Claude McKay's abandoned novel Romance in Marseille (circa
1929-1933), first published by Penguin Classics in February 2020,
has been praised as a new-old text that transcends historical
boundaries, resonating with both the present moment and the
hundred-year-old era of the New Negro. This special issue offers
the first-ever collection of academic essays on this novel, which
arrived as an instant classic: both a benchmark of the Harlem
Renaissance and a fresh statement that could have been written for
twenty-first-century readers. Using McKay's Romance as a critical
compass point, the authors map new directions and historical
territories in Black modernism, queer theory, disability studies,
Marxist/materialist thought, and other established and emerging
areas. Contributors Stephanie J. Brown, Nissa Ren Cannon, Zainab

Summer of 63 takes an enthralling, in-depth look at one of the
greatest transformations in football, as Don Revie moulded a Leeds
United side teetering on the brink of relegation to Division Three
into one of the most feared teams in Europe. Revie had arrived at
Leeds in November 1958, on the back of an illustrious playing
career with Leicester City, Hull City, Manchester City and
Sunderland. In March 1961, he was appointed player-manager at Leeds
before quickly taking over the reins as full-time gaffer. He
fashioned a team of experience and untested teenagers that quickly
developed into a force to be reckoned with. Summer of 63 uncovers
the truth behind the 'Dirty Leeds' tag that has prevailed for
almost 60 years. Gleaned from the private collections of photos,
telegrams and scrapbooks of players, and the testimonies of Leeds
and opposition fans, Gary Edwards presents an amazing account of
one man's vision to turn a failing side into the club's
greatest-ever team.
A true story of intrigue, mystery, blackmail and skulduggery, which
tells how one man was able to bring down an English Football League
club. In 1919, Leeds City player Charlie Copeland returned from
active service and made a request for a pay rise, which the club
steadfastly refused. During the war, guest players for League clubs
were supposed to have gone unpaid for their services, though in
general this FA law was overlooked as a nod to the war effort.
Copeland, however, issued the club with an ultimatum: either meet
his wage demand or answer to the FA for making illegal payments.
When Copeland carried out his threat and City proved reluctant to
produce their books for FA inspection, a complex web of deceit and
hypocrisy ensued. Subsequently, Leeds City were disbanded and
expelled from the Football League, the only club before or since to
receive such harsh punishment. However, out of the ashes of this
fallen institution emerged another, brand new club - Leeds United.
Fifty Shades of White is Gary Edwards's fifth book; and he returns
with more fabulous, rib-tickling tales that come with half a
century of following one of the most talked about football clubs in
the world. Like the time he was asked to accompany a
four-and-a-half-foot tall monk with a large hearing aid, who hadn't
previously left his abbey for 25 years, to a Leeds United game as
part of a BBC documentary. Or the time he escaped from hospital,
still in his hospital gown and attached to a catheter, a blood bag,
several needles and with two tampons stuck up his nose to travel 70
miles up the A1 in a thunderstorm for a relatively meaningless
Leeds game at Darlington. There is a fascinating, controversial and
hilarious insight into Leeds United's former owner Ken Bates,
gleaned from being a special guest at his birthday and Christmas
parties for eight consecutive years. Fifty Shades of White gives a
unique fan insight into the club and a life devoted to Leeds
United.

BOOK OF THE YEAR IN OLD TESTAMENT Old Testament Use of Old
Testament, by Gary Edward Schnittjer, surveys the hundreds of Old
Testament allusions within the Old Testament and provides
hermeneutical guidance for interpreting these interrelated
scriptures. The handbook takes an easy to navigate book-by-book
approach. Schnittjer provides a list of Scripture allusions for
each book and follows with an interpretive profile of how that book
uses passages from elsewhere in the Old Testament. Specific
criteria are applied to each allusion, providing readers with
evaluation of the significance of each interpretive allusion. Minor
allusions caused by style, figures of speech, and other minor
elements are not included. Responsible exegesis requires careful
attention to interrelated scriptures, yet there is a host of
interpretive difficulties related to Scripture's use of Scripture.
Designed for ease-of-use for any serious student of the Bible, Old
Testament Use of Old Testament offers a thorough, systematic tool
to aid in evaluating scriptural interpretation of Scripture. This
dynamic tool equips students of the Bible to: Understand how the
Old Testament uses the Old Testament Easily find the most important
Old Testament allusions Grasp the complexity of Scripture's use of
Scripture Evaluate the significance of interpretive allusions Gain
exegetical insight into the study of interrelated Scriptures
Fanatical is the story of football's number one superfan. Since
January 1968, Gary Edwards hasn't missed a single competitive Leeds
United match anywhere in the world. He's devastated to have missed
one friendly; although, rest assured, that was through no fault of
his own. On his 46-year (and counting!) adventure, this uniquely
passionate supporter has experienced dodgy mountainside coach
nightmares, bumpy flights on cheap airlines, and aggro just about
everywhere. From pink faces in Barnsley to disguises at Luton, from
behind the Iron Curtain to an eerie Nou Camp, from FA hypocrisy to
tragedy in Turkey, Fanatical is by turn funny, scary and
inspirational in its display of extreme love for football and the
mighty Whites. Enjoy this whistle-stop global tour to every club
Gary has visited ever since Derby County all those years ago - by

Teaching Hemingway and Race provides a practicable means for
teaching the subject of race in Hemingway’s writing and related
texts—from how to approach ethnic, nonwhite international, and
tribal characters to how to teach difficult questions of racial
representation. Rather than suggesting that Hemingway’s
portrayals of cultural otherness are incidental to teaching and
reading the texts, the volume brings them to the fore. Included in
the collection are Marc Dudley’s instruction on how students may
recognize “multiple selves at work in a textâ€; Margaret E.
Wright-Cleveland’s approach to In Our Time, informed by American
studies and women’s studies; and Ross Tangedal’s discussion of
imperialism in Hemingway’s two nonfiction books. Other topics
addressed include questions of developing vigorous learning
outcomes when teaching Hemingway, Hemingway’s fascination with
Latin America, teaching the Harlem Renaissance through Hemingway,
discussing Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home†and Langston
Hughes’s “Home†in tandem, discussing the black presence in
The Sun Also Rises, and a means for comparing how Jean Toomer,
Ernest Gaines, and Hemingway deal with the issue of race. This
latest volume in the Teaching Hemingway series includes ten essays
by leading scholars that place racial markers in their historical
context, while also illuminating those connections for scholars,
classroom teachers, and students. Readers will find it refreshing
and enlightening to encounter essays that juxtapose Hemingway’s
work alongside Alain Locke’s The New Negro and explore
Hemingway’s influence on Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Ralph
Ellison, Ernest Gaines, and other black writers.
