Can the Bad Girl be Tamed? Nellie Robinson’s sharp tongue and scheming ways have done more harm to the debutantes in Fort Worth, Texas, than even the newspaper's scandal-loving social columnist. But when Prince Randolph Schmidt comes to town, she is determined to become his princess. But not everything is as it seems. Pinkerton agent Daniel McClintock is no Prince Charming, but neither is shyster Randolph Schmidt who cons women into believing he will take them to his kingdom to be his queen.

When Nellie becomes a one-woman posse determined to get revenge and her money back, she finds herself in danger as she tangles with a man who wants her heart and one who wants her dead.

This book explores the possibilities of alternative worldings beyond those authorized by the disciplinary norms and customs of International Relations. In response to the boundary-drawing practices of IR that privilege the historical experience and scholarly folkways of the "West," the contributors examine the limits of even critical practice within the discipline; investigate alternative archives from India, the Caribbean, the steppes of Eurasia, the Andes, China, Japan and Southeast Asia that offer different understandings of proper rule, the relationality of identities and polities, notions of freedom and imaginations of layers of sovereignty; and demonstrate distinct modes of writing and inquiry. In doing so, the book also speaks about different possibilities for IR and for inquiry without it.
