Women Utopia
A speculative sci-fi where toxic feminism of the past has led to a dystopian future for women. A future where women are dehumanized and treated little more than property collected as wives by a few wealthy and powerful men, while other men are left in the dust of uselessness due to mass job automation. Ramona Rey is a socially awkward young woman trying to navigate the politics of courtship and marriage, only to stumble into being part of an underground group of radical feminists led by an enigmatic woman. As Ramona tries to gather intel for the group, she ends up working as a bodyguard for Adam, the heir of one of the richest families in the country. Ramona is conflicted when she learns that the feminists are about to unleash the biggest terror mankind has ever known: the complete annihilation of men. Added into the mix are her growing feelings towards Adam and her trying to find out if all men are really evil, as claimed by the feminists. Women Utopia is the debut novel of Wendy Wee.
King of Scotland' and 'The Tobacco Merchant's Lawyer'
King of Scotland is an award-winning, dark comedy and a free adaptation of Gogol's A Diary of a Madman. Long-term unemployed Tommy McMillan joins a government-funded retraining scheme 'Up The Ladder'. Cited as a shining example of the government's employment policies and chosen for a media profile, Tommy is taken on by the Department of Upward Mobility. The department gets more than they bargained for, however, when they discover just how far up the ladder Tommy is expecting to go. Featuring trouserless bankers, talking dogs, flying taxis and a razor-sharp parody of the workings of politics, King of Scotland is an outrageous Fringe First-winning monologue. This volume also contains the biting satire The Tobacco Merchant's Lawyer. Set in 1780, Glasgow is booming, but the American war is looming, and the city's wealth is dependent on the import and export of American tobacco. Cantankerous and impoverished, Enoch Dalmellington is more harried by problems: how to marry off his dreich pious humourless daughter Euphemia, being able to afford his pew at the Tron Kirk, and what to do about Mistress Zapata's scurrilous predictions about Glasgow in the twenty-first century.
Out of Place
Out of Place tells a new history of the field of law and society through the experiences and fieldwork of successful writers from populations that academia has historically marginalized. Encouraging collective and transparent self-reflection on positionality, the volume features scholars from around the world who share how their out-of-place positionalities influenced their research questions, data collection, analysis, and writing in law and society. From China to Colombia, India to Indonesia, Singapore to South Africa, and the United Kingdom to the United States, these experts record how they conducted their fieldwork, how their privileges and disadvantages impacted their training and research, and what they learned about the law in the process. As the global field of law and society becomes more diverse and an interest in identity grows, Out of Place is a call to embrace the power of positionality. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
