        Ein Buchclub zum Verlieben

        Roman

        by Lucy Gilmore, Susann Urban

        Sloane Parker führt ein unscheinbares Leben als Bibliothekarin in einer verschlafenen Kleinstadt. Einsam fühlt sie sich nicht – und doch wartet sie jeden Tag darauf, dass Arthur McLachlan erscheint: der grantige alte Mann, der ihre Regale durchstöbert und sie mit spitzen Bemerkungen neckt. Ihr Schlagabtausch ist längst zum Höhepunkt ihres Alltags geworden. Als Arthur eines Morgens nicht auftaucht, ist Sloane sofort beunruhigt. Schließlich findet sie ihn – erstaunlich froh über ihren Besuch. Um Licht in sein tristes Leben zu bringen, gründet Sloane einen Buchclub. Nach und nach stoßen weitere Menschen dazu, die in den Büchern und in der Gemeinschaft Trost und Freude finden. Denn jeder trägt ein besonderes Buch im Herzen – und die Kraft der Geschichten kann selbst die einsamsten Seelen zusammenführen.

        A savage song

        Racist violence and armed resistance in the early twentieth-century U.S.–Mexico Borderlands

        by Margarita Aragon

        This book examines key moments in which collective and state violence invigorated racialized social boundaries around Mexican and African Americans in the United States, and in which they violently contested them. Bringing anti-Mexican violence into a common analytical framework with anti-black violence, A savage song examines several focal points in this oft-ignored history, including the 1915 rebellion of ethnic Mexicans in South Texas, and its brutal repression by the Texas Rangers and the 1917 mutiny of black soldiers of the 24th Infantry Regiment in Houston, Texas, in response to police brutality. Aragon considers both the continuities and stark contrasts across these different moments: how were racialized constructions of masculinity differently employed? How did African and Mexican American men, including those in uniform, respond to the violence of racism? And how was their resistance, including their claims to manhood and nation, understood by law enforcement, politicians, and the press? Building on extensive archival research, the book examines how African and Mexican American men have been constructed as 'racial problems', investigating, in particular, their relationship with law enforcement and ideas about black and Mexican criminality.

        Foreign players and football supporters

        The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain

        by David Ranc

        'Mercenaries', 'cheats', 'destroying the soul of (English) football', 'destroying the link between football clubs and their supporters': foreign football players have been accused of being at the origin of all the ills of contemporary football. How true is this? Foreign players and football supporters: The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain is the first academic book to look at supporters' reactions to the increase in the number of foreign players in the very clubs they support week in week out. It shows that football supporters identify with their club through a variety of means, which may change or be replaced with others, and provides the most comprehensive view on football supporters' attachment to their club in the European Union, following the increase in European legislation. Divided into three case studies on Glasgow (Celtic and Rangers), Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in London, the book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to chart the evolution of the link between supporters and club between 1995 and today. It is based on extensive research through the press of three nations, as well as interviews with officials and supporters. It provides an excellent read for students and researchers in Sports Studies, Politics, European Studies, French Studies and other Social Sciences, or to anyone interested in one of the most original institutions of contemporary western societies: mass spectator sports. ;
