Monsters arrived in 2011--and now they are back. Not only do they continue to live in our midst, but, as historian Scott Poole shows, these monsters are an important part of our past--a hideous obsession America cannot seem to escape.

Poole's central argument in Monsters in America is that monster tales intertwine with America's troubled history of racism, politics, class struggle, and gender inequality. The second edition of Monsters leads readers deeper into America's tangled past to show how monsters continue to haunt contemporary American ideology.

By adding new discussions of the American West, Poole focuses intently on the Native American experience. He reveals how monster stories went west to Sand Creek and Wounded Knee, bringing the preoccupation with monsters into the twentieth century through the American Indian Movement. In his new preface and expanded conclusion, Poole's tale connects to the present--illustrating the relationship between current social movements and their historical antecedents. This proven textbook also studies the social location of contemporary horror films, exploring, for example, how Get Out emerged from the context of the Black Lives Matter movement. Finally, in the new section "American Carnage," Poole challenges readers to assess what their own monster tales might be and how our sordid past horrors express themselves in our present cultural anxieties.

By the end of the book, Poole cautions that America's monsters aren't going away anytime soon. If specters of the past still haunt our present, they may yet invade our future. Monsters are here to stay.

Professional, functional, and cute!
Color: Pinkish Grey, Size: 14-Inch
I needed a backpack that looked professional and that wasn't massive. This fits my 15 inch laptop with room to spare. The back zipper portion is padded for extra laptop protection. I was surprised by the quality. It's my go-to bag for transporting my work stuff to and from the office.

Perfect Small-ish Business Bag
Color: Apricot, Size: 14-Inch
I have been on the search for a small business bag, that can go on. top of my luggage as well as look nice in the office and at meetings. That will still hold all of my things while keeping me organized. So what fits, I can put my 12.9" iPad, with case and Magic Keyboard in the spot for a laptop. I can also put my 8x10 spiral bound planner, a notebook, mouse, small cable case, pencil case, water bottle and purse pouch with all my essentials. So my water bottle does not fit inside the side bottle pockets, so I do have to put it inside the bag it's self, but that's a no issue. The shoulder straps seem sturdy enough and the color beige/cream looks nice with my neutral wardrobe. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. We'll see how it travels over the next year as I have quite a bit of traveling and work do to offsite this year. j

Stylish, High-Quality Backpack. A Great Upgrade from My Usual Black Bags!
Color: Pinkish Grey, Size: 14-Inch
I’m really impressed with this backpack. I usually stick to black bags, but I decided to try something different, and I’m so glad I did. The color is beautiful—unique without being too loud—and adds a nice pop. The quality of the material feels top-notch. It’s sturdy yet lightweight, and the stitching and zippers seem very durable. Overall, this backpack feels well thought out in both design and function. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something professional, stylish, and practical.
