Cambria Press congratulates Professor Leo Daugherty (Mount Allison University) on the outstanding review of his book The Assassination of Shakespeare’s Patron in Sixteenth Century Journal, which praises “Leo Daugherty’s dedicated and meticulous scholarship and research processes” which “elucidates how the complex life and death of the Elizabethan, most known as Shakespeare’s patron, was a lightning rod for the momentous political, cultural, and historical currents of the time.” The review further adds that “The book is useful in combining scholarly and investigative techniques with its attention to facts and details, and with the inclusion of seemingly unconnected aspects of the case/culture” and lauds it because “the book represents the best aspects of primary research and historical scholarship.”

Cambria Sinophone World Series (general editor: Victor Mair)–NEW! Chinese Ethnic Minority Oral Traditions: A Recovered Text of Bai Folk Songs in a Sinoxenic Script

sinophone Victor Mair Cambria Chinese Ethnic Minority Bai Asian Studies AAS

In 1958 while conducting fieldwork in Yunnan, a professor came across a ricepaper booklet with strange script created from Chinese characters. This turned out to be a folksong booklet in Old Bai script. She safeguarded it carefully through the tumultuous Mao years until the 1990s, when the political environment had relaxed enough for her to conduct full-scale ethnographic research. Very few such texts remain, and what makes this booklet even more valuable is that it records songs that have already disappeared, including some with sexually explicit content.

In this unprecedented book on the oral traditions of the ethnic minority of China representing decades of painstaking research, the Old Bai script has not only been transcribed and translated in both English and Chinese but each page from the original booklet has also been reproduced.

This book is an essential addition to all collections in Asian studies, linguistics, folklore, and musicology.

Hispania Praises Transforming the Enemy in Spanish Culture for Being “Extensively Researched” – Read the Outstanding Book Review

hispania Cambria Press Lauren Beck Transforiming the Enemy in Spanish Culture

Cambria Press congratulates Professor Lauren Beck (Mount Allison University) on the outstanding review of her book Transforming the Enemy in Spanish Culture: The Conquest through the Lens of Textual and Visual Multiplicity in the journal Hispania, which states that “the appeal of this book should be as broad as its subject matter; it could easily find a home on the bookshelf of the specialist, the student or just the interested reader in Latin American history, European history, comparative cultural studies, religious studies, or art.” One reason why is that “Beck offers an examination both broad and deep”; the review also adds that “this work has been extensively researched.”

Cambria Press New Book! Fearless Femininity by Women in American Theatre (1910s to 2010s) by Lynne Greeley

Women Theatre
Fearless Femininity by Women in American Theatre (1910s to 2010s) by Lynne Greeley is now available!

Excerpts from Fearless Femininity by Women in American Theatre (1910s to 2010s) by Lynne Greeley; this book is in the Cambria Contemporary Global Performing Arts by John Clum (Duke University):

On the performance of the feminine no longer belonging to men:
“From the beginning of the twentieth century, when women were claiming the right to be in a public space while keeping their private reputations intact, to the beginning of the twenty-first century, when female artists claim and display their own bodies by choice, artists in American theatre have proved that the performance of the feminine no longer belongs to a mystique created by men but to the women who choose to be and do and sell as they please.”

On the idea of femininity:
“Whether contemporary females, transgender, or queer people love, hate, or are indifferent to the idea of femininity, their cultural conditioning creates personal responses to it that are rarely neutral. What is new about this writing is the demonstration of the intimate relationship between femininity and feminism, a combination that has created a century of powerful—and not always feminine—feminists.”
