Book Description
Holly the Multi-Colored Girl is a story about a girl who doesn't fit in because of the way she looks. Holly is ignored by her classmates because she is different, but, when Holly rescues Violet, the children learn that we're all the same inside no matter how different we may look on the outside. Holly, therefore, is a children's story told in simple terms that children can understand about how foolish it is to judge people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.

Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1789208750
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Located in the geographical center of Berlin, the neighboring boroughs of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg shared a history and identity until their fortunes diverged dramatically following the construction of the Berlin Wall, which placed them within opposing political systems. This revealing account of the two municipal districts before, during and after the Cold War takes a microhistorical approach to investigate the broader historical trajectories of East and West Berlin, with particular attention to housing, religion, and leisure. Merged in 2001, they now comprise a single neighborhood that bears the traces of these complex histories and serves as an illuminating case study of urban renewal, gentrification, and other social processes that continue to reshape Berlin.
