        Lola

        Thriller

        by Melissa Scrivner Love, Thomas Wörtche, Sven Koch, Andrea Stumpf

        South Central, L.A. Lola Vasquez ist klein, zierlich, unscheinbar, anscheinend eine chica unter vielen in der Latino-Gang The Crenshaw Six. Die Gang versucht, möglichst unauffällig zu agieren, und zu dieser Strategie in einer Mucho-macho-Welt gehört auch, dass Lola nicht sichtbar wird, denn in Wahrheit ist sie die Chefin der Gang, ebenso brillant wie rücksichtslos. Die Karten werden neu gemischt, als sie in einen Krieg zwischen einem etablierten Großdealer, einem expansionswilligen mexikanischen Kartell und einem neuen Großlieferanten gezogen wird. Auch die Polizei und die Staatsanwaltschaft mischen mit – eine Gang wie jede andere. Lolas Achillesferse ist ihre Familie, ihre Crack-Mutter und ihr nicht allzu schlauer Bruder. Als es hart auf hart kommt, muss Lola ein paar Entscheidungen fällen, die alles andere als leichtfallen …

        Mid-century women's writing

        Disrupting the public/private divide

        by Melissa Dinsman, Megan Faragher, Ravenel Richardson

        The traditional narrative of the mid-century (1930s-60s) is that of a wave of expansion and constriction, with the swelling of economic and political freedoms for women in the 1930s, the cresting of women in the public sphere during the Second World War, and the resulting break as employment and political opportunities for women dwindled in the 1950s when men returned home from the front. But as the burgeoning field of interwar and mid-century women's writing has demonstrated, this narrative is in desperate need of re-examination. Mid-century women's writing: Disrupting the public/private divide aims to revivify studies of female writers, journalists, broadcasters, and public intellectuals living or working in Britain, or under British rule, during the mid-century while also complicating extant narratives about the divisions between domesticity and politics.

        Paris. Eine Liebe

        Erzählung

        by Urs Faes, Nanne Meyer

        Milde Septembertage in Paris: Nach fast dreißig Jahren kehrt Eric zurück in die Stadt, von der er einmal gehofft hatte, sie würde ihm die Erfüllung bringen. Statt dessen brachten ihn die Tage mit Claudine an den Rand der Verzweiflung – Claudine mit ihren hellen, fast weißblonden Haaren, die Hände in den Taschen ihres grünen Mantels vergraben. Jetzt scheint eine Wiederbegegnung möglich. Und es stellt sich die Frage, ob »einer nicht genauso aus dem besteht, was er nicht gelebt hat, wie aus dem, was durch Zufall seine Wirklichkeit geworden ist«. -- Mit Zeichnungen von Nanne Meyer.

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic since 1917

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg, Alan Rice

        Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.

        by Omphalius, Ruth

        ***Alle drei Bände der magischen Drachenfantasy im Bundle*** Entfache das Feuer in dir! Sophie hat mit Übergewicht zu kämpfen, wird in der Schule gemobbt und kann sich nicht einmal gegen ihren kleinen Bruder durchsetzen. Am liebsten zieht sie sich mit einem guten Buch von der Welt zurück und hofft, im besten Fall einfach übersehen zu werden. Doch all das ändert sich schlagartig, als sich ihre unterdrückte Wut eines Tages in einem markerschütternden Schrei entlädt, Feuer und Verwüstung um sich greifen und Sophie in bizarre Träume abgleitet: hoch in der Luft schwebend über dem Haus ihrer Eltern oder auf der Flucht vor schaurigen Vogelwesen. Selbst dem coolsten Mädchen der Klasse, Melissa, fallen die Veränderungen auf und sie beginnt Sophie auszuspionieren. Weder Melissa noch Sophie ahnen jedoch, wie groß und lebensbedrohlich das Geheimnis, dem sie auf der Spur sind, tatsächlich ist. Dieses Bundle enthält alle drei Teile der fantastisch-magischen Dragon Child Serie: - Dragon Child 1: Das Erwachen - Dragon Child 2: Die Rebellion - Dragon Child 3: Die Allianz

        The Red and the Black

        The Russian Revolution and the Black Atlantic

        by David Featherstone, Christian Høgsbjerg

        The Russian Revolution of 1917 was not just a world-historical event in its own right, but also struck powerful blows against racism and imperialism, and so inspired many black radicals internationally. This edited collection explores the implications of the creation of the Soviet Union and the Communist International for black and colonial liberation struggles across the African diaspora. It examines the critical intellectual influence of Marxism and Bolshevism on the current of revolutionary 'black internationalism' and analyses how 'Red October' was viewed within the contested articulations of different struggles against racism and colonialism. Challenging European-centred understandings of the Russian Revolution and the global left, The Red and the Black offers new insights on the relations between Communism, various lefts and anti-colonialisms across the Black Atlantic - including Garveyism and various other strands of Pan-Africanism. The volume makes a major and original intellectual contribution by making the relations between the Russian Revolution and the Black Atlantic central to debates on questions relating to racism, resistance and social change.

        The renewal of post-war Manchester

        Planning, architecture and the state

        by Richard Brook

        A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.

        Hyde Park

        by James Shirley

        by Helen Ostovich, Eugene Giddens

        Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.
