      by Jia Xing’an

Baipo Town, known as “the shabby Town”, is inundated with lawsuits, bully, poverty and outdated thinking. Both the Town secretary of the Party Committee and the township head were caught because of peeping at women peeing and getting caught adultery in the act by his wife, respectively. In order to thoroughly alter the mess, Wang Tiansheng, the legendary rural cadre with both skill and dash, was designated by the county Party committee as both the Town secretary of the Party Committee and the township head of Baipo Town. Appointed under such difficult circumstance, Wang Tiansheng carried out drastic reforms to combat corruption and deal with the chaos.

      Medieval afterlives

      Transforming traditions in Shakespeare and early English drama

      by Daisy Black, Katharine Goodland

      A collection of essays which show how early drama traditions were transformed, recycled, re-used and reformed across time to form new relationships with their audiences. Medieval afterlives brings new insight to the ways in which peoples in the sixteenth century understood, manipulated and responded to the history of their performance spaces, stage technologies, characterisation and popular dramatic tropes. In doing so, this volume advocates for a new understanding of sixteenth-seventeenth century theatre makers as highly aware of the medieval traditions that formed their performance practices, and audiences who recognised and appreciated the recycling of these practices between plays.

      Black socialities

      Urban resistance and the struggle beyond recognition in Paris

      by Vanessa Eileen Thompson

      From author: This is a cutting-edge exploration of black urban politics in Parisian racialized working class and working poor districts, the formation of abolition geography, and the possibilities of new forms of political blackness. In Black Socialities. Urban resistance and the struggle beyond recognition in Paris, Vanessa E. Thompson argues that black urban politics in the French banlieues are multi-racial and spatially grounded towards abolition. Based on a close engagement with urban black activist practices against racial imagery in the city, policing and state racism, and housing insecurity, she shows how radical anti-racism goes beyond struggles for recognition and unfolds alongside new formations of political blackness that is based on urban conviviality. This form of black politics has much to teach us in this current conjuncture of liberal anti-racism and state recognition politics.
