Looking Like What You Are: Sexual Style, Race, and Lesbian Identity (Cutting Edge: Lesbian Life & Literature)
Lisa Walker Manufacturer: NYU Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0814793711 Release Date: 2001-04-01 |
Book Description
Looks can be deceiving, and in a society where one's status and access to opportunity are largely attendant on physical appearance, the issue of how difference is constructed and interpreted, embraced or effaced, is of tremendous import.
Lisa Walker examines this issue with a focus on the questions of what it means to look like a lesbian, and what it means to be a lesbian but not to look like one. She analyzes the historical production of the lesbian body as marked, and studies how lesbians have used the frequent analogy between racial difference and sexual orientation to craft, emphasize, or deny physical difference. In particular, she explores the implications of a predominantly visible model of sexual identity for the feminine lesbian, who is both marked and unmarked, desired and disavowed.
Walker's textual analysis cuts across a variety of genres, including modernist fiction such as The Well of Loneliness and Wide Sargasso Sea, pulp fiction of the Harlem Renaissance, the 1950s and the 1960s, post-modern literature as Michelle Cliff's Abeng, and queer theory.
In the book's final chapter, "How to Recognize a Lesbian," Walker argues that strategies of visibility are at times deconstructed, at times reinscribed within contemporary lesbian-feminist theory.

Technobabel (Shadowrun)
Fanpro Manufacturer: FanPro ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0451457110 |
Book Description
Renraku Computer Systems sends an agent to infiltrate the otaku, a race of techoshamans, and learn their secrets in order to gain advantage in a corporate war. But once the agent is initiaged into an otherworld of technomancy and megacorporate intrigue, he rebels against his employers in an attempt to stop the approaching war!Customer Reviews:
Awesome story, but requires previous Shadowrun exposure........2004-04-22
In addition to being one of the best of the SR novels, Technobabel is a good resource for experienced Shadowrunners in running one of the RPG's highest level of threat-rating adventures. This next section reviews that aspect of the book for gamemasters/players of Shadowrun RPG:
Technobabel gives some insight about the otaku tribes culture, reveals the origins of the enigmatic and powerful NPC, Ronin, and gives some details about the motivations of the Matrix group Overwatch. All of this is accomplished while giving a detailed account the events during the Renraku Arcology Shutdown, and the subsequent aftermath. This book changes the Shadowrun RPG landscape on as many levels as did Dunkelzahn's Assassination, the collapse of Fuichi Corp., and the Year of the Comet sourcebook.
It is required reading for any gamemaster planning on running the highly-lethal 3rd Edition adventure "Brainscan". You'll want to keep it off-limits to your players until after you run the adventure, as it spoils many of the arc's plot twists. FASA designed "Brainscan" so you pretty much need to also purchase the 2nd edition adventure "Renraku Arcology: Shutdown", and Technobabel to properly use it. Be aware that the Nanotechnology section of the "Man & Machine" sourcebook is set after the events in "Brainscan", so you might wish to suppress that chapter prior to running the adventure.

This book also repairs some of the flaws of Black Madonna. Oh, and that. . .personage. . .from B.M. should definately have known better than to mess with Lofwyr's corporate computer system (I guess ancient elves never learned to Never Deal with a Dragon).

Cavaliers and Roundheads: The English Civil War, 1642-1649

Customer Reviews:
A Good Introduction, But A Bit Hard to Follow.......2002-09-14
The book is well written and tends to present the story chronologically. The alignment of forces and shifting military advantages are explained. The ultimate arrest and trial of the King, followed by his execution, bring the war to its conclusion. The ascendency of Cromwell was brief and his reputation swiftly tarnished until his rehabilitation in the 19th century. The restoration of King Charles II lead to the veneration of Charles I as a martyr King.
The book is, largely, limited to a factual reporting of the events of the war. The explanation of the causes and results of the war are brief. There is little treatment of any underlying social causes or effects of the dispute between King and Parliament.
My rating of this work is fairly low because of the difficulty I had in following all the Dukes and Lords involved in the story. Perhaps a reader with a greater familiarity with this era of English history would find this work to be more interesting. I would rate it as a fair introduction to this period of history. It would probably better serve a reader a more prepared for an in depth study of the era.
