Feature-length BBC drama depicting the relationships between former
British prime minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) and American
president Bill Clinton (Dennis Quaid). Set in the pre-9/11 years
from 1994 to 2001, the film focuses on the international presence
of Blair in relation to his American ally. While Clinton is almost
toppled from power by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Blair continues
to strengthen his position, moving seamlessly from being Clinton's
acolyte to his equal, and eventually his moral superior in the
aftermath of Kosovo.
This anthology - the first of its kind in eight years - collects
some of the best and most current research and reflection on the
complex interactions between religion and computer-mediated
communication (CMC). The contributions cohere around the central
question: how will core religious understandings of identity,
community and authority shape and be (re)shaped by the
communicative possibilities of Web 2.0? The authors gathered here
address these questions in three distinct ways: through
contemporary empirical research on how diverse traditions across
the globe seek to take up the technologies and affordances of
contemporary CMC; through investigations that place these
contemporary developments in larger historical and theological
contexts; and through careful reflection on the theoretical
dimensions of research on religion and CMC. In their introductory
and concluding essays, the editors uncover and articulate the
larger intersections and patterns suggested by individual chapters,
including trajectories for future research.

In a pluralistic world where the tendency is to dismiss or silence
ethnic and racial differences, Africentric Approaches to Christian
Ministry: Strengthening Urban Congregations in African American
Communities offers invaluable insight into the ordering of urban
congregational life, Christian ministry, and urban missiology from
a worldview perspective that values the centrality of African
people. Theological leaders and framers of African American
religious studies, such as the following persons provide
provocative insight for theological reflection and praxis: Gayraud
Wilmore (The Black Church); J. Deotis Roberts (Africentric
Christianity); Katie Geneva Cannon (Diaspora Ethics); and Cain Hope
Fielder (New Testament Studies). The opening and closing chapters
by co-editors Ronald Edward Peters and Marsha Snulligan Haney
provide a critical knowledge base that frames Africentric
Approaches to Christian Ministry. In light of the rapidly changing
nature of Christianity globally (non-Western and non-European),
this is a significant study on African American religious
consciousness and urban praxis.
New essays on the cultural representations of the relationship
between Britain and China in the nineteenth century, focussing on
the Amherst diplomatic problem. On 29 August 1816, Lord Amherst,
exhausted after travelling overnight during an embassy to China,
was roughly handled in an attempt to compel him to attend an
immediate audience with the Jiaqing Emperor at the Summer Palace of
Yuanming Yuan. Fatigued and separated from his diplomatic
credentials and ambassadorial robes, Amherst resisted, and left the
palace in anger. The emperor, believing he had been insulted,
dismissed the embassy without granting it animperial audience and
rejected its "tribute" of gifts. This diplomatic incident caused
considerable disquiet at the time. Some 200 years later, it is
timely in 2016 to consider once again the complex and vexed
historical andcultural relations between two of the
nineteenth-century world's largest empires. The interdisciplinary
essays in this volume engage with the most recent work on British
cultural representations of, and exchanges with, Qing
China,extending our existing but still provisional understandings
of this area of study in new and exciting directions. They cover
such subjects as female foot binding; English and Chinese pastoral
poetry; translations; representationsof the trade in tea and opium;
Tibet; and the political, cultural and environmental contexts of
the Amherst embassy itself. Featuring British and Chinese writers
such as Edmund Spenser, Wu Cheng'en, Thomas De Quincey, Oscar
Wilde, James Hilton, and Zhuangzi, these essays take forward the
compelling and highly relevant subject for today of Britain and
China's relationship. Peter J. Kitson is Professor of English at
the University of East Anglia;Robert Markley is W.D. and Sara E.
Trowbridge Professor of English at the University of Illinois.

David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike star in this romantic drama based
on the true story of an African prince who fell in love with a
white British woman in the 1940s. While studying in England, Prince
Seretse Khama (Oyelowo) meets Ruth Williams (Pike), a beautiful
young woman who immediately steals his heart. As the two begin a
highly controversial love affair, they battle every day against
prejudice and hate, hoping that their love will keep them together.
When the time comes for Seretse to go home to take his place on the
throne of Bechuanaland, he refuses to leave without Ruth and so the
two marry and return as husband and wife. With British government
official Alistair Canning (Jack Davenport) threatening Ruth with
the knowledge that her marriage could cause the downfall of the
British Empire in Africa, the couple do everything they can to
convince the world that they can be an interracial couple and still
successfully lead a country.

Through vivid and engaging narrative accounts, written and
collected by women, Women's Narratives of Health Disruption and
Illness: Within and Across Their Life Stories explores how women
experience the health disruptions and illnesses that span their
lives. The collection examines how women's broader and ongoing life
stories impact and are impacted by health disruptions and
illnesses. Organized into three parts, the chapters explore
"Beginnings" in which health disruptions and illnesses impact early
life, motherhood, and where early choices create the origins of
health issues that impact later life; "Middles" which explores
health experiences in and around middle age, or from the standpoint
in middle-age looking back and forth; and "Endings" which explores
narratives of ageing and end of life communication. Personal,
revealing, and often beautiful, the women's narratives featured in
this book will invite the reader into the stories and lives of
others, and toward the reflection, learning, and personal
transformation that comes from truly connecting with the
experiences of others. This book will be helpful for scholars of
communication, health, women's studies, family studies, and
sociology.
