![]() ![]() By vividly recounting enslaved life through the experiences of individual women and illuminating their conditions of confinement through the legal, sexual, and representational power wielded by slave owners, colonial authorities, and the archive, Fuentes challenges the way we write histories of vulnerable and often invisible subjects. ![]() ![]() Marisa Fuentess compelling study of womens lives in and around Bridgetown leaves the reader with a clear sense of who these women were and how they navigated the terrain of a Caribbean slave society. In the process, Fuentes interrogates the archive and its historical production to expose the ongoing effects of white colonial power that constrain what can be known about these women.Ĭombining fragmentary sources with interdisciplinary methodologies that include black feminist theory and critical studies of history and slavery, Dispossessed Lives demonstrates how the construction of the archive marked enslaved women's bodies, in life and in death. Reviews ' Dispossessed Lives exemplifies the best new historical scholarship on slavery and gender. Fuentes takes us through the streets of Bridgetown with an enslaved runaway inside a brothel run by a freed woman of color in the midst of a white urban household in sexual chaos to the gallows where enslaved people were executed and within violent scenes of enslaved women's punishments. Fuentes creates a portrait of urban Caribbean slavery in this colonial town from the perspective of these women whose stories appear only briefly in historical records. ![]() In the eighteenth century, Bridgetown, Barbados, was heavily populated by both enslaved and free women. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Said Heidicker: “I’m beyond thrilled at the prospect of Mia and Uly romping onto TV screens to chill a wider audience with the importance of scary stories. “We’re thrilled to have the immensely talented Lena and Peephole Productions be a part of what we see as a true family classic based on this incredible, scary and heartfelt novel.” Jon Rutherford, President, Boat Rocker Studios Kids & Family, added, “Lena’s participation in this project further bolsters our strong slate of leading Kids & Family titles designed for global audiences.” Said Bob Higgins, EVP Content, Boat Rocker Studios, Kids & Family. “Kids aren’t daft - they know when we’re holding back the scary bits, so I’m so happy to be part of a great team to bring Christian’s book to life in a way that feels authentic.” “During our first meeting at Boat Rocker I was asked what I was interested in, and we started talking about horror for kids, how there is a space for this, and not to shy away from putting stuff out there that’s dark and smart,” said Headey. ‘House Of The Dragon’: HBO Reveals ‘Game Of Thrones’ Prequel In Production, Will Debut In 2022 Headey and Christian McKay Heidecker will exec produce with Boat Rocker Studios and Untitled Entertainment.

Return to the DFZ with a brand new series, introducingBy A Silver ThreadIn the world’s most magical metropolis where spirits run noodle shops and cash-strapped dragons stage photo-ops for tourists, people still think fairies are nothing but stories, and that’s exactly how the fairies like it. So good, so fun!"- TS Chan, Novel NotationsIn the world’s most magical metropolis where spirits run noodle shops and cash-strapped dragons stage photo-ops for tourists, people still. The inclusion of fairy lore just leveled up the already fascinating world of the DFZ. ![]() Immensely readable & instantly engaging, with new characters that you can't help loving. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here starts a somewhat rambling murder-mystery that takes Grant – and his colleague Police Constable Lesley May – all across London as they hunt the killer. ![]() Peter Grant is called in because things feel … off. This time, there’s been a murder, and the victim is lying bled out on the platform of an Underground train station. ![]() We’re taken back inside the Folly, the ad-hoc department headquarters for Grant and his master, Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who are called upon when things start getting … off. ‘Whispers Under Ground’ is the third in a series featuring Peter Grant, an officer in the Metropolitan Police and the last apprentice to the last sorcerer in London. So I’ll pretty much take any chance I can get to head back to a magical London, which was why I was so excited for Ben Aaronovitch’s latest novel. I’m sure I could be persuaded to read books set in other locales, but really, London is my favourite. Ever since I first read a Kate Griffin book I’ve developed a serious love for urban fantasy set in London. ![]() |
