Book Description
Junctions is Daniel Mandishona’s second collection of short stories, following White Gods Black Demons (Weaver Press, 2009). Again, he quarries the richness and variety of Zimbabwean lives to deliver characters and narratives spanning the social spectrum: political ambition and violence; beggars on city streets; family disputes at funerals; rural journeys peppered with mishaps; corrupt policemen and born-again prophets; bus accidents, and township tailors. But if his subjects reect grim realities, Mandishona’s treatment of his characters is achieved with a wonderful sardonic irony, capacious enough to give even the worst offenders a large humanity. The book concludes with Edmore Chidzonga, an unemployed graduate, reflecting on the new dispensation promised by the 2017 change of national leadership: He remembered how his late grandfather often told him that tsuro haipone rutsva kaviri; a hare can only escape a bush re once. He had spent six years protesting. … For the first time, he felt he had no future.

Book Description
Nine thousand miles separate Chennai, India, from Las Cruces, New Mexico, the distance Priya Kumar, 25, travels to join two of her sisters for a one year graduate program at New Mexico State University. Busy with school work and learning all she can about the United States, it’s in Professor Martin’s year-long Independent Studies course where her comparison-culture learning is put to the forefront, for she must write a 50-page paper about Alexis de Tocqueville’s classic Democracy in America and whether it still rings true nearly two centuries after its first publication. The American Story is often best told from a foreigner’s perspective, and it’s in writing this paper that Priya not only learns about her host country, but more so about herself and the choices she’s faced with. One choice stands above all the others, and it changes her life forever.

Book Description
Dressing the Resistance is a celebration of how we use clothing, fashion, and costume to ignite activism and spur social change. Weaving together historical and current protest movements across the globe, Dressing the Resistance explores how everyday people and the societies they live in harness the visual power of dress to fight for radical change. American suffragettes made and wore dresses from old newspapers printed with voting slogans. Male farmers in rural India wore their wives' saris while staging sit-ins on railroad tracks against government neglect. Costume designer and dress historian Camille Benda analyzes cultural movements and the clothes that defined them through nearly 200 archival images, photographs, and paintings that bring each event to life, from ancient Roman rebellions to the #MeToo movement, from twentieth century punk subcultures to Black Lives Matter marches.

Book Description
This book, written in a casual light-hearted manner, tells the story of the first year of TRUMP’s accident prone presidency, on the home front and abroad. At home, the book presents a longer view than the usual daily pro- or anti-TRUMP media frenzy. Based on his campaign promises, it highlights a pattern of controversial, disruptive if not deconstructive behaviour in the TRUMPIAN sense of the word, affecting the US rapidly and negatively on political, economic, trade, social and societal issues simultaneously. Abroad, TRUMP claimed his unwillingness to act as the sheriff of the world during his campaign, but broke this promise early in his presidency. The book covers each of his on the spur thought out foreign policies, resulting in TRUMPIAN meddling in the affairs of other countries such as North Korea, the Middle East and the status of Jerusalem. It shows how the TRUMP administration is trying to force the world to accept its unilateral, harmful and unpalatable recipe, a complete reversal and an extraordinary change of track since World War II in US politics. This book on TRUMP, the first by a European author published in the US, presents with the president in the leading role, an insight on American politics at home and illustrates the serious adverse impact of his foreign adventures, an aspect most US readers are not aware of or blissfully ignore.

Author: Ilan Stavans Publisher: Oxford University Press ISBN: 0192548182 Category : Literary Criticism Languages : en Pages : 216
Book Description
An incisive, thought-provoking, and timely meditation, at once panoramic and synoptic, on American literature for an age of xenophobia, heightened nationalism, and economic disparity. The distinguished cultural critic Ilan Stavans explores the nation's identity through the prism of its books, from the indigenous past to the early settlers, the colonial period, the age of independence, its ascendance as a global power, and its shallow, fracturing response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The central motives that make the United States a flawed experiment—its celebration of do-it-yourself individualism, its purported exceptionalism, and its constitutional government based on checks and balances—are explored through canonical works like Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Emily Dickinson's poetry, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the work of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Toni Morrison, and immigrant voices such as those of Américo Paredes, Henry Roth, Saul Bellow, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jhumpa Lahiri, and others. This is literary criticism at its best-informed: broad-ranged yet pungent and uncompromising.

Book Description
The Routledge Handbook of Translation and the City is the first multifaceted and cross-disciplinary overview of how cities can be read through the lens of translation and how translation studies can be enriched by an understanding of the complex dynamics of the city. Divided into four sections, the chapters are authored by leading scholars in translation studies, sociolinguistics, and literary and cultural criticism. They cover contexts from Brussels to Singapore and Melbourne to Cairo and topics from translation as resistance to translanguaging and urban design. This volume explores the role of translation at critical junctures of a city’s historical transformation as well as in the mundane intercultural moments of urban life, and uncovers the trope of the translational city in writing. This Handbook is critical reading for researchers, scholars and advanced students in translation studies, linguistics and urban studies.
