Tracing the Relationship between Inequality, Crime and Punishment

Ethical Implications of Shakespeare in Performance and Appropriation
Bringing together the discrete fields of appropriation and performance studies, this collection explores pivotal intersections between the two approaches to consider the ethical implications of decisions made when artists and scholars appropriate Shakespeare. The essays in this book, written by established and emerging scholars in subfields such as premodern critical race studies, gender and sexuality studies, queer theory, performance studies, adaptation/appropriation studies and fan studies, demonstrate how remaking the plays across time, cultures or media changes the nature both of what Shakespeare promises and the expectations of those promised Shakespeare. Using examples such as rap music, popular television, theatre history and twentieth-century poetry, this collection argues that understanding Shakespeare at different intersections between performance and appropriation requires continuously negotiating what is signified through Shakespeare to the communities that use and consume him.

Pure America
"A well-told, richly contextualized investigation of an appalling episode in American history" ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Between 1927 and 1979, more than 8,000 people were involuntarily sterilized in five hospitals across the state of Virginia. From this plain and terrible fact springs Elizabeth Catte's Pure America, a sweeping, unsparing history of eugenics in Virginia, and by extension the United States. Virginia's eugenics program was not the misguided initiative of well-meaning men of the day, writes Catte, it was a manifestation of white supremacy. It was a form of employment insurance. It was a means of controlling "troublesome" women and a philosophy that helped remove poor p...

A History of the Ogdin Family in America, Including the Descendants of Ignatius and Mary Ogdin, 1750-1987
History and genealogy of the Ogden/Ogdin family. Members of this family originally emigrated from England in 1638 and settled in Stamford, Connecticut. The head of the family was John Ogden, and was known as "John Ogden of Rye", because he was associated with his father-in-law in a mill at a place of that name. Includes descendants of Ignatius Ogdin (died prior to 1800) and his wife Mary Riggs, who with their five sons settled in 1786 on land along the Ohio river in Harrison County, Virginia (Wood County created from Harrison in 1798).
What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia
An antidote to bigotry and a "perfect primer for readers seeking factual, realistic portrayals of the rural and working-class experience" ( Los Angeles Times). In 2016, headlines declared Appalachia ground zero for America's "forgotten tribe" of white working-class voters. Journalists flocked to the region to extract sympathetic profiles of families devastated by poverty, abandoned by establishment politics, and eager to consume cheap campaign promises. What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia is a frank assessment of America's recent fascination with the people and problems of the region. The book analyzes trends in contemporary writing on Appalachia, presents a brief history of Appalach...
