A Global History of the Financial Crash of 2007–10
We have just experienced the worst financial crash the world has seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Hundreds of banks in the United States and Europe have been closed by their supervisory authorities, forcibly merged with…

The Anthology of Babel
Why should there only be literary scholarship about authors who actually lived, and texts which exist? Where are the articles on Enoch Campion, Linus Withold, Redondo Panza, Darshan Singh, or Heidi B. Morton?

Affective Intellectuals and the Space of Catastrophe in the Americas
Most importantly, the book shows how literature constitutes an alternative public sphere for Black people. In a society largely controlled by white supremacist actors and institutions, Black authors have conjured fiction into a space where hard questions can be asked and answered and where the work of combatting collective, racist suppression can occur without replicating oppressive hierarchies…

The Roman Empire Roots of Imperialism
A millennium and a half after the end of the period of its unquestioned dominance, Rome remains a significant presence in western culture. This book explores what the empire meant to its subjects. The idea of Rome has long outlived the physical empire that gave it form, and now holds sway over vastly more people and a far greater geographical area than the Romans ever ruled. It continues to sha…
