Peculiar Places
The queer recluse, the shambling farmer, the clannish hill folk—white rural populations have long disturbed the American imagination, alternately revered as moral, healthy, and hardworking, and feared as antisocial or socially uncouth. In Peculiar Places, Ryan Lee Cartwright examines the deep archive of these contrary formations, mapping racialized queer and disability histories of white social nonconformity across the rural twentieth-century United States. Sensationalized accounts of white rural communities’ aberrant sexualities, racial intermingling, gender transgressions, and anomalous bodies and minds, which proliferated from the turn of the century, created a national view of the pe...
The Spanish Flu
The 1918 Spanish flu epidemic is now widely recognized as the most devastating disease outbreak in recorded history. This cultural history reconstructs Spaniards' experience of the flu and traces the emergence of various competing narratives that arose in response to bacteriology's failure to explain and contain the disease's spread.

Dragon Queen Series
Cora Phillips may have witchcraft in her blood, but she's convinced she inherited the recessive rather than the dominant trait. When Cora, through clumsy fumblings to "get in touch with her goddess," calls a pair of ancient dragons into her meditation circle, she swears the summons was a mistake. Mistake or not, two dragons and their keepers gather to answer her mating call. She quickly learns neither dragon keepers nor dragons are willing to share. As dangerous, beautiful Salim Aridi and his rival Greg Cho set out to claim her she finds herself embroiled in sinister schemes and dangerous power plays. Caught between the dragonkeepers and their legendary aspects, she does the only thing she can and flees the complicated steps of the dragon dance. Escape is short-lived. Before long, the dragons demonstrate just how meaningless human distance really is and return to remind Cora that dragon ties are not so easily broken. Deceptions begin to unravel as Cora attempts to disentangle herself from family and lovers in order to pursue the truth of what she is, accept the reality of what she must be, and become dragon bound.
Bordering
Controlling national borders has once again become a key concern of contemporary states and a highly contentious issue in social and political life. But controlling borders is about much more than patrolling territorial boundaries at the edges of states: it now comprises a multitude of practices that take place at different levels, some at the edges of states and some in the local contexts of everyday life – in workplaces, in hospitals, in schools – which, taken together, construct, reproduce and contest borders and the rights and obligations associated with belonging to a nation-state. This book is a systematic exploration of the practices and processes that now define state bordering and the role it plays in national and global governance. Based on original research, it goes well beyond traditional approaches to the study of migration and racism, showing how these processes affect all members of society, not just the marginalized others. The uncertainties arising from these processes mean that more and more people find themselves living in grey zones, excluded from any form of protection and often denied basic human rights.
