Book Description
'David Hare's great quality has always been his refusal to accept the division between fact and imagination. His creative invention is fired by public realities and in turn he makes those realities feel deeply personal. That same quality is wonderfully at work in his essays and poems. Whether he is writing about Tony Blair or Joan Didion, whether he is writing out of love or rage, evoking the intimate moments of his own life or the great moral questions of our times, he brings his subjects to life with an irresistible immediacy. All the wit, combativeness, energy and edge he has brought to the stage are present here on the page.' Fintan O'Toole I can't remember if I had any plans for the twenty-first century. I was already 52 when it arrived. But events raced off in such unexpected directions that any possible ideas must have gone out the window. Many of us shared the sensation that history was speeding up. Recording dizzying changes in culture and politics, these elegant essays range in subject from the photographer Lee Miller to the Archbishop of Canterbury, from the actress Sarah Bernhardt to the rapist Jimmy Saville, from a celebration of Mad Men to a diagnosis of the incoherence of Conservatism in the new century. The poems, in contrast, are private: tender meditations, filled with love, memory, vulnerability and the melancholy of ageing. This is a powerful compilation of prose and poetry by one of the distinctive thinkers of our time.

Book Description
A new take on Afrofuturism, this book gathers together a range of contemporary voices who, carrying legacies of 500 years of contact between Africa, Europe, and the Americas, reach towards the stars and unknown planets, galaxies, and ways of being. Writing from queer and feminist perspectives and circumnavigating continents, they recalibrate definitions of Afrofuturism. The editors and contributors of this exciting volume thus reflect upon the re-emergence of Black visions of political and cultural futures, proposing practices, identities, and collectivities. With contributions from AfroFuturist Affair, John Akomfrah, Jamika Ajalon, Stefanie Alisch, Jim Chuchu, Grisha Coleman, Thomas F. DeFrantz, Abigail DeVille, M. Asli Dukan with Wildseeds, Kodwo Eshun, Anna Everett, Raimi Gbadamosi, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Milumbe Haimbe, Ayesha Hameed, Kiluanji Kia Henda, Kara Keeling, Carla J. Maier, Tobias Nagl, Tavia Nyongo, Rasheedah Phillips, Daniel Kojo Schrade, Nadine Siegert, Robyn Smith, Greg Tate and Frohawk Two Feathers.

Book Description
The Roads We Traveled begins with the chronological journeys that families took in a legendary Latino barrio. It is an idyllic locale that for one brief historical moment brought meaning and even glamorous ambience to the people involved in its story. The story is burrowed in a location with high idealsSan Felipe High School, which resides in a small town in Texas. It was a place bursting with excitement, purpose, and culture, where students from an impoverished community came together to celebrate learning and wisdom, which was inspired by outstanding teachers. The narrative illustrates the various social and environmental barriers students were able to overcome. Because of this, students found a silver lining to their clouds. This silver lining brilliantly outlines where they are today, fifty-five years later, after they went out into society to become architects of their new communities. This book will resonate to Hispanic and other Latino students who have been encouraged and challenged to stay in school, graduate, and pursue higher education. It will also be compelling to all educators who have struggled to find ways to inspire students to believe that education is indeed a stairway to success. Even though The Roads We Traveled is a success story of children who grew up in poverty in a Texas barrio, it is ultimately a universal story about family, friendships, success, failures, disappointments, and setbacks. Significantly, the story is definitely about the powerful importance of superior teachers who are on the frontline to inspire their students to pursue their dreams to the very end.
