This reader features fifty extracts that shed light on minority and marginalized groups in ancient Rome. It opens with a section on the family--a topic central to Roman life but strangely marginalized in Roman literature--that covers family love, married love, children, marital discord and divorce, and women. The book then reaches out to those groups on the margin of Roman society: slaves, freedmen, foreigners, convicts, gladiators, and Christians. Each of the readings includes a brief introduction, followed by an extract selected from Cicero, Pliny, Petronius, Seneca, and other authors and in

Take Wall Street and the Supreme Court, throw in a corrupt cop, a loan shark and a hot dog vendor and you’ve got Margin Calls and Other Disasters. This story is true, intriguing and maybe even unbelievable at times, but when you finish reading it, any disaster that comes to mind now will be a faint memory. Did I give any thought to the consequences of suing an attorney for malpractice? What are the chances of a simple hot dog vendor arguing, let alone ever winning his own case in the Supreme Court? This story begins when I was a little boy whose father just happened to be a Marin

Feminist Theory established bell hooks as one of international feminism’s most challenging and influential voices. This edition includes a new preface by the author, reflecting on the book’s impact and the development of her ideas since it was first published. In this beautifully written and carefully argued work, hooks maintains that mainstream feminism’s reliance on white, middle-class, and professional spokeswomen obscures the involvement, leadership, and centrality of women of colour and poor women in the movement for women’s liberation. Hooks argues that feminism&#

Unlike traditional art works, installation art has no autonomous existence. It is usually created at the exhibition site, and its essence is spectator participation. Installation art originated as a radical art form presented only at alternative art spaces; its assimilation into mainstream museums and galleries is a relatively recent phenomenon. The move of installation art from the margin to the center of the art world has had far-reaching effects on the works created and on museum practice. This is the first book-length study of installation art. Julie Reiss concentrates on some of the ce

For eighteen years, Thailand’s HIV/AIDS was routinely depicted as the worlds’ fastest moving AIDS epidemic up until the early 2000s when the bulk of scholarly and medical literature portrayed it as being largely under control, and thus Thai anti-AIDS efforts over the decade of the 1990s as a success story. The author takes a critical look at the development of AIDS and at the analyses, which were generated over this period, of its nature, and comes to the conclusion that the "problem" of Thai AIDS has been constructed so as to legitimate specific forms of gender and class-based in
