Book excerpt: In these poems, by turns incendiary and lamenting, Mohamed Eno speaks with the force of ancient prophets and the sardonic, onrushing verve of the satirist who leaves no puppet without a head. He is undaunted in his assault and ultimately moving in his calls for a genuine renewal and the sowing of an African earth in which, to quote Aim?? C??saire, ?Çÿthere will be room for all. Prof. Christopher Winks, author of Symbolic Cities in Caribbean Literature Mohamed Enos poems pierce the readers conscience as they move delicately from academic facticity to indignation to lyrical melancholy. Corpses on the Menu: Blood, Bullets and Bones is really a defiant attempt at setting the record straight and through this offers a path toward reconciliation and healing. Dr. Bhakti Shringarpure, Editor-in-Chief of Warscapes Magazine and Prof. of Literature and Post-Colonial Theory at Hunter College, CUNY. What a befitting title! Mohamed Enos Corpses on the Menu: Blood, Bullets and Bones speaks louder than most books on the trends in African history, currently lying idle in many libraries. Thematically, the poems are tough recounts and a courageous synergy between history, literature and literary stylea testimony of realistic literature that questions our ethics and moral values. Rev. Dr. Wangari Mwai, Professor of Literature & Director of the Institute for Research, Science and Technology, Kenyatta University Corpses on the Menu: Blood, Bullets and Bones, by Mohamed A. Eno, is a collection of poems on the topics of slavery, post colonial elites, betrayal of the peasantry, wars, poor governance, and is a must read for all. It aims at creating a citadel of peace in the mind of each individual, and in this way teaches the stakeholders to love and live in peace, justice and harmony and reject oppression and violence. Prof. Monica N.W. Mweseli, Department of Literature, University of Nairobi & former Vice Chancellor of Kiriri Womens University of Science and Technology

Book excerpt: Food - what we eat, how much we eat, how it is produced and prepared, and its cultural and ecological significance- is an increasingly significant topic not only for scholars but for all of us. Theology on the Menu is the first systematic and historical assessment of Christian attitudes to food and its role in shaping Christian identity. David Grumett and Rachel Muers unfold a fascinating history of feasting and fasting, food regulations and resistance to regulation, the symbolism attached to particular foods, the relationship between diet and doctrine, and how food has shaped inter-religious encounters. Everyone interested in Christian approaches to food and diet or seeking to understand how theology can engage fruitfully with everyday life will find this book a stimulus and an inspiration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of video games has long revolved around a subset of its player base: straight, white males aged 18-25. Highly gendered marketing in the late 1990s and early 2000s widened the gap between this perceived base and the actual diverse group who buy video games. Despite reports from the Entertainment Software Association that nearly half of gamers identify as female, many developers continue to produce content reflecting this imaginary audience. Many female gamers are in turn modifying the games. "Modders" alter the appearance of characters, rewrite scenes and epilogues, enhance or add love scenes and create fairy tale happy endings. This is a collection of new essays on the phenomenon of women and modding, focusing on such titles as Skyrim, Dragon Age, Mass Effect and The Sims. Topics include the relationship between modders and developers, the history of modding, and the relationship between modding and disability, race, sexuality and gender identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pawn of the U.S. government. Right-hand man to the mob. Iron-fisted dictator. For decades, public understanding of the pre-Revolutionary Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista has been limited to these stereotypes. While on some level they all contain an element of truth, these superficial characterizations barely scratch the surface of the complex and compelling career of this important political figure. Second only to Fidel Castro, Batista is the most controversial leader in modern Cuban history. And yet, until now, there has been no objective biography written about him. Existing biographical literature is predominantly polemical and either borders on hero worship or launches a series of attacks aimed at denigrating his entire legacy. In this book, the first of two volumes, Frank Argote-Freyre provides a full and balanced portrait of this historically shadowed figure. He describes Batista's rise to power as part of a revolutionary movement and the intrigues and dangers that surrounded him. Drawing on an extensive review of Cuban newspapers, government records, memos, oral history interviews, and a selection of Batista's personal documents, Argote-Freyre moves beyond simplistic caricatures to uncover the real man-one with strengths and weaknesses and with a career marked by accomplishments as well as failures. This volume focuses on Batista's role as a revolutionary leader from 1933 to 1934 and his image as a "strongman" in the years between 1934 and 1939. Argote-Freyre also uses Batista as an interpretive prism to review an entire era that is usually ignored by scholars-the Republican period of Cuban history. Bringing together global and local events, he considers the significance and relationship of the worldwide economic depression, the beginnings of World War II, and in Cuba, the Revolution of 1933, the expansion of the middle class, and the gradual development of democratic institutions. Fulgencio Batista and most of Cuba's past prior to the Revolution of 1959 has been lost in the historical mists. Cuba had a rich and fascinating history before the Marxist Revolution and the reign of Fidel Castro. This captivating and long-overdue book uncovers it.
