Skylar is used to the way people think of him as frightening, mean, and dangerous. Snakes are not the most popular shifters around and the fact he grew up wild doesn't help. He knows the way he's chosen to live alone in the woods only makes things worse, but he didn't think it meant people thought him capable of killing a couple of wolf puppies. Determined to find the real monster who left them to die, Skylar calls up the only wolf he knows, a man he always wished would see him as more than a snake...

Skylar est habitué à ce que les autres le trouvent effrayant, mesquin, dangereux, voire même malveillant. De tous les garous, les serpents ne sont pas les mieux vus, et le fait qu'il ait grandi dans la nature ne joue pas en sa faveur. Il sait que la vie qu'il s'est choisie, isolé dans les bois, ne fait qu'aggraver la situation, mais il n'aurait jamais cru que cela en viendrait à ce que ses pairs le croient capable d'assassiner deux louveteaux. Déterminé à trouver le vrai monstre qui les a abandonnés, Skylar appelle le seul loup-garou qu'il connaisse, un homme qui, à son grand regret, n'a jamais vu en lui qu'un vulgaire serpent...

Whittaker cuts through the emotive language to give an objective introduction to the subject.

This comprehensive collection provides a fascinating summary of the debates on the growth of institutional care during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Revising and revisiting Foucault, it looks at the significance of ethnicity, race and gender as well as the impact of political and cultural factors, throughout Britain and in a colonial context. It questions historically what it means to be mad and how, if at all, to care.

This ethnographic book enhances our understanding of asylum screening, an area of immigration that is often overlooked and remains under-researched. Falsely perceived as a one-dimensional function of static state power, it is here revealed that asylum decisions at borders respond to a complex cultural construction, saturated by a meta-message of disbelief, denial and moral panics. The author demonstrates that immigration officers’ work patterns, behavior and decisions are informed by such stereotyping, which has led to asylum narratives being interpreted in the light of concepts of social acceptability and rejection. Establishing a parallel with law enforcement, the author argues that this process replicates a professional world of categorization and control, forged within an autonomous immigration service subculture. This timely work will appeal to students and scholars of migration studies, identity and ethnic studies, social anthropology, sociology, law and policy studies.

This book explores complex relations between violence, historical memory, and the production of "ethnicity" and "race." Some essays analyze the panicked "othering" that has led to violence against Chinese Indonesians, and to the little-known massacres of Hui Muslims in nineteenth century China and of Cheju Islanders in Korea in 1948.
