This book provides a multidisciplinary analysis of the impact of
Brexit on British agriculture and associated areas, discussing the
Common Agricultural Policy and the Agriculture Act 2020. The Brexit
referendum provoked new debates and questions over the future of
agriculture in Britain and the potential positive and negative
impacts of Brexit on both farmers and consumers. These debates, as
well as the ensuing proposals relevant to the Agriculture Act 2020,
have exposed the multidimensional effects of Brexit when it comes
to agriculture. With a focus on profitability, the rights of
farmers, environmental protection, as well as animal welfare, this
book brings together an interdisciplinary analysis of the future of
British agriculture in post-Brexit Britain. More specifically, it
addresses the criticisms over the Common Agriculture Policy,
presents an analysis of the Agriculture Act 2020, and considers
suggestions for future developments. Through this analysis, the
book suggests a way towards the future, with a positive outlook
towards a competitive and sustainable agriculture that will satisfy
the needs of farmers and consumers while ensuring environmental
protection, animal welfare, and rural development. This book will
be of great interest to students and scholars of food and
agricultural policy and politics, agroecology and rural
development, as well as policymakers involved in Britain’s
post-Brexit environmental policy.

The Boys in the Band's debut was revolutionary for its fictional
but frank presentation of a male homosexual subculture in
Manhattan. Based on Mart Crowley's hit Off-Broadway play from 1968,
the film's two-hour running time approximates real time, unfolding
at a birthday party attended by nine men whose language, clothing,
and behavior evoke a range of urban gay ""types."" Although various
popular critics, historians, and film scholars over the years have
offered cursory acknowledgment of the film's importance, more
substantive research and analysis have been woefully lacking. The
film's neglect among academics belies a rich and rewarding object
of study. The Boys in the Band merits not only the close reading
that should accompany such a well-made text but also recognition as
a landmark almost ideally situated to orient us amid the highly
complex, shifting cultural terrain it occupied upon its release-and
has occupied since. The scholars assembled here bring an
invigorating variety of methods to their considerations of this
singular film. Coming from a wide range of academic disciplines,
they pose and answer questions about the film in remarkably
different ways. Cultural analysis, archival research, interviews,
study of film traditions, and theoretical framing intensify their
revelatory readings of the film. Many of the essays take inventive
approaches to longstanding debates about identity politics, and
together they engage with current academic work across a variety of
fields that include queer theory, film theory, gender studies, race
and ethnic studies, and Marxist theory. Addressing The Boys in the
Band from multiple perspectives, these essays identify and draw out
the film's latent flashpoints-aspects of the film that express the
historical, cinematic, and queer-political crises not only of its
own time, but also of today. The Boys in the Band is an accessible
touchstone text in both queer studies and film studies. Scholars
and students working in the disciplines of film studies, queer
studies, history, theater, and sociology will surely find the book
invaluable and a shaping influence on these fields in the coming
years.
"The book is heartily significant, featuring work that is
sometimes surprising, sometimes frustrating and sometimes
exhilaratingnot unlike the Web itself."--"Los Angeles Times Book
Review"
"There is good work here. Perhaps that's all that needs to be
said."--"Fiction Writers Review"
