L'ouvrage mondialement connu sur les origines et le développement du nationalisme Toute l'ampleur de la réussite intellectuelle de Benedict Anderson est toujours appréciée et débattue. "Imagined Communities" reste le livre le plus influent sur les origines du nationalisme, comblant le vide qui existait auparavant dans les traditions de la pensée occidentale. Cité plus souvent que tout autre ouvrage de langue anglaise en sciences humaines, il est lu dans le monde entier dans plus de trente traductions. Rédigée avec une clarté exemplaire, cette étude éclairante retrace l'émergence de l'idée de communauté en Amérique du Sud, plutôt qu'en Europe au XIXe siècle. Plus tard, ce sentiment d'appartenance s'est formé et reformulé à tous les niveaux, de la haute politique à la culture populaire, en passant par l'imprimé, la littérature, les cartes et les musées. Suite à la montée et au conflit des nations et au déclin des empires, Anderson s'appuie sur des exemples de l'Asie du Sud-Est, de l'Amérique latine et du passé récent de l'Europe pour montrer comment le nationalisme a façonné le monde moderne.

At the dawn of the 20th century, a multi-generational family in the Gullah community on the Sea Islands off of South Carolina – former West African slaves who adopted many of their ancestors’ Yoruba traditions – struggle to maintain their cultural heritage and folklore while contemplating a migration to the mainland, even further from their roots. The first wide release by a black female filmmaker, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST was met with wild critical acclaim and rapturous audience response when it initially opened in 1991. Casting a long legacy, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST still resonates today, most recently as a major in influence on Beyonce’s video album Lemonade. Winner of the Cinematography Award and nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in the Dramatic competition at the Sundance Film Festival.

Lesbianism in literature has been dealt with rather indirectly in the past. Editors have led readers to the "artistry" of a work containing lesbianism, emphasizing instead the literary history and historical context of the work rather than the representations of lesbianism. The editor for Colette's The Pure and the Impure, for instance, affirms that Colette has a knowledge of a "strange sisterhood," but assures readers she has never strayed from the "normal." In the groundbreaking A Lure of Knowledge, Judith Roof demonstrates that representations of lesbian sexuality occupy specific locations or positions in the arguments, subject matter, and rhetoric of Western European and American literary criticism. She examines the political context of representations: how lesbian sexuality is used as a signifier an why it appears when and where it does. Roof argues that attempts to depict or explain lesbian sexuality spur anxieties about knowledge and identity. In reaction to and denial of these anxieties, lesbian sexuality is represented in film, literature, theory, and criticism as foreplay, as simulated heterosexuality, as erotic excess, as joking inauthenticity, as artful compromise, or as masculine mask in a specific repertoire of neutralization and evasion. Challenging the heterosexism of film theory and feminist theory, this book analyzes the rhetorical use of lesbian sexuality. Roof explores a range of discourses, from the woks of such authors as Anais Nin, Olga Broumas, Julia Kristeva, Jane Rule, Luce Iriguray, and Sigmund Freud, to films such as Emmanuelle, Desert Hearts, Entre Nous, and I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, to professional tennis.
