Get Fresh Books Publishing
Get Fresh Books Publishing is a non-profit, cooperative press devoted to amplifying diverse voices in poetry and making the publication process accessible to marginalized communities. Our primary objective is to provide opportunities for underrepresented voices by eliminating economic and societal barriers, such as submission fees and contests, which may inhibit marginalized voices from contributing to the literary conversation. As a cooperative press, we encourage manuscript submissions from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and people living with mental illnesses. By doing so, we explicitly reject any “ism” or phobia which seeks to suppress the voices of those who receive insufficient or inadequate representation in literature. In the four short years of our founding, we have been able to preserve our commitment to diversity and inclusivity by publishing the work of 12 talented and distinct poets, whose poetry cover a wide range of topics from ethnicity, sexuality and religion to immigration, suicide and discrimination. Our press’s cooperative process of integrating the ideas and skills of our poets, editors and publisher have given us the ability to bring fresh and diverse voices into the literary world. With the help of donations, grants and private investments, we have been able to publish each literary work without charging a single submission fee to ensure that poets and writers of all ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, and economic statuses would have their voices heard.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2025Through the fiction of Phebe Gibbes (1764–90)
Women, alienation, and prodigality in the long eighteenth century
by Kathryn Freeman
Through the Fiction of Phebe Gibbes places this prolific, newly recovered English writer at the centre of the revolutionary period. Gibbes's novels mark the struggles of women for agency in an expanding British empire, from the Seven Years' War to revolutions in American, Haiti and France. With Gibbes as a nexus in a lineage of women writers from Aphra Behn to Jane Austen, Kathryn S. Freeman offers a valuable perspective on the 'long eighteenth century', with Gibbes' own evolution mirroring that of the larger period. The study traces the development of Gibbes' authorial voice from satire to irony through a range of female characters subverting patriarchal oppression. Freeman guides the reader through patterns of narrative voice, concerns with gender and sexuality, and elements of wordplay through detailed discussion of five novels representing Gibbes' evolving representation of a subversive female subjectivity.

May 2005Berühmte Frauenpaare
by Joey Horsley, Luise F. Pusch
Für eine Frau, die etwas werden will, ist die traditionelle Ehe ein stabiles Hindernis. Viele Frauen, die das erkannt haben, taten sich lieber mit einer anderen Frau zusammen – zur Steigerung der Lebensfreude und Schaffenskraft und zum Schutz gegen gesellschaftliche Härten. Acht Frauenpaare werden in diesem Band vorgestellt: alte Bekannte wie Gertrude Stein und Alice B. Toklas, Anita Augspurg und Lida Gustava Heymann, Unbekannte wie Eugenie Schumann und Marie Fillunger sowie leuchtende Sterne am Frauenhimmel mit ihren Gefährtinnen im Hintergrund: die Malerin Rosa Bonheur mit Nathalie Micas und später Anna Klumpke, die Dichterin Amy Lowell mit Ada Russell, die Biologin Rachel Carson mit Dorothy Freeman. Notgemeinschaften wie Milena Jésenska und Margarete Buber-Neumann oder Katherine Mansfield mit Ida Baker runden das Bild ab.

November 1994Sozialer Wandel
Modellbildung und theoretische Ansätze. Herausgegeben von Hans-Peter Müller und Michael Schmid
by Michael Schmid, Hans-Peter Müller
Als Ende der sechziger Jahre Wolfgang Zapf seinen nunmehr klassichen Band über »Theorien sozialen Wandels« einleitete, konnte er auf das sich damals herauskristallisierende Paradigma der Makrosoziologie verweisen. Er stürzte sich – cum grano salis – methodisch auf einen strukturell-funktionalen Ansatz, theoretisch auf die Differenzierungstheorie und in der historisch-praktischen Anwendung auf die Modernisierungsforschung. Inzwischen hat sich dieses Paradigma aufgelöst und entlang der genannten Richtungen ausdifferenziert. »Paradigmatisch« läßt sich ein theoretischer Kern nicht mehr eindeutig identifizieren, sondern es können nur noch methodologische Minimalstandards dynamischer Analysen ausgewiesen werden. Ausgehend von modelltheoretischen Überlegungen (Neil J. Smelser und Gudmund Hernes), umfaßt der Band differenzierungstheoretische (Renate Mayntz), strukturationstheoretische (Anthony Giddens), kulturtheoretische (Margaret Archer), selektionstheoretische (Bernhard Giesen), bewegungstheoretische (Klaus Eder), populationsökologische (Michael Hannan und John Freeman) sowie institutionentheoretische (Tom R. Burns und Thomas Dietz) Ansätze.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Race, nation and empire
Making histories, 1750 to the present
by Catherine Hall, Keith McClelland, Julian Hoppit
The essays in this collection show how histories written in the past, in different political times, dealt with, considered, or avoided and disavowed Britain's imperial role and issues of difference. Ranging from enlightenment historians to the present, these essays consider both individual historians, including such key figures as E. A. Freeman, G. M. Trevelyan and Keith Hancock, and also broader themes such as the relationship between liberalism, race and historiography and how we might re-think British history in the light of trans-national, trans-imperial and cross-cultural analysis. 'Britishness' and what 'British' history is have become major cultural and political issues in our time. But as these essays demonstrate, there is no single national story: race, empire and difference have pulsed through the writing of British history. The contributors include some of the most distinguished historians writing today: C. A. Bayly, Antoinette Burton, Saul Dubow, Geoff Eley, Theodore Koditschek, Marilyn Lake, John M. MacKenzie, Karen O'Brien, Sonya O. Rose, Bill Schwarz, Kathleen Wilson. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2024A neoliberal revolution?
Thatcherism and the reform of British pensions
by Hugh Pemberton, James Freeman, Aled Davies
This book examines the Thatcher government's attempt to revolutionise Britain's pensions system in the 1980s and create a nation of risk-taking savers with an individual stake in capitalism. Drawing upon recently-released archival records, it shows how the ideas motivating these reforms journeyed from the writings of neoliberal intellectuals into government and became the centrepiece of a plan to abolish significant parts of the UK's welfare state and replace these with privatised personal pensions. Revealing a government that veered between political caution and radicalism, the book explains why this revolution failed and charts the malign legacy left by the evolutionary changes that ministers salvaged from the wreckage of their reforms. The book contributes to understanding of policy change, Thatcherism, and international neoliberalism by showing how major reforms to social security could reflect neoliberal thought and yet profoundly disappoint their architects.
