Harmless Amusements
Authors: Eglin John 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Political fallout in the aftermath of the American Revolutionary War resulted in renewed critical scrutiny of gaming culture. In the endgame and aftermath of the American Revolutionary War, the occasion of an outpouring of public anxiety, gaming became one focus of an attack on elite corruption, obliging that elite to undertake another effort at the comprehensive proscription of gaming, the first in four decades and the last until the Victorian era. This initiative was both aided and undermined by deeper and often first-hand knowledge of the structure of commercial gaming concerns, as well as by the centrality of gaming as a cultural practice among the political elite.
Toward the Victorian Reconfiguration of Gaming, and Afterward
Authors: Eglin John 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Victorian gaming act outlawed games of chance played for money in public or private, until the licensing of gaming venues became a reality from 1960. In considering the reasons that the sort of comprehensive proscription of gaming proposed in 1782 finally passed in 1845, the obvious answer would seem to be ‘Victorianism’: a wider acceptance of a commercially-oriented values system among the political and cultural elite, with a cult of work replacing a culture of leisure and an ethic of fiscal prudence supplanting an aesthetic of luxury and refinement. This final chapter explores how these changing sensibilities allowed the police to deploy innovative tactics and the judiciary to advance bold re-interpretations to curtail commercial gaming effectively.
“Free of Every Thing which Can Affect Its Purity”
Authors: Faherty Duncan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter charts how after the outbreak of the Haitian Revolution, the price for cane sugar skyrocketed. In the wake of the surge, a range of concerned northern politicians, amateur economists, and wealthy landholders promoted the “laborless” enterprise of maple sugaring as a countereconomy to cane, one which could divest the U.S. of dangerous connections to revolutionary plantations. The chapter decodes a lengthy maple sugar subplot within the most popular American gothic novel of the nineteenth century, Isaac Mitchell’s The Asylum; or, Alonzo and Melissa (1804/11). Mitchell equates maple sugaring with an idealized American identity by recording how patriots produced such products as “molasses, spirits, and sugar” during the Revolution from corn, carrots, beets, and maple sap. Reading Mitchell alongside a range of other ideologically sympathetic materials, this chapter reveals how the promotion of maple sugaring came to symbolize national economic independence and advanced an explicitly anti-plantocracy political agenda.
Transmitted to America
Authors: Faherty Duncan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter considers two American novels which unfold in Cape François during 1802. The first, Leonora Sansay’s Secret History; or, The Horrors of St. Domingo (1808), has been the primary touchstone for Americanist attempts to read the impact of Haiti on the early Republic. The second text, the pseudonymously published Zelica, the Creole (1820), reworks Sansay’s earlier novel to gauge how the function of Haiti in the U.S. American imagination shifted across the decade separating the two publications. In this regard, the chapter marks how earlier apprehensions of the socio-political effects of the Haitian Revolution (which fuel Secret History) evolved into more intimate fears (as registered in Zelica) over how it potentially destabilized American whiteness itself. Using Zelica and Secret History as measures of cultural restlessness in the face of an independent Haiti, this chapter argues that unease over Black freedom aggregated across the second decade of the nineteenth century.
Grammatical Universals?
Authors: Sharma Devyani 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter extends the analysis of the grammar of Indian English (IndE) in Part I to a comparison with Singapore English (SgE). We explore subtle grammatical differences and similarities between IndE and SgE that arose under distinct historical conditions. The chapter assesses competing accounts of why specific combinations of features developed in these two varieties. The findings reinforce the earlier conclusion that language transfer is the stronger source of change, with almost no evidence for broad universals. The two mechanisms of change proposed are direct substrate transfer, where the substrate (L1) involves overt and obligatory morphology and English offers no direct counterpart, and an indirect role of the substrate when the L1 lacks a form, leading to a reorganization of the grammar and novel “third grammar” systems.
The Role of Input
Authors: Sharma Devyani 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This final chapter on the grammars of New Englishes asks a less common question, namely: Why are some syntactic traits more well established in a given dialect than others? The substrate-based account presented so far is powerful when looking at individual features, but it proves to be too powerful when we look across the whole dialect. When we ask why only a subset of these forms has become entrenched over time, the substrate account overpredicts change. This chapter uses contemporary theories of second language acquisition (SLA) to argue that a full account of new dialect formation out of bilingualism must factor in the role of input in individual learning, and the effect of diminishing contact with the original colonial variety.
The Beam and the Mote
Authors: Lippert-Rasmussen Kasper 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Most believe (or at least respond, if subjected to hypocritical blame, as if they believe) that even if one has done something blameworthy, one can dismiss blame on that account when it comes from a hypocritical blamer. This book examines the nature and ethics of standingless hypocritical blame. It argues that hypocrites lack standing to blame by virtue of their lack of commitment to the norms to which they appeal in their blame; that hypocritical blame is pro tanto morally wrong because it involves treating the blamee as an inferior; and that there are many sources of lacking standing to blame other than hypocrisy, e.g., complicity. Next, the book extrapolates these analyses to other moral responses, notably praising and forgiving. So far the literature on standing has focused on blaming, but many other moral responses require standing as well, and, notably, there are such things as standingless—because hypocritical or otherwise deficient—praise or forgiveness. Indeed, it is argued that considerations about standing apply to illocutionary acts not involving appeals to moral norms, e.g., nonmoral encouragements and epistemic blame. In closing, the book uses insights in relation to the idea of standing as a basis for making a grand claim about how part of morality is interpersonal in a sense often ignored in discussions of the main first-order moral theories, e.g., consequentialism and deontology, and to elucidate the nature of the moral wrong involved in relying on negative statistical generalizations about certain groups of people.
An Introduction to High Impact Practices
Authors: Searcy Yan Dominic , Harden Troy 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter defines and frames high impact practices (HIPs) and their application to youth work. The authors identify the HIPs covered and set the tone for the book. Included are a definition and a discussion of circles as a HIP and how circles are differentiated from other types of group work. This discussion clarifies why circles as a HIP are at the center of effective interventions. The authors suggest that providing opportunities to promote agency and to allow youth to share in the ownership of components of youth programming is of critical importance to improve engagement. Their application of circles in multiple settings and with various program purposes confirms the results of prior research that circles promote positive youth development.
Postprogram Follow-up
Authors: Searcy Yan Dominic , Harden Troy 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Chapter 10 focuses on embedding program follow-up as a means to buttress sustained, long-term impacts. The chapter expands the idea of follow-up to include in-program preparation for youth transitions out of programming. Attention is given to framing the end of programming participation as a type of rite of passage to be recognized through a formal celebration. The chapter closes by suggesting that the social capital and care networks developed through the program itself allow for the postprogram utilization by youth. The ending of the program, in fact, is framed not only as a beginning but also with enduring psychic and social support.
Heavy Metal
Authors: Laycock Joseph P. , Harrelson Eric 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores how horror movies reflected and refracted a moral panic over heavy metal music that peaked in the 1980s. The Exorcist (1973) depicted “backmasking” and linked this concept to the demonic in the popular imagination. By the 1980s there were a series of lawsuits alleging that backmasked messages in metal albums caused suicides and musicologists were testifying about the influence of backmasking before congress. Many low-budget horror films from the 1980s depicted rock bands either committing murder or being murdered, as well as adolescents being influenced by backmasking and other supernatural effects associated with metal music. In 1993, this discourse contributed directly to the trial of the West Memphis Three and indirectly to the murder of “black metal” enthusiast Øystein Aarseth in Norway.
Conclusion
Authors: Laycock Joseph P. , Harrelson Eric 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The final chapter considers how “The Exorcist effect” has been amplified by social media and considers what can be done to mitigate this situation. The chapter examines the QAnon conspiracy theory as the most recent manifestation of The Exorcist effect. Many of the claims made by QAnon draw on horror films. In particular, the idea that political elites torture children to harvest “adrenochrome” appears to be entirely derivative of films. The authors suggest that while The Exorcist effect has caused demonstrable harm, the answer should not be censorship or restricting the artistic freedom of filmmakers. Instead, efforts should be made to educate the public and foster higher levels of media literacy.
Careering across the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Divide
Authors: Troyansky David G. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The chapter examines life histories from the Old Regime to the Restoration. Multiple careers bridged the revolutionary and Napoleonic divide. Individuals juxtaposed national history and their own experiences, as they sought stability in time of revolution and war, and they pushed the ministry into responding to their demands. It looks at multiple narratives, seeing how claimants patterned their life histories, presenting the corps as intermediary between individual and nation, and engaging in a process of self-fashioning and life review. It reports on exemplary lives, often rooted in Old Regime values, that construct the French historical background, from Revolution and Napoleonic interlude to Restoration.
Entitlement and Complaint
Authors: Troyansky David G. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The chapter explores magistrates’ writing, their style, their pathos and melodramatic complaint, and the prosaic accounting and formulaic claims of professional dignity in the Napoleonic era and early Restoration. It explores the moral language of honor and merit and the practical language of need, and describes how life-course events and historical circumstances prompted individual demands. Meanwhile, institutional demands encouraged self-consciousness and representation of the career according to expected norms. It considers the medicalization of late life, as magistrates and their physicians employed a medical discourse concerning diseases of the sedentary life. The language of retiring magistrates looks ahead to a range of gerontological models: disengagement, decline, activity, creativity, and narcissism.
Calling Out Racism in Social Work
Authors: Whitaker Tracy R. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
One of the many responses to the social justice and antiracist movement that has swept the country is the directive to “call it out.” However, whether one chooses to “call it out” often depends upon multiple factors including the relationship and power dynamics between the parties and the potential consequences of such action. Within social work practice and academic circles, the challenge to “call it out” is even more acute. Although there is significant movement and seemingly goodwill toward the ideals of an antiracist profession, the universal summons to “call it out” is not without its accompanying burdens and potential repercussions. This chapter identifies behaviors and responses that continue to serve as barriers to the development of an antiracist social work agenda, as well as challenge social workers to strengthen their abilities to move wholeheartedly toward antiracism.
Survival and Resistance in the Academy
Authors: Alvarez Antonia R. G. , Dove Lakindra Mitchell , Mehrotra Gita R. , Rodriguez-Jenkins Jessica , Hunte Roberta , Ouanesisouk Trinidad Alma M. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, women of color (WOC) faculty at a predominantly White university reflect on their experiences resisting and surviving White supremacy within social work education. Segments of dialogue and other nontraditional forms of writing are included to honor their own multiple ways of knowing and being, as they describe practices of relationship and community care as activism. The authors posit that their existence, survival, and voices in the spaces of social work academia are in and of themselves acts of resistance that disrupt White supremacy and challenge dominant culture norms. A central theme that WOC are made into “monsters” in the academy emphasizes the otherness the authors have each experienced, as well as the ways they are learning to thrive within the spaces of monstrosity. The goal of the chapter is to honor the authors’ and others’ experiences, and to amplify strategies of resistance and survivance that they practice as WOC scholars and educators.
Radically Imagining Antiracist Social Work Research Using a Trauma-Informed, Socially Just Framework
Authors: Francis Meredith W. , Jemal Alexis , Voith Laura A. , Lee Hyunjune , Korsch-Williams Amy E. , Ortega-Williams Anna , Hamler Tyrone 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This chapter shares how a group of social work researchers used radical imagination to create a space of joyful resistance to the dominant narrative of the social work research process that perpetuates White supremacy and oppression. It explores three questions: What type of research do the researchers want to do? How do they conduct trauma-informed, socially just (TISJ) research? Who do they need to be in order to carry out TISJ research? It shares how this group used multiple practices as conduits for radical imagination and invites readers to engage in their own radically imaginative work to transform social work research and themselves. It offers ways of “staying in the mess” without clear answers and of becoming “social work philosophers” who use philosophical activism to challenge injustice, the results of which may be the start of a praxis to reclaim our humanity and an invitation to join a “soul-cial” work movement.
Taking a Look in the Mirror to See the Future
Authors: Crudup Chandra , Fike Chris , McLoone Claire 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
One mechanism for disrupting the White supremacy that has become a master narrative in social work scholarship, practice, and education is to create a counter-narrative. To create that counter-narrative, this chapter will present a model that intentionally reframes, retools, and repairs social work education, scholarship, and practice. It will outline mechanisms for reframing the nature of dominant social work approaches and the ecological systems framework, retooling the linear systemic structures social workers work within and reinforce through scholarship and practitioner preparation, and repairing the harm that that has been done to historically marginalized and oppressed populations through centering Whiteness. The chapter will draw from concepts of equitable creative placemaking to envisage a way forward that intentionally commits to addressing historical trauma through reparations and restorative justice by centering equitable community practice to allow generations of people to benefit from a collective and holistic environment.
Creating an Anticolonial Academic Space for Social Work Education
Authors: Seymour Ann M. , van Rensburg Margaret Janse 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
While many institutions of higher education in Canada currently acknowledge their situation on traditional and sacred territories, they remain centers of colonial repression. Colonial institutions fail to seek out the social justice that is rightfully deserved by Indigenous people. The purpose of this chapter is to outline how social work can incorporate alternate ways of knowing to accommodate learning and teaching that support Indigenous students. This chapter identifies strategies that embody Indigenous worldviews and acknowledge diverse ways of knowing. It addresses the relationships that inform Indigenous and Western worldviews and provides recommendations as a plan forward to include other ways of knowing. As a call for safer spaces in academia, this chapter challenges institutions of higher learning to accommodate other ways of knowing.
Resisting Curriculum Violence and Developing Antioppressive, Trauma-Informed, Culturally Sustaining Approaches for Social Work Education and Practice
Authors: Sharkey Caroline N. , Strickland Chris , Elkins Jennifer 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Social work programs have long committed to the integration of social justice and cultural diversity. This professional commitment to social justice and stated affirmation that diversity, culture, and the social environment shape human experiences is threaded through program curricula. However social work education does not consistently incorporate an educational framework for integrating culturally sustaining pedagogies that synthesize critical inquiry and culturally responsive learning opportunities more fully ingrained with antioppressive social justice concepts or culturally responsive pedagogies that fully integrate the diversity of social work students and the individuals and communities they will serve. This chapter draws from multiple professional fields to (a) provide an integrative overview of current approaches to social justice education in social work and (b) identify strategies to incorporate antioppressive, trauma-informed, culturally sustaining pedagogies into social work education.
Remedying the Foundation of Social Work Education
Authors: Gillani Braveheart , BlackDeer Autumn Asher , Cohen Flora 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Professional social work practice was developed and propagated by White people, much like the majority of American institutions. This foundation has led to a profession that haphazardly perpetuates selective aphasia about the impacts of racism both historically and at present. Furthermore, social workers continue to engage in implicit or explicitly racist behaviors without critically thinking how they contribute toward upholding racist systems. It is vital that social work education institutions utilize critical race theory to embed antiracist pedagogy into practice. Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) scholars have produced robust antiracist pedagogical ideologies, techniques, and practices over time; however, the academy has resisted integrating these practices within bachelor’s- and master’s-level social work education. This chapter discusses the history of social work and antiracism and the current state of social work values, competencies, and pedagogy, and puts forth several strategies for implementing and integrating antiracist pedagogy within social work classrooms.
Crime Scene Investigation
Authors: Andersson Ruben , Keen David 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The chapter sets out the book’s approach to analyzing war and security systems. Starting with the fall of Kabul of 2021, it argues that the perverse outcomes of the long-running war on terror in Afghanistan are more than a blip or an anomaly. When policies fail (and fail persistently), as they did in Afghanistan, we need to look not only at “what went wrong” but also at “what went right”—and at who is benefiting from these apparent failures. The chapter finds that the phenomenon of success-amid-failure is especially pronounced when it comes to the remarkably persistent habit of going to war against some threat or other. This habit of waging “war on everything” has spread from the early days of the war on Communism and the war on drugs to “fights” against crime, terrorism, migration, and many more complex political problems. Understanding the systemic gains to be had from disastrous interventions of this kind is a key aim of “wreckonomics.”
Warriors on Drugs
Authors: Andersson Ruben , Keen David 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Chapter 6 examines the long-standing war on drugs, which has involved extraordinary levels of violence in Mexico, Central America, Colombia, the Philippines, and elsewhere—levels of violence that have at times surpassed those of “real” war. The chapter observes complex and often synergistic relationships between the dynamics of the drug trade itself and the criminalizing and militarized response to it. Moving between the “external” war in poorer countries and the war on drugs and crime in the principal instigating state (the United States), it shows how addictive the war system becomes once its costs can be successfully exported to those with little or no stake in it.
How to End the War on Everything (In Four Complex Steps)
Authors: Andersson Ruben , Keen David 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Chapter 9 sets out suggestions for undoing the wreckage of failing systems. Building on the previous two chapters, one crucial change concerns moving from relatively “fixed” to more open knowledge environments, in which dissent can more easily be expressed. Another concerns the specific ways in which the costs and perverse benefits of the wars can be tracked and contested, including through the creative building of coalitions. There is hope and inspiration to be found here, especially when comparatively examining how wars and security systems have been challenged in recent years. However, in looking at dismantling these various war and security systems, one must also take account of their remarkable resilience.
Military and Veteran Criminality
Authors: Seamone Evan R. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractLaw enforcement has increasingly leveraged resources as vehicles to connect criminal-justice–involved veterans and residential mental health programs, monetary benefits, and other vital services not ordinarily available to civilian offenders. These systemic veteran-specific interventions within the criminal justice system operate along the Sequential Intercept Spectrum. This model addresses persons with mental illness in the criminal justice system, providing opportunities at each sequential step of processing. Curiously, while the contemporary civilian criminal justice system defines veterans as a special population worthy of alternatives, the military justice system has turned about-face, rejecting therapeutic or diversionary alternatives, instead doubling down on a punitive response. Punitive discharges frequently involve bars to the receipt of the most vital governmental healthcare and compensation services and imposed stigma. Consequently, this chapter advocates for extending the Sequential Intercept Spectrum to military service to divert offenders from stigmatizing discharge characterizations before their exit from the armed forces.
