Palsy. From that day forward, Neil experienced life on a pair of crutches, walked through life on a pair of bent legs. Despite his physical handicap, Neil grew up like any regular kid. While not raised in a Christian home per se, Neil did manage to reach adulthood with at least some understanding of who God is. Now, at forty-one years of age, the author reflects back on his life story. A journey on crutches, including struggle, triumph, acceptance, love, and salvation... all re-told within the pages of this book.

American Beasts
In American history, animals are everywhere. They are a ubiquitous presence in myriad historical, literary, biographical, scientific and other documents and narratives of the American past – a past that, just like the present, was shaped by a multiplicity of relations between humans and other creatures ranging from coexistence and conviviality to hostility, subjugation and extermination. While such quintessentially American species as the bison, the mustang or the grizzly continue to roam the discursive, imaginary and, now to a much lesser degree, the geographical spaces of the nation, the less iconic creatures of civilization – the various species of domesticated working and companion a...

Vagrant Figures
How vagrancy, as legal and imaginative category, shaped the role of policing in colonialism, racial formation, and resource distributionIn this innovative book demonstrating the important role of eighteenth-century literary treatments of policing and vagrancy, Nicolazzo offers a prehistory of police legitimacy in a period that predates the establishment of the modern police force. She argues that narrative, textual, and rhetorical practices shaped not only police and legal activity of the period, but also public conceptions of police power. Her extensive research delves into law and literature on both sides of the Atlantic, tracking the centrality of vagrancy in establishing police power as a form of sovereignty crucial to settler colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism. The first book in several generations to address policing and vagrancy in the eighteenth century, and the first in the field to center race and empire in its account of literary vagrancy, Nicolazzo’s work is a significant contribution to the field of eighteenth-century literary and cultural studies.
