Indonesia provides particularly interesting examples of gender diversity. Same-sex relations, transvestism and cross-gender behaviour have long been noted amongst a wide range of Indonesian peoples. This book explores the nature of gender diversity in Indonesia, and with the world's largest Muslim population, it examines Islam in this context. Based on extensive ethnographic research, it discusses in particular calalai - female-born individuals who identify as neither woman nor man; calabai - male-born individuals who also identify as neither man nor woman; and bissu - an order of shamans who embody female and male elements. The book examines the lives and roles of these variously gendered subjectivities in everyday life, including in low-status and high-status ritual such as wedding ceremonies, fashion parades, cultural festivals, Islamic recitations and shamanistic rituals. The book analyses the place of such subjectivities in relation to theories of gender, gender diversity and sexuality.

Winner of the 2015 Ruth Benedict Prize for Outstanding Edited Volume Sex, sexuality and sexual relationships are hotly debated in Indonesia, triggering complex and often passionate responses. This innovative volume explores these issues in a variety of ways. It highlights historical and newer forms of sexual diversity, as well as the social responses they provoke. It critiques differing representations of sexuality, pointing to the multiplicity of discourses within which sexuality and 'the sexual' are understood in modern-day Indonesia. Placing sexuality centre-stage and locating it within the specific historical context of the Reformasi era, this landmark volume explores understandings and practices across a wide variety of sites, focusing in on a diverse group of Indonesian actors, and the contested meanings that sexuality carries. Beginning with a substantive introduction and concluding with a scholarly reflection on key issues, the volume is framed around the four themes of sexual politics, health, diversity and representations. It seeks both to present new empirical findings as well as to add to existing theoretical analysis. This work fills an important gap in our understanding of the evolution and contemporary dynamics of Indonesian sexualities. It will be of interest to scholars and academics from disciplines including gender and sexuality studies, global health, sexual and reproductive health, anthropology, sociology and Asian studies.

A lively collection of poems, this book blends a native warmth with an intimate, conversational tone while keeping a raised cultural awareness. Favoring rhyme and meter in a number of memorable instances, this inaugural poetry compilation by an accomplished Welsh author also features longer, narrative free verse. With a keen eye, it analyzes culture--one's own and those of other nations--as well as character and the vagaries of relationships.

Celebrating the current resurgence of poetry by writers under 45 in Wales, this anthology is a snapshot of some of this exciting new talent in both the languages of Wales. Urban and rural, ironic and earnest, lyrical and lively, the poetry reveals there is plenty to get excited about. Among the thirty poets included are: Stephen Knight, Paul Henry, Sarah Corbett, Kate Bingham, Owen Sheers, Frances Williams, Catherine Fisher, Gwyneth Lewis, Oliver Reynolds, Don Rodgers, Ifor ap Glyn, Twm Morys, Elin Llwyd Morgan, and Meirion McIntyre Huws.

"Mothers! Women! When the years pass by and the wounds of war are stanched; when the memory of the sad and bloody days dissipates in a present of liberty, of peace and of wellbeing...speak to your children. Tell them of these men of the International Brigades." Dolores Ibarruri, 'La Pasionaria, ' Madrid 1938. Almost 200 Welshmen volunteered to join the International Brigade and travelled to Spain to fight fascism with the Republicans during the 1936-1939 Spanish Civil War. Whilst over 150 returned home, at least 35 died during the brutal conflict. You Are Legend is their remarkable story. Lovingly and thoroughly researched by Graham Davies, You Are Legend outlines the motives, values, and actions of the volunteers from Wales by exploring the social, cultural, religious, and political context of Wales during the 1930s. It also provides a fascinating insight into who they were and their political backgrounds, and follows their journeys to Spain and their experiences in a series of key battles fought by the British Battalion before documenting their deaths or safe return to Wales. Politically active as trade unionists, members of the Communist or Labour parties, and hunger marchers, many were unemployed miners and most were working class with the fighting spirit of the coalfield and the impoverished. Unprepared and sometimes incredulous, these volunteers became immersed in a civil war which created a rupture in the heart of Spain that has never fully healed. You Are Legend is the first book to fully document all of the Welsh volunteers.

Gregory of Neocaesarea: aka Gregory Thaumaturgus and Gregory the Wonderworker.

Gregory of Neocaesarea was the bishop of the city of Neocaesarea in the Roman province of Pontus, located in Anatolia (modern Turkey). We are well-served with information on Gregory's life, with autobiographical, historical, and legendary material from which to draw. From these sources we can deduce that Gregory was born into a well-placed family in eastern Pontus. Although his father died when he was only 14 years old, his mother ensured he obtained a good Greek education. Not only that, circumstances meant that Gregory studied both Roman laws in Phoenicia and Greek philosophy in Palestine, where he was the student of Origen, the famous Christian philosopher. On returning home to Neocaesarea, Gregory showed himself to be a man of great qualities, and eventually found himself appointed as the leader of the church in that city. Under his leadership, the churches in that region grew from strength to strength. He confronted and overcame the prevailing traditional religion and strongly asserted the claims of the Christian religion. His life and work demonstrate the strength of the Christian Church in the second half of the third century A.D.

Gregory is primarily known as a "wonder-worker," and to have converted the people of his region through the impact of the wonders he performed. For modern readers this can be a problem, but does not have to be viewed this way. The introduction of Christianity has changed the way in which Westerners, in particular, view the world. However, our world is quite different from Gregory's world, so in order to understand the impact Gregory had upon his society it is first necessary to try to understand that society. It was very old, and relatively stable, despite the political changes that had taken place in Anatolia over the previous two millennia. While our sources for understanding the traditional society in which Gregory lived are limited, by scanning the whole period we can at least gain some understanding of the circumstances that led the people of the province of Pontus to convert to Christianity, and to abandon their traditional religion. They did this in large numbers, particularly during Gregory's lifetime. In this regard, it is important to realise that Gregory offered the ordinary people of his province a way to escape the limitations of the old ways, and to take on a new "more philosophical" way of life by embracing the teachings of Christ.

Gregory faced significant difficulties. His activities were conducted in the full light of the Roman authorities. In this regard, it is useful to track the changes that took place in that empire, and the nature of the inevitable clash between the Church and the Roman Empire. Today there is little recognition of the extent to which Christianity was on the move during the third century A.D., particularly in Anatolia. As a result, we should not view the Church's conflict with the Roman State as an aberration, but rather consider that it reflected the state's response to the challenge Christianity presented to the worldview of the Roman leadership. They believed that the ancient gods of all the peoples of the empire had made Rome great, but the Christians refused to worship these ancient gods, or even to respect them. Gregory fell into the thick of this, facing up to the period of persecution under Emperor Decius (249-251), and then another period of persecution late in the reign of Emperor Valerian (253-259). While Decius' attack appears to have been superficially successful in cowing the Christians, it would also appear that the Church emerged stronger in the following decade than it was before. This particularly applies to Gregory's own region, the province of Pontus.

In Search of a Better Life challenges the traditional histories of British and Irish migration, the stories of oppression and exile that form an essential part of the existing literature. By no means were all migrants forced to leave their country by circumstances; many looked forward to a better life abroad. They were largely opportunists rather than victims, whether financed by the state or by landlords or philanthropists, or, as was the case for the majority, by themselves or their families. This was a huge movement of people that formed part of a European exodus to the New World. In placing British and Irish migration alongside each other, there is recognition of the commonalities among both sets of emigrants that will surprise many readers. The poor condition of labourers in 1840s Dorset and Wiltshire were akin to those found in County Cork during the Famine years. British and Irish emigrants were commonly found on the same ships en route to the Americas and Australasia, both settling in predominantly English-speaking countries. With case studies by a variety of contributors, set within the broader context of current scholarship, this compilation features new research on a popular subject which still resonates today. It will prove particularly useful for family historians.

This is the sequel to the first volume of Ancient Hebrew Inscriptions: Corpus and Concordance, published in 1991. It contains some 750 inscriptions from the Old Testament period which were mainly published for the first time between 1990 and 2000. Some were discovered in regular archaeological excavations, others come from private collections. The new material includes ostraca from different sites, which are of religious, literary and historical importance, and extensive information about the personal names which were in use in the biblical period. The number of coin-legends and other texts from the Persian and early Hellenistic periods has also been enlarged. Each text is supplied with a brief description, an approximate date and publication information. The concordance provides an easy way to discover which Hebrew words and proper names occur in non-biblical sources and helps greatly to widen the basis for Hebrew language study.
