Darkness Within-Magic Within
"Selena doesn't expect to be met at the airport by ruggedly handsome Special Agent Lambruzzi when she arrives in New Orleans to arrange for her murdered aunt's funeral.

The Struggle and the Urban South
Through the example of Baltimore, Maryland, David Taft Terry explores the historical importance of African American resistance to Jim Crow laws in the South's largest cities.

The essays in this groundbreaking anthology collectively reverse that trend, offering a re-definition of 'carnival' that focuses not on the hierarchy it temporarily displaces or negates, but a one that is rooted in the actual festival event. Carnival details its new theory in terms of a carnival that is at once representative and distinctive: The Carnival of Trinidad - the most copied yet least studied major carnival in the world.
