![]() ![]() Newton also carefully presents the problems with the accuracy and ethics of these tools. She begins with a few burning questions: "Had my mom's father really married thirteen times? Had his father really killed a man with a hay hook?” Then she used, 23andMe, and many other resources to track down the truth about her family history, which is rife with scoundrels, slave owners, and a 17th-century accused witch. These ruptures seeded a project that grew like a fairy-tale beanstalk, which the author climbs with unflagging energy. Perhaps her hunger is especially gnawing due to her long-term estrangement from her proudly racist father-and from her holy roller mother for a time, as well. "Ancestor hunger circles the globe” and “spans millennia,” writes blogger, critic, and essayist Newton in her first book. The current wave of interest in genealogy, heredity, family history, and responsibility for past injustices crescendos in a comprehensive work combining personal narrative and reporting. ![]() ![]() Not many reasons to be cheerful in 1954.īut such conditions are soil for the growth of English wit, dry as both the soil and the wit may be. The Mau Mau were rising up, Suez was preparing to boil over, the IRA started acting bolshy in Armagh, and Alan Turing poisoned himself rather than go to prison for homosexuality. Sociologically the pre-war world of fixed class, unchallenged privilege, and institutional isolation was gone. The Second World War had depleted the resources of the the average household as well as those of the Treasury.

But when Caroline runs away from camp and in an unfortunate series of events, dies suddenly at home, genderfluid Mars, who never completely felt comfortable at camp, makes the decision to return to Aspen and find out what really happened. ![]() This, of course, is relatable to anyone who has attended or sends their own kids to camp. Mars’s twin sister, Caroline, is deep in the heart of the culture of Aspen, especially her cabin and friends, the oldest girls in camp, called The Honeys. ![]() ![]() It’s no Ramah or Tel Yehudah, that’s for sure.

As he brings to light the immovable glass ceiling that exists for Dalits even in politics, bureaucracy and judiciary, Yengde provides an unflinchingly honest account of divisions within the Dalit community itself-from their internal caste divisions to the conduct of elite Dalits and their tokenized forms of modern-day untouchability-all operating under the inescapable influences of Brahminical doctrines. He describes his gut-wrenching experiences of growing up in a Dalit basti, the multiple humiliations suffered by Dalits on a daily basis, and their incredible resilience enabled by love and humour. ![]() ![]() In this explosive book, Suraj Yengde, a first-generation Dalit scholar educated across continents, challenges deep-seated beliefs about caste and unpacks its many layers. ![]() ![]() Shanghai is already at a boiling point: The Nationalists are marching in, whispers of civil war brew louder every day, and gangster rule faces complete annihilation. Then a new monstrous danger emerges in the city, and though secrets keep them apart, Juliette must secure Roma's cooperation if they are to end this threat once and for all. Roma knows it's his fault for letting the ruthless Juliette back into his life, and he's determined to set things right-even if that means killing the girl he hates and loves with equal measure. Roma is still reeling from Marshall's death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. ![]() If Juliette were actually guilty of the crime Roma believes she committed, his rejection might sting less. The only way to save the boy she loves from the wrath of the Scarlets is to have him want her dead for murdering his best friend in cold blood. ![]() One wrong move, and her cousin will step in to usurp her place as the Scarlet Gang's heir. The year is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the edge of revolution.Īfter sacrificing her relationship with Roma to protect him from the blood feud, Juliette has been a girl on a mission. ![]() ![]() Shanghai is under siege in this captivating and searingly romantic sequel to These Violent Delights, which New York Times bestselling author Natasha Ngan calls "deliciously dark." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But while this event transformed the complexion of America and provided black people with new economic opportunities, it also disconnected them from their roots, their land, and their sense of identity, argues Morgan Jerkins. "One of the smartest young writers of her generation."-Book Riotįrom the acclaimed cultural critic and New York Times bestselling author of This Will Be My Undoing-a writer whom Roxane Gay has hailed as "a force to be reckoned with"-comes this powerful story of her journey to understand her northern and southern roots, the Great Migration, and the displacement of black people across America.īetween 19, six million black Americans left their rural homes in the South for jobs in cities in the North, West, and Midwest in a movement known as The Great Migration. Named one of the most anticipated books of the year by ELLE, Buzzfeed, Esquire, Bitch Media, Good Housekeeping, Electric Literature, Parade and BookRiot One of TIME's 100 Must Read Books of 2020 and one of Good Housekeeping's Best Books of the Year ![]() ![]() The story is a perfect little fairy tale, complete with a “Once upon a time” opening: ![]() Millions of Cats also established a format for Gág’s books that a few others would follow almost exactly, including the horizontal, landscape format in which images would sometimes snake across both open, facing pages in a spread, and the image itself winding and flowing across that space to simulate movement or simply a rolling landscape. (Gág would win a second Newbery in 1934 for ABC Bunny, discussed below she also won two Caldecott Honor awards for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Nothing At All in 19, respectively). Newbery Awards are not often awarded to picture books, as the Caldecott Medal (first awarded about a decade after Millions of Cats saw print) is specifically devoted to picture books. Originally published in 1928, it won a Newbery Honor Award in 1929, which is of course awarded for distinguishing contribution to children’s literature. It's the book most often cited as an example of her work, at any rate. ![]() This is probably Wanda Gág’s signature work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Whereas Payne investigates the evolving relationship of the two regimes up to the conclusion of World War II, his principal concern is the enigma of Spain’s unique position during the war, as a semi-fascist country struggling to maintain a tortured neutrality. These two titanic egos engaged in an extraordinary tragicomic drama often verging on the dark absurdity of a Beckett or Ionesco play. But as Payne brilliantly shows, relations between these two dictators were not only a matter of realpolitik. Stanley Payne, a leading historian of modern Spain, explores the full range of Franco’s relationship with Hitler, from 1936 to the fall of the Reich in 1945. ![]() Was Franco sympathetic to Nazi Germany? Why didn't Spain enter World War II? In what ways did Spain collaborate with the Third Reich? How much did Spain assist Jewish refugees? This is the first book in any language to answer these intriguing questions. ![]() |
