A contemporary of Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and Ralph Ellison, Chester Himes wrote with perhaps more angry fire than his celebrated colleagues about black protagonists doomed by white racisim and self-hate. Among his writings is a series of hard-boiled detective novels featuring black detectives and a host of Harlem hustlers. The acclaimed Harlem series and much of his later work were written in France where Himes lived as an American expatriate from 1953 until his death in 1984. Exhaustively researched and well constructed, this comprehensive bibliography clears up mysteries and...

Rose investigates how a single text, adapted many times in the past century, can serve to elucidate certain shifts in cultural attitudes. Providing an analysis of the relation between culture and performance, the author argues that Stevenson's adapters have infused the original story with concerns about issues of race, class, gender, and economics.

The book includes a case study illustrating how imagistic readings of Chekhov's "The Seagull" produce metaphorical productions. Kindelan addresses such controversial issues as...

Bankers focused on building confidence among the populace, increasing transaction speed, and increasing security of operations. They also developed special marketing mixes based on gender, age, and affinity groups. They were also aware of the need to develop a positive spirit among the bank staff to increase productivity and to create...
