        Sport in the Black Atlantic

        Cricket, Canada and the Caribbean diaspora

        by Janelle Joseph. Series edited by John Horne

        This book outlines the ways sport helps to create transnational social fields that interconnect migrants dispersed across a region known as the Black Atlantic: England, North America and the Caribbean. Many Caribbean men's stories about their experiences migrating to Canada, settling in Toronto, finding jobs and travelling involved some contact with a cricket and social club. This book offers a unique contribution to black diaspora studies through showing sport as a means of allaying the pain of ageing in the diaspora, creating transnational social networks and marking ethnic boundaries on a local scale. The book also brings black diaspora analysis to sport research, and through a close look at what goes on before, during and after cricket matches provides insights into the dis-unities, contradictions and complexities of Afro-diasporic identity in multicultural Canada. It will be of interest to students and scholars in sociology, sport studies and black diaspora studies.

        Afro-atlantic voices

        autobiographies and memories of slavery and freedom

        by Rafael Domingos de Oliveira

        The lives of Africans were not limited to enslavement and the destruction of their previous forms of social organization. After the remarkable experience of crossing the Atlantic, millions of lives were reinvented even under terribly adverse conditions. New devotions, family formations, languages, new foods: everything had yet to be done in the different forms of resistance mobilized for survival. And survival was the greatest resistance, not to mention that learning to tell one's own story in a way that was understandable to the interlocutors one wanted to reach was undeniable proof of vitality. [...] The author did not let himself be intimidated by the unusual source in the environment of professional historians in Brazil and tackled subjects on which authoritative authors seemed to have already said it all, such as the meanings of freedom for those who built them. Facing these challenges is proof of Rafael's intellectual maturity. If this proof serves to qualify him in his craft, the book also brings the reader a fine, well-constructed and pleasurable writing.

        Ireland, slavery and the Caribbean

        Interdisciplinary perspectives

        by Finola O'Kane, Ciarán O'Neill

        Ireland, slavery and the Caribbean is a complex and ground-breaking collection of essays. Grounded in history, it integrates perspectives from art historians, architectural and landscape historians, and literary scholars to produce a genuinely interdisciplinary collection that spans from 1620-1830: the high point of European colonialism. By exploring imperial, national and familial relationships from their building blocks of plantation, migration, property and trade, it finds new ways to re-create and question how slavery made the Atlantic world.

        Journey to the Land of Men

        by Mónica-Ramón Ríos

        Journey to the Land of Men follows Gege, a skilled orphan raised by a sword master near Puna in Los Andes. In a post-apocalyptic future, the Southern Globe (formerly South America) is governed by women who nurture the Earth with mestizo knowledge. Invading armies of men threaten their peaceful existence due to outdated extractive economies. Gege becomes crucial in the conflict, joining a group of young warriors to uncover the enemy's leaders. With Ena, the future leader of the Southern Globe and Gege's love interest, they embark on a dangerous mission dragged as men. Tragedy strikes when Gege's teacher is killed, fueling suspicions of a traitor. As they journey through Central America towards the Caribbean, they liberate cities and face perilous landscapes. As they reach Florida and then New York with the help of an underground organization, Gege discovers Ena's identity as a trans woman, who has travel to undergo sex change. In love, Gege supports Ena, but soon learns Ena's family is responsible for her teacher's death. Driven and confused, Gege ventures alone to the enemy's stronghold, enduring torture and uncovering shocking truths about her own identity: her mother, the leader who liberated the Southern Globe came from across the Atlantic and was betrayed by Ena’s mother, the current leader. Gege escapes with unexpected help from Ena and her surviving teacher, unleashing her latent powers to eliminate the enemy. She sets sail across the Atlantic to explore her ancestral roots, entrusting Ena with leading the Southern Globe.
