Book Description
A daring collaboration among scholars, Black Sexual Economies challenges thinking that sees black sexualities as a threat to normative ideas about sexuality, the family, and the nation. The essays highlight alternative and deviant gender and sexual identities, performances, and communities, and spotlights the sexual labor, sexual economy, and sexual agency to black social life. Throughout, the writers reveal the lives, everyday negotiations, and cultural or aesthetic interventions of black gender and sexual minorities while analyzing the systems and beliefs that structure the possibilities that exist for all black sexualities. They also confront the mechanisms of domination and subordination attached to the political and socioeconomic forces, cultural productions, and academic work that interact with the energies at the nexus of sexuality and race. Contributors: Marlon M. Bailey, Lia T. Bascomb, Felice Blake, Darius Bost, Ariane Cruz, Adrienne D. Davis, Pierre Dominguez, David B. Green Jr., Jillian Hernandez, Cheryl D. Hicks, Xavier Livermon, Jeffrey McCune, Mireille Miller-Young, Angelique Nixon, Shana L. Redmond, Matt Richardson, L. H. Stallings, Anya M. Wallace, and Erica Lorraine Williams

Book Description
This exquisite novel tells the story of one of the most compelling heroines in modern literature--Emma Bovary. "Madame Bovary has a perfection that not only stamps it, but that makes it stand almost alone; it holds itself with such a supreme unapproachable assurance as both excites and defies judgement." - Henry James Unhappily married to a devoted, clumsy provincial doctor, Emma revolts against the ordinariness of her life by pursuing voluptuous dreams of ecstasy and love. But her sensuous and sentimental desires lead her only to suffering corruption and downfall. A brilliant psychological portrait, Madame Bovary searingly depicts the human mind in search of transcendence. Who is Madame Bovary? Flaubert's answer to this question was superb: "Madame Bovary, c'est moi." Acclaimed as a masterpiece upon its publication in 1857, the work catapulted Flaubert to the ranks of the world's greatest novelists. This volume, with its fine translation by Lowell Bair, a perceptive introduction by Leo Bersani, and a complete supplement of essays and critical comments, is the indispensable Madame Bovary.

Jeremy Callahan has been in love with his next door neighbour, Miranda Valentine, since he was fifteen years old. As a teen, he used to watch her, fantasising about how he could make her his. But he never acted on it. Miranda was older, married, and out of his league. Forced to return home ten years later after being injured on a photo shoot, all those old feelings return, and this time there's no reason to keep them at bay.

Jeremy's young, handsome and makes her feel more than anyone has ever before. But she knows he can't want the same things she does. Surely he isn't ready to settle down and start a family, but she's running out of time. Will her dream of being a mother keep her from the man she loves? Or can they find some middle ground where they can both get everything they desire?

Book Description
I can?t help myself around my husband?s bullying boss?whatever he wants from me, he takes. Then he demanded I take off my panties in the middle of a crowded dance floor when my husband was only a few feet away. I didn?t expect him to show them to Todd and brag about what he planned to do to me! Why does the possibility of getting caught excite me so much? ~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~ After my shower I?d slipped on a long, light blue summer dress decorated with large white flowers. It was going to be a hot day and I didn?t plan on going anywhere, so I didn?t bother with underwear. The feel of the warm air blowing under my dress was amazing. But instead of being calmed, I felt even more like laying on the bed and finishing what I?d started in the shower. When the doorbell rang, I thought it was the delivery guy. I opened the door without looking and stepped back in surprise when I saw Jerry grinning at me. ?Is that how you treat your lover?? he asked. I backed up startled, my hand over my heart. Jerry turned in a complete circle, checking to see if anyone was watching. ?What will your neighbors say. ?A strange man is standing in front of Pamela?s open door. I wonder who he is??? Jerry mused. ?Please, come inside,? I begged him. I couldn?t afford a neighbor blabbing to my husband. ?Tell me what I can do to you, first,? he said. ?Please, just come inside,? I was in danger of becoming hysterical. ?Tell me first, and make it loud enough for me to hear,? he insisted. ?You can do anything you want,? I said. ?Louder, and who can I do anything to?? ?You can do anything you want to me, just please come inside,? I almost shouted. Jerry stepped through the door. ?Pretty dress - take it off,? he said. Why did his arrogance turn me on? Telling the entire neighborhood he could do anything he wanted to me had been exciting. Being ordered to get naked caused me to ache for him. This time, we were in my sunlit kitchen. Our kitchen, mine and Todd?s, but I was naked in front of another man. I felt like I should hide myself but I didn?t do it. I wanted to be displayed for him. I could feel erotic spasms coming from the center of my body. ?Beg me to use you,? he said. I wanted to refuse; how dare he ask me to beg him to treat me like a common whore would? ?Please use me, Jerry.?
