Masquerade
In its conventional meaning, masquerade refers to a festive gathering of people wearing masks and elegant costumes. But traditional forms of masquerade have evolved over the past century to include the representation of alternate identities in the media and venues of popular culture, including television, film, the internet, theater, museums, sports arenas, popular magazines and a range of community celebrations, reenactments and conventions. This collection of fresh essays examines the art and function of masquerade from a broad range of perspectives. From African slave masquerade in New World iconography, to the familiar Guy Fawkes masks of the Occupy Wall Street movement, to the branded identities created by celebrities like Madonna, Beyonce and Lady Gaga, the essays show how masquerade permeates modern life.

Kiss My Arse: The Story of the Pogues
The story of The Pogues has been as riotous as their most rabble-rousing songs. From the streets of 80s London the Celtic Punks unleashed their hellraising 20-year career and in the process became legends; mythic troubadours whose popularity endures. This Omnibus Enhanced edition of Kiss My Arse has been revamped with an interactive digital timeline which paints the journey of The Pogues with videos and images of live performances, interviews, memorabilia and more. Also included is an integrated Spotify playlist containing the band’s greatest performances. To tell their story author Carol Clerk has interviewed Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy, Jem Finer, Andrew Ranken, James Fearnley, Cait O'Riordan, and a clutch of associates, friends and fans. All paint a picture of a fiercely loyal group of musicians, their arguments and drunken spats, their love affairs, the drugs, the hirings and the firings, the marriages and deaths… but, above all, the music. This is their story, bared for all.

In the Service of Peace
Three hundred years of Civil War...It was a golden time; most of the Earth was at peace. The United Nations controlled huge armies of Peacekeepers who kept that peace at the end of a gun. Sergeant Sean O'Leary was one of those Peacekeepers and had fought in hundreds of battles while wearing the Blue Beret. Cybernetically enhanced each time after being wounded, he no longer was the same man, or soldier, he used to be. He awakes after a supposed six month tour in stasis to find 300 years have passed and the Earth he remembers is gone. The UN had become divided and had fought itself for control of the world. Sean discovers that only pockets of civilization remain and the rest of the world has sunk into a bizarre mixture of barbarism and feudal tribes. War is common, death just another companion in this new, harsh world. This new Earth needed a Peacekeeper.
Irish Music Abroad
Irish music enjoyed popularity across Europe and North America in the second half of the twentieth century. Regional circumstances created a unique reception for such music in the English Midlands. This book is a musical ethnography of Birmingham, 1950–2010.
