E cosa cerca quel ragazzo, disposto a – anzi, ansioso di – aiutare chiunque lo incontri? Iwaoka Hisae racconta una storia rimossa di pochi passi dalla quotidianità metropolitana moderna, ma intrisa di poesia e di tenerezza, ma anche di profondità di analisi dell’animo. Se il pollo che si rammarica di essere cresciuto, perché crede che se fosse rimasto pulcino non sarebbe stato abbandonato dai suoi umani non vi commuoverà, be’, siete più forti di noi.

What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Doing Justice is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe. Longtime organizers and movement educators Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes examine some of the political lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the convergence of mass protest and mass formations of mutual aid, and consider what this confluence of power can teach us about a future that will require mass acts of care, rescue and defense, in the face of both state violence and environmental disaster. The book is an assemblage of co-authored reflections, interviews and questions that are intended to aid and empower activists and organizers as they attempt to map their own journeys through the work of justice-making. It includes insights from a spectrum of experienced organizers, including Sharon Lungo, Carlos Saavedra, Ejeris Dixon, Barbara Ransby, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore about some of the difficult and joyous lessons they have learned in their work.

Read the original inspiration for the new, boldly reimagined film from producers Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg, starring Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, and Fantasia Barrino. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award A powerful cultural touchstone of modern American literature, The Color Purple depicts the lives of African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. Separated as girls, sisters Celie and Nettie sustain their loyalty to and hope in each other across time, distance and silence. Through a series of letters spanning twenty years, first from Celie to God, then the sisters to each other despite the unknown, the novel draws readers into its rich and memorable portrayals of Celie, Nettie, Shug Avery and Sofia and their experience. The Color Purple broke the silence around domestic and sexual abuse, narrating the lives of women through their pain and struggle, companionship and growth, resilience and bravery. Deeply compassionate and beautifully imagined, Alice Walker's epic carries readers on a spirit-affirming journey towards redemption and love. “Reading The Color Purple was the first time I had seen Southern, Black women’s literature as world literature. In writing us into the world—bravely, unapologetically, and honestly—Alice Walker has given us a gift we will never be able to repay.” —Tayari Jones “The Color Purple was what church should have been, what honest familial reckoning could have been, and it is still the only art object in the world by which all three generations of Black artists in my family judge American art.” —Kiese Laymon

Lass dich mitnehmen in die Welt von Jack und August! Aber gibt es sie wirklich? Ein Brand in einer alten Lagerhalle. Am Tatort zwei Siebzehnjährige, einer davon (der vermutliche Brandstifter) mit Verbrennungen, die beide in die Psychiatrie eingeliefert werden. Einige Monate zuvor: In der Schule hängen August und Jack mit völlig verschiedenen Typen rum, privat verbindet die beiden aber seit Langem eine intensive Freundschaft. Doch Jack, Vorzeigeschüler, Spitzensportler, Mädchenschwarm, entwickelt immer stärkere Halluzinationen und driftet mehr und mehr in eine Fantasiewelt ab. In dieser ist er der König, der "Wicker King", und August ist sein Ritter. Um Jack nah zu bleiben und zu verhindern, dass dieser sich endgültig in seiner Scheinwelt verliert, lässt sich August auf das Spiel ein: Er begibt sich gemeinsam mit Jack in dessen Fantasiewelt hinein und steuert sie beide damit genau auf die Katastrophe zu, die er verhindern wollte.

Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and then published in its entirety in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement." According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel is highly allusive and also imitates the styles of different periods of English literature. Since its publication, the book has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars." The novel's stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose—replete with puns, parodies, and allusions—as well as its rich characterisation and broad humour have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history; Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday.'
