THE JOKE: A HISTORY OF CANNABIS PROHIBITION IN AUSTRALIA
John Jiggens
[Brisbane]: John Jiggens, 2020. First Edition. 23cm x 15cm. 189 pages, black and white illustrations. Illustrated wrappers.
"Many decades ago in Australia, there was a plant that produced a wonder drug that was used to treat an extraordinary range of diseases. It was called Indian hemp. In its homeland of India, it had been celebrated as a holy plant for millennia, and prayers were offered when the plant was sown or harvested. Prepared as a drink, and taken with suitable ceremony, the plant would bring joy, a release from care, and destroy disease. It was said no good would come to those who trod underfoot its sacred leaf. Then a campaign of vilification began. The newspapers painted it as a vicious, evil plant. They called it the Devils Weed with its roots in Hell; it was the killer drug that provoked madness and led to the utmost depths of depravity. They gave it a new, foreign- sounding name: they called it marihuana. From the Reefer Madness campaign of 1938, to Brisbanes Marihuana weirdos, from the hippy dealers to the criminal takeover to the Drug Joke, from Griffith to Mareeba, The Joke charts the hidden history of cannabis prohibition in Australia."

Vangeline
New York: New York Butoh Institute, 2020. First Edition. 24cm x 17cm. xliv, 244 pages, colour photographs. Pictorial wrappers.
"Approaching the avant-garde Japanese performance art form of butoh from a cross-cultural, gender studies, and scientific perspective, award-winning artist and teacher Vangeline brings a fresh look at this postmodern dance form. Butoh, a performance art form that grew out of the Japanese avant-garde scene of the 1950s, has traveled from east to west over the last 60 years, growing in popularity as it evolves. With origins in modern dance, French mime, and the surrealist movement, this fascinating postmodern dance genre is often thought of as mysterious and is frequently misunderstood. Through twenty years of research, interviews with some of the world's top practitioners, historical documents, and rare photographs, Vangeline shines a light on this "dance of darkness." New revelations include the under-represented role of women in the development of the form, the connection between butoh and neuroscience, and the cross-cultural perspective of international influences on the evolution of the dance. Butoh: Cradling Empty Space will appeal to dance students, teachers, performance art scholars, movers, and anyone interested in choreography, theater, and Japanese history, culture and art. The book includes rare photographs, helpful graphics, a detailed bibliography and footnotes, and resources for additional information." (publisher's blurb)
