Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will Masters received a phone call late this morning that would change his life forever and for the better, he thought. As a reporter on the Arkansas Tribune, he had been complacent with the mundane, the local stories that led his career nowhere but were everywhere in excess. This particular morning would change this particular aspect of his chosen field of work, he believed. A famous scientist, a recipient of the Nobel Prize, which mysteriously was never collected was on the other end of the line requesting an interview with him. With him! The man had disappeared years before without a trace and as suddenly, reappeared at Will’s desk on his phone. Will’s reaction was immediate. To the man's location he drove, a hundred miles away to a remote cabin where, unbeknownst to Will, an unfolding would take place and would send his life careening off a cliff spiraling downward into a place he didn't know existed, into a world that only existed in legend and myth. The mundane was over in his life and a spiritual awakening awaited him, luring him into a life that would never be the same again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Gender and Borderlands maps the relationship between gender and borderlands at a global scale and sets the agenda for developing a global composite field of gender and borderlands studies. This interdisciplinary collection seeks to understand the complex nexus at which gender and the borderlands intersect, modelling radical relationality at epistemological, ontological, and activist levels. Going beyond border studies’ frequent site at the U.S.–Mexico Border, this book examines the power relations of borderlands as they play out in, influence, and reflect gender dynamics. Contributors draw on case studies from around the world, and their chapters span diverse fields from anthropology, literature, and history, to political science, religious studies, sociology, and the arts. The Routledge Companion to Gender and Borderlands is an indispensable resource for scholars and students engaged in border studies, gender studies, and the wide range of interlocking disciplines that inform and enrich these fields.
