Richard Deming (1915–1983)
Authors: Herbert Rosemary 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Richard Deming’s tale of seduction and murder during a honeymoon cruise is a fine example of post-pulp magazine fiction that uses sexual tension to hook the reader. When Deming wrote “Honeymoon Cruise” at the age of fifty-one, he was already an experienced fiction and television writer, used to depicting enough sexuality to titillate the reader or television viewer without upsetting the censors. A native of Iowa, Deming served in the army and worked briefly as a social worker and for the Red Cross before becoming a full-time writer at the age of thirty-five. He used seven pseudonyms during a career in which he progressed from writing for pulps to digest-sized mystery magazines, then paperback original novels, and finally to novelizations of the Charlie’s Angels and Starsky and Hutch television series, written under the pseudonym Max Franklin. Under his own name, he turned out novels and short stories centered on the activities of the wisecracking Manville “Manny” Moon and hard boiled police procedurals featuring Matt Rudd, as well as novelizations of The Mod Squad television series. He also penned ten novels using the pseudonym Ellery Queen (as other authors did at the time) between 1962 and 1970. In addition, he wrote nonfiction volumes on subjects as diverse as American spies, civil and criminal law, sleep, and the metric system.
Edward D. Hoch (1930–)
Authors: Herbert Rosemary 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Edward Dentinger Hoch has said, 1always have my ears and eyes open for story possibilities, especially looking for odd and unusual facts.” Hoch’s ability to see life in terms of story ideas has made him a rare bird indeed: a writer who makes his living largely from writing short fiction. His publication of nearly 800 short stories is especially remarkable considering that this was accomplished during four decades when magazine markets were folding. At a time when most other writers of crime, mystery, adventure, westerns, fantasy, and science fiction-all genres that Hoch has explored-turned to the more healthy paperback or hardcover novel markets, Hoch continued to pro duce short stories of reliable quality that gained him recognition as “the most important post-World War II writer of mystery and detective short stories” (Critical Survey of Mystery and Detective Fiction, edited by Frank N. Magill). In fact, so steady is Hoch’s output that Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine has run a story by Hoch in every issue of the magazine from 1973 to the present. With the exception of two stories published in 1992, they were all newly written.
John Mortimer (1923–)
Authors: Herbert Rosemary 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Hilda Rumpole is determined to enjoy a second honeymoon on a cruise ship with her long-suffering husband, the “Old Bailey hack” Horace Rumpole. “She Who Must Be Obeyed” prevaiIs, and the two set out for a Mediterranean cruise, which becomes a busman’s honeymoon for the barrister when his shipmates-including a despised judge-are convinced that a passenger has mysteriously and suspiciously disappeared. This story proves again John Mortimer’s inimitable abilities to entertain while making a serious case for the fundamental tenets of British justice. It is also one of a corpus of stories so substantial that it can be considered a canon in the crime and mystery genre, as are the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Martin Edwards (1955–)
Authors: Herbert Rosemary 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A conference in Nottingham, England, the restoration of the underground headquarters of the Allied Command in Liverpool, and Martin Edwards’s legal expertise all led to the creation of this tale that turns on a point of law. Ac cording to Edwards, soon after he was invited to create an original story for this volume at the 1995 World Mystery Convention, or Bouchercon, in Nottingham, he took a tour of the World War II military nerve center. “I had an idea for my shipboard story then but going underground gave it more body,” Edwards recalled.
The African Imagination
Authors: Irele F Abiola 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This collection of essays by one of Africa’s leading scholars examines African literary traditions in the broad sense, and places the work of individual authors in context. Here F. Abiola Irele presents probing critical readings of the works of Chinua Achebe, Kamau Brathwaite, Amadou Hapae Ba, and Amadou Kourouma, among others. In addition to discussing texts central to the evolving canon of African literature, The African Imagination addresses both the growing presence of African writing in the global literary marketplace and the relationship between African intellectuals and the West.
Study in Ambiguity
Authors: Irele F Abiola 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The name of Amadou Hampaté Bâ, the veteran Malian scholar of African folklore and traditional culture, is now firmly associated with a famous remark he once made at a UNESCO conference in Paris concerning the oral tradition in Africa: “En Afrique, chaque fois qu’un vieillard meurt, c’est une bibliothèque qui est brûlée” (In Africa, each time an old person dies, it’s a library that burns down). The remark has acquired the status of an aphorism, expressing as it does, in graphic terms, the urgent necessity of collecting the oral tradition in Africa before its final disappearance with the last of its guardians, in whose memory its textual values are preserved. The import of the remark derives in the first place from what it demonstrates of the mode of existence of the oral text in Africa.
Return of the Native
Authors: Irele F Abiola 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In his book The Poet’s Africa, devoted to a comparative study of the poetry of Nicolás Guillén and Aimé Césaire, Josaphat Kubayanda moves from the general observation that “Africa is central to the Caribbean search for signification” to an examination of the ramifications of the African theme in the work of the two great Caribbean poets, not merely in its primary significance as a counterdiscourse to Western representations of the Black race but, more fundamentally, as a focus for an enlivening sense of antecedents beyond the degradation of slavery in the Afro-Caribbean consciousness. Kubayanda’s analysis demonstrates that, for both Guillen and Cesaire, Africa functions ultimately as a symbol of personal redemption and as a source of new poetic and spiritual values.
A National Voice
Authors: Irele F Abiola 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In considering the work of John Pepper Clark-Bekederemo, one of the most creative and forceful imaginative minds at work on the African continent today, it is perhaps best to start with a general observation, namely, that there are two distinct but related impulses behind his expression. The first is the necessity he felt to convey the uniqueness of his experience of place and time. It was not enough for him to write in an undifferentiated and falsely universal way; it was imperative rather to situate his expression so precisely, in terms of subject matter and specific references, as to impress upon it the mark of an individual consciousness in immediate and active relationship to its shaping environment. From this fundamental preoccupation derives the second impulse: to find the most adequate terms in which to capture the distinctive quality of his experience and thus to establish in his work both an individual vision and a personal tone of address. These impulses, as well as the particular circumstances in which Clark-Bekederemo’s work has evolved, have imposed upon him the demands of a constant experimentation with language and form, so that the continuous adjustment of his expressive means to an unfolding pattern of experience represents an essential part of his creative project.
Parables of the African Condition
Authors: Irele F Abiola 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is not, I think, too much to affirm that in the new literature of Africa expressed in the European languages, the correspondence is a direct one between the themes and preoccupations that have governed the direction of the creative imagination and the distinctive aspects of modern African experience. Indeed those aspects that have gone into the shaping of the modern African consciousness, as much in its bold and broad configurations as in its more intimate manifestations, have also determined the lines of articulation of our contemporary literature. In the process of expressing the tensions set up in our modern awareness by the varied and often contradictory elements of the collective experience, the literature has come both to reflect that experience and to carry its imprint in the modes and particular accents with which our writers have sought to formulate its manifold character and to register its significant moments. This literature has served both as a direct and objective representation of our modern experience as well as a symbolization of the states of mind in Tduced by that experience.
Barth and Bonhoeffer on the Worldliness of Revelation
Authors: Marsh Charles 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Bonhoeffer discovered Karl Barth’s theology sometime between his visit to Rome in the winter of 1924 and the beginning of work on Sanctorum Communio in the summer months of 1925.1 Bonhoeffer sounds very much the student of the Berlin school in his journal entry of August 1924: “I have a very interesting book, Max Weber’s Sociology of Religion After Weber I also propose to read Troeltsch’s The Social Teachings of the Christian Churches and to finish off Husserl-and, if I have time, to tackle Schleiermacher thoroughly.”2 However, in May and June of 1925 the tone of his journal entries and letters dramatically changed. He began reading works by Barth and by many of the other so-called dialectical theologians and, as Bethge says, an” ‘entirely new’ note crept in.”3 Bonhoeffer became such an admirer of Barth’s The Word of God and the Word of Man that he implored his mother to read it (which she read alongside Troeltsch, in whom her son had by now lost interest) and also presented a copy of the book as a gift to his god-father, Hans von Hase.
Looking Ahead: Toward a New Paradigm
Authors: Johnston Douglas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For all their diversities, there are certain properties that most of the major religions hold in common: the premise that self-centeredness is the source of most unhappiness, that help is needed to overcome this condition, and that there is a “divine ground” from which humankind has sprung and in relation to which one’s true worth is to be sought. Finally, and perhaps most important, they also contain some version of the Golden Rule. These represent significant commonalities on which to build in promoting interfaith dialogue and the nonviolent resolution of differences.
Denominationalism and the Black Church
Authors: Maffly-Kipp Laurie F 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Given the many pressing social, economic, and political concerns within the contemporary African-American community, one need not search far for explanations as to why denominationalism and its implications for mainline black churches have not been “front-burner” subjects of debate in recent years. Yet this apparent neglect has a much longer history. With the important exception of Carter G. Woodson, scholars of the twentieth century have, in general, demonstrated significantly less interest in black denominations than did their nineteenth-century counterparts.1 But the significance of denominationalism is a topic that bears reexamination in light of the current resurgence of interest in African-American religious history. Understanding the twentieth-century neglect of black denominations both provides important insights into their historical relevance and suggests new avenues for studying these religious institutions.
The Question of Denominational Histories in the United States: Dead End or Creative Beginning?
Authors: Long Charles H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I do not know exactly why I was asked to comment on the topic of denominational histories in the United States, since this has not been one of my scholarly areas of concern. As a matter of fact, the history of the Christian church in the United States, at least from a conventional point of view, has not occupied a great deal of my time. I suppose, therefore, that I was invited precisely because I might express views regarding the nature of religion in the United States that could enhance or offer alternatives to the present malaise in which research and writing in denominational histories find themselves. Whatever problems I have are probably shared by most of the contributors to this volume. I can best discuss them by asking several sorts of questions about the study of religion in the United States.
Remembering, Recovering, and Inventing What Being the People of God Means: Reflections on Method in the Scholarly Writing of Denominational History
Authors: Shipps Jan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The fire fed by the bodies of Bishops Latimer and Ridley in 1555 still burns, but scholarly studies of the Reformation seem almost to have reduced the story of how the blood of Anglican martyrs became the seed of English Protestantism to that lovely quotation from Foxe’s account in which Latimer told Master Ridley to “be of good cheer.” For, said he, “we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.”1 This is not to say that modern critical histories of the English Reformation entirely ignore religious matters or even that they completely neglect the story of the persecutions endured by the Protestants during Queen Mary’s reign. What happened where, when, and to whom is typically described, sometimes very well indeed. But modern scholars tend to look beyond religion for explanation, predicating the establishment of the Anglican Church on the crisis in the aristocracy, the politicization of the culture, the rise of the middle class, and other social factors.2 Similarly, the flame that warmed John Wesley’s heart flickers only faintly in the accounts of scholars who see the modernization of England in Methodism and use the Wesleyan movement to explain the “making of the English working class.”3
African Methodisms and the Rise of Black Denominationalism
Authors: Gravely Will B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At least since 1921, when Carter G. Woodson published his classic survey, History of the Negro Church, it has been commonplace to refer to religious separatism in the free black communities of the post-Revolutionary generation as “the independent church movement.”1 A quarter century earlier, Bishop James W Hood of the African Methodist Episcopal, Zion Church used a similar idiom to describe the origins of northern black congregations. Discounting denominational differences among antebellum black Protestants, Hood argued that a common racial bond made for “a general, grand, united and simultaneous Negro movement.” Regretting the scarcity of early sources and the absence of comprehensive histories, the bishop declared, “there was more in it than what appears on the surface,” for “it was a general exodus of colored members out of white churches.”2
“Denominational” Colleges in Antebellum America?: A Case Study of Presbyterians and Methodists in the South
Authors: Longfield Bradley J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Since the early settlement of Massachusetts Bay by English Puritans, Christians in America have sought to unite religion and learning through the founding of academies of higher education. The relationship between these schools and Protestant denominations in the years before the Civil War has become a matter of some debate among historians of higher education. For years, Donald Tewksbury’s claim that “the ‘denominational college’ was the prevailing American college of the middle period of our history”1 held sway and was widely echoed in general surveys. More recently, however, numerous scholars have been challenging the portrayal of antebellum colleges as “denominational” institutions. In an influential essay, David Potts, for example, claims that “there is good reason to anticipate that the traditional generalization concerning a basic trend from sectarianism toward secularism, when applied to American collegiate history during the nineteenth century, will have to be inverted.”
Denominational History as Public History: The Lutheran Case
Authors: Klein Christa R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Lutherans are burdened with expectations. In 1961 Winthrop Hudson wrote in the last paragraph of his bold American Protestantism that Lutherans might play an increasing role in the renewal of American Protestantism. Having been “insulated from American life for a long time,” Lutherans still had access to the resources of the Christian past through their confessional tradition, liturgical practice, and communal life.1 The question at hand—is there a difference in doing denominational history when the group under study bears certain ethnic and confessional traditions—probes more than historiography. It fingers unresolved expectations about a peculiarly Lutheran vocation in American culture.
Automobile Accidents
Authors: Dewees Don , Duff David , Trebilcock Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Injuries stemming from automobile accidents are the most numerous and costly of all personal injuries in North America. They are also one of the most fertile areas of current experience and debate regarding the role of the tort system and its alternatives. In 1989, roughly 5 million Americans experienced auto-related injuries, 47,000 of which were fatal.1 In Canada, more than 200,000 people were injured in motor vehicle accidents in 1985 and more than 6,000 died.2 To put these figures in perspective, between 1945 and 1985 more Canadians died as a result of automobile accidents (168,319) than the combined total of Canadians killed in both world wars (102,703)..The costs of these injuries are enormous. In 1985, the economic costs (medical expenses, wage losses, and other out-of-pocket expenses) of automobile injuries in the United States are estimated to have totalled $50 billion, .and another estimate assessed the 1986 costs at $74.2 billion.5 Further, despite steady decreases in the annual number of traffic fatalities in Canada and the United States since the mid-1970s, injury insurance costs have risen sharply during this period, increasing by about 140% in the United States from 1977 to 1987..Largely in response to liability premium increases, governments and policy makers have shown renewed interest in no-fault alternatives to tort law in this area, after a long period of inaction following the initial enactment of no-fault schemes in 16 U.S. states and the province of Quebec between 1971 and 1977. Ontario adopted a no-fault regime in 1989, and existing approaches to preventing and compensating automobile injuries have come under increasing scrutiny as policy makers seek empirical evidence to guide current policy choices. This chapter reviews this evidence on the tort system and on alternative methods of injury prevention and compensation.
Product-Related Accidents
Authors: Dewees Don , Duff David , Trebilcock Michael 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
During the mid-1980s most U.S. jurisdictions faced a crisis in the availability and affordability of liability insurance: premiums skyrocketed, sometimes by several hundred percent in one year; in some cases, coverage itself became unavailable. Total premiums for general liability insurance, which includes product liability, tripled in only 2 years in the mid-1980s, from $6.5 billion in 1984 to over $19.4 billion in 1986.2 Over the decade 1968-78, general liability insurance premiums written increased from $] .13 billion to $6.49 billion (a real annual growth rate of 8.8%). From 1979 to 1988, premiums increased from $6.61 billion to $19.08 billion (a real annual growth rate of more than 4%)..Between 1975 and 1989 the number of product liability claims filed annually in federal district courts increased from 2,393 to 13,408 (a 460% increase) and from 2.04 to 5.76 as a percentage of all federal civil cases over this period.. Average product liability jury awards increased from $195,020 in 1971 to $1,535,944 in 1988, and median awards increased from $71,500 to $405,000 over this period, an annual increase in real terms of between 4% and 6%..However, some scholars have argued that the perception of a crisis in product liability is unfounded. Corley and Hanson contend that empirical evidence does not support a negative interpretation of the above cited trends and that the expansion of product liability in fact furthers the deterrence and insurance goals of tort. While not disputing the statistics themselves, Corley and Hanson argue that the rise in insurance premiums represents an internalization of costs that had been externalized prior to liability expansion; thus, the rising costs of insurance and withdrawal of products from the market evidence a shift to a more efficient level of deterrence..
Selkirk the Town
Authors: Neville Gwen Kennedy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Selkirk is most beautiful from Peebles Road, set far across the meadow on the other side of the River Ettrick, a silhouette of rooftops and spires on the hillside above the river valley below. This is especially true in late spring and early summer when the meadows are in bloom and the sun comes out for some midday hours, brightening up the cricket field and rugby fields just past Phillipaugh, the ancient farm on burgh lands. One crosses the river over the bridge that when first built in 1820 was called the New Bridge and has been called that over several reconstructions. On the Peebles Road side of the river lies Bannerfield, the sprawling housing estate built after World War II to shelter a growing population. Just beyond the river is the mill haugh, built up since the early 1800s with textile cloth-manufacturing facilities of various types and sizes, now mostly buildings taken over by other kinds of businesses or used for other functions. Newer metal buildings cover spaces now devoted to Selkirk’s largest employer, Exacta Corporation, a maker of printed circuits for the computer industry, stretching along a road that was once the site of the “old toll.” Tannery, building yard, and garage sit near the area known as the “Green.” On a hill to the right at Heatherlie Park are two stately houses turned into hotels.
Anthropological Readings: Ritual, Symbol, and Experience
Authors: Neville Gwen Kennedy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Anthropologists addressing the problems of performance analysis, the analysis of ritual, play studies, and the literary criticism of cultural texts sometimes work out their own puzzles as if the pictures they are assembling have separate meanings and can be discussed in entirely separate segmented “schools” of puzzle solving in separate languages of conversation. In my own attempts to understand and describe analytically the intricacies of the common riding, I have often been led down one or another path toward these separate outcomes as if they are mutually exclusive or, in any case, mutually unintelligible. Yet time and again I am drawn back to the central feature of the event itself as a series of actions embedded in its own particular historical and social setting with its own separateness and integrity, fitting into an overall pattern of meanings and symbols over time and space. There is a real event here. There are real horses and riders, band members and flutes, walkers in processions, and so on. And these people and their celebration are not easily fitted into anthropologists’ categories, not easily explained by one or another pure and elegant theoretical system.
