This fascinating book explores Beat Generation writing from a transnational perspective, using the concept of worlding to place Beat literature in conversation with a far-reaching network of cultural and political formations. Countering the charge that the Beats abroad were at best nave tourists seeking exoticism for exoticism's sake, World Beats finds that these writers propelled a highly politicized agenda that sought to use the tools of the earlier avant-garde to undermine Cold War and postcolonial ideologies and offer a new vision of engaged literature. With fresh interpretations of central Beat authors Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs - as well as usually marginalized writers like Philip Lamantia, Ted Joans, and Brion Gysin - World Beats moves beyond national, continental, or hemispheric frames to show that embedded within Beat writing is an essential universality that brought America to the world and the world to American literature. This book presents an original treatment that will attract a broad spectrum of scholars.

'[This] survey of the many little magazines carrying the Beat message is impressive in its coverage, drawing attention to the importance of their paratextual content in providing valuable socio-political context. [...] The collection contains a range of insightful close readings, astute contextualizing, and inventive lateral pedagogical thinking, charting the transformation of the Beat scene from its free-wheeling, self-help, heady revolutionary 1960’s days to its contemporary position as an increasingly respectable component of the curriculum. [...] The Beats: A Teaching Companion is successful on a number of levels; it is a noteworthy contribution to the ever expanding field of Beat studies and, more broadly, cultural studies; and it is a collection that at its best gives hope that in referring to its ideas the inspired teacher may still be able to enlarge the lives of their students.'

Global Beat Fusion The History of the Future of Music Words & Pix by Derek Beres Foreword by Ajay Naidu "Derek Beres is part reporter and part prophet standing in the middle of the eye of the World Music storm that is raining new musical genres on the Earth today, each one fused by the love of song and spirit." -Krishna Das, kirtan artist "I met Derek Beres as a writer interested in shedding light on what was happening in the world of future music. I know him now as a major force pushing this scene in all directions. He has gone so far deep inside that he has become exactly what he writes about. He will forget to write one chapter of this book and that is the one about himself." -Karsh Kale, tabla player/DJ/producer "Derek Beres is a modern-day shaman. He knows new hybrids of electronic and non-Western music deliver the same ecstatic release as ancient tribal rituals of so-called primitive societies, and that the implications go far beyond an ambient groove. For Beres, the fusion of technology and ritual, the reconciliation of mind, body and spirit that electronic world music represents, is not just the cutting edge of modern entertainment but the early stages of a numinous revolution in American culture. In Global Beat Fusion he explains why music is the new religion, and how, in one sense or another, we are all destined to become believers." -Guy Garcia, author of The New Mainstream: How the Multicultural Consumer is Transforming American Business For exclusive interviews, pictures, events artist info and more visit www.globalbeatfusion.com Cover artwork by Craig Anthony Miller www.craiganthonymiller.com Outside the Box Publishing www.otbpublishing.com

"From the Shanghai "Youth Palace" where a rouged male orchestra plays tangos and "Take Me Back to West Virginia," to the front porch of an Appalachian banjo-picker's cabin, Beats of the Heart takes us on a fourteen-stop tour of the places where today's most popular music is created. Samba, reggae, salsa; Tex-Mex ballads, African drums, Japanese synthesizations: the sounds are as varied as the cultures they reflect. In the profiles and interviews that make up the book's text, Jeremy Marre and Hannah Charlton show us how these traditional forms of expression have responded to the needs of a transformed society - how music has become a vehicle for protest, politics, history, commerce, dance, storytelling, and sheer joyful celebration, all at the same time. Beats of the Heart is a colorful, globe-trotting, and remarkably perspective one-of-a-kind book"--Back cover.

Nothing Beats Luck takes the reader on a journey from the financial district of New York to the corrupt, mafia-infested city of Chicago and then finally to Las Vegas. You will meet all types of colorful characters, some who totally believe in luck, and then some like BJ, who has made a fortune on both Wall Street and in sports-betting, who does not believe in luck. Nothing Beats Luck is a story about people and their hopes and dreams as much as it is about Las Vegas and organized crime. Endorsements: “Brooks has done it again. He is able to develop colorful fictional characters, while at the same time never losing his sense of humor” Sam McKeel, former Chairman and Publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News, and former President, CEO, & Publisher of The Chicago Sun-Times “Brooks has the uncanny ability to weave his Philadelphia experiences of real people, places, and events into an exciting tale of fiction” Judge Lisle B.
