new book

Dear All,

The New Books Network is a consortium of author-interview podcast channels dedicated to raising the level of public discourse by introducing scholars and other serious writers to a wide public via new media. Covering 90+ subjects, disciplines, and genres, we publish 55 episodes every week and serve a large, worldwide audience. We are about to celebrate the first anniversary of a parallel platform for interviews conducted entirely in Spanish.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Dear Colleagues,

H-World members may be interested in my new book Slave Revolt on Screen: The Haitian Revolution in Film and Video Games.  The book is available from UPM (Caribbean Studies Series) at https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/S/Slave-Revolt-on-Screen.

Dear colleagues,

I am happy to announce the publication of a book of cartoons about Abbasid Baghdad, starring book-loving author Popeye (al-Jahiz) and winebibbing poet Curly (Abu Nuwas), along with their friends Coral (a singing girl) and the Caliph of one of the world's most influential empires in history. Each episode is derived from historical sources, and designed to entertain, educate, and amaze.

It includes a short preface by Geert Jan van Gelder, as well as a bibliography and index. The full-colour pictures are inspired by illustrations of al-Hariri's Maqamat.

Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the publication of my new book by Cornell University Press.
