        Querido Diego, Te abraza Quiela by Elena Poniatowska

        by Elena Poniatowska

        by Nathanial Gardner

        One of the threads that runs through Elena Poniatowska's oeuvre is that of foreigners who have fallen in love with Mexico and its people. This is certainly the case of Querido Diego, te abraza Quiela - a brief novel (so short it was originally published in its entirety in Octavio Paz's literary magazine Vuelta). The Russian exile and painter Angelina Beloff writes from the cold and impoverished post-war Paris to Diego Rivera, her spouse of over ten years. Beloff sends these letters to which there is no response during a time when the emancipation of women has broken many of the standard models and the protagonist struggles to fashion her own. Elena Poniatowska has (re)created these letters and within them one finds the unforgettable testimony of an artist and her lover during the valuable crossroads of a new time when Diego Rivera was forging a new life in his native country. In this edition, Nathanial Gardner comments on the truth and fiction Poniatowska has woven together to form this compact, yet rich, modern classic. Using archives in London, Paris and Mexico City (including Angelina's correspondence held in Frida Kahlo's own home) as well as interviews from the final remaining characters who knew the real Angelina, Gardner offers a mediation of the text and its historical groundings as well as critical commentary. This edition will appeal to both students and scholars of Latin American Studies as well as lovers of Mexican Literature and Art in general.

        »Ich habe etwas zu sagen«

        Frauen, die das Wort ergreifen

        by Rita Kohlmaier, Stevie Schmiedel

        Immer mehr Frauen wagen den öffentlichen Protest und den Aufstand: Gemeinsam marschieren sie und protestieren gegen ungleiche Bezahlung und ungleiche Bildungschancen, eine übermächtige Waffenlobby, Rassismus oder sexuelle Gewalt. Sie ergreifen das Wort und ihre klaren Botschaften inspirieren (nicht nur) Mädchen und Frauen, Haltung zu beziehen und sich für ihre Rechte deutlicher denn je einzusetzen. In diesem Buch werden charismatische, unbequeme und couragierte Frauen vorgestellt, die mit ihren Reden und öffentlichen Aktionen die Welt verändert haben oder genau jetzt verändern. Viel zu lange haben Frauen nur gelesen und geschrieben und wirkten lange im Hintergrund oder ganz im Verborgenen. Väter, Brüder, der liebe Gott und eine patriarchale Politik bestimmten über ihr Wohl und Wehe, ihren Körper und Geist, ihren Freiraum und dessen Begrenzung. Schluss damit! Mitreißend geschriebene Porträts über Michelle Obama, Angelina Jolie, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Malala Yousafzai, Oprah Winfrey, Emma González, ebenso über Rosa Luxemburg, Waltraud Schoppe, Rosa Parks u. v. m.

        Shanghai Junior

        A Story in China 1929

        by Evan Huang

        The year is 1929. The Republic of China in its 18th year of existence has just established its capital in Nanjing, but large swaths of the nation are still ruled by warlords and foreign powers still maintain their own strongholds. It’s a time of excitement, transformation, and chaos. In Shanghai, the financial and cultural hub of the Republic, “modern” young women and men in Western-style clothes head to movie theaters, dance halls, and coffee shops amidst the rapid development, and the new trends ripple across the nation. Beyond the splendor, however, a dark side exists: tensions between the Chinese administrators and their foreign counterparts threaten to boil over, criminal gangs compete for control of the still-thriving opium trade, and those seduced by the phantoms of money and power sometimes pay the ultimate price. This is the landscape in which Shanghai Junior takes place. Angelina Fan is coming to terms with the murder of her loving father, the latest casualty of the opium trade. The police commissioner, faced with the challenge of solving a high-profile murder in the French Concession district, calls in brave young bounty hunter Tony Shine. Brought together by fate, Angelina and Tony find themselves immersed in the adventure of a lifetime…and in mortal danger. Combining exquisite illustrations, historical details of a fascinating time and place, a suspenseful murder mystery, and a coming-of-age love story, author and illustrator Evan Huang brings us a thrilling new graphic novel.

        My Name is Gauhar Jaan

        Life and Times of a Musician

        by Vikram Sampath

        The earliest recordings of Indian music are characterised by the high-pitched announcement, ‘My name is Gauhar Jaan.’ This declaration epitomised a milestone in the history of Indian classical music, one that would forever change its content, structure and style.The musical scene in India at the turn of the 20th century witnessed tumultuous changes. The traditional custodians of the art form, the devadasis in the south and the nautch girls in the north, who had nurtured the art for centuries, became victims of the morality laws of the British government and the prudery of an ‘enlightened’ Indian elitist class. Gauhar Jaan (1873-1930), however, an eminent Hindustani vocalist, symbolises the resurgence of women musicians of her era. Born Eileen Angelina Yeoward, an Armenian Christian who later converted to Islam, Gauhar Jaan was a naturally gifted musician with an outstanding repertoire. One of the earliest women artists to seize the opportunities that rose with the advent of recording technologies, hers was the first Indian voice to ever be recorded in 1902. She went on to cut close to 600 records, the most successful female musician of her time. This book traces her story, a story peppered with the stuff myth and legend, as well as the times during which she lived. It also describes the evolution of the Indian recording industry and its impact on the country’s music, theatre and social life.

        An Angelina Bonaparte Mystery

        by Nanci Rathbun

        In TRUTH KILLS, librarian-turned-private-investigator Angelina Bonaparte is a woman on a mission––to ferret out cheaters and lowlifes and bring them to justice.  Angie has plenty of experience with such men––and not just because her former husband was the king of the lot.  As a P.I. in Milwaukee, most of Angie’s work is tracking down deadbeats and exposing unfaithful spouses.  But, now she’s been asked by a betrayed pregnant wife to prove her cheating husband, Anthony Belloni––aka Tony Baloney––innocent of the murder of his kept mistress.  Angie’s heart tells her to let the skunk rot in prison, but her head convinces her that adultery is not grounds for incarceration.  During the investigation, Angie encounters so many people who wished the victim dead that she has to develop a chart to keep track of them all.  She also encounters hunky police detective Ted Wukowski, who is still reeling from the death of his former female MPD partner at the hands of a narcotics gang, and thinks women don’t belong in the path of danger.  As they work toward the same goal––discovering the dead woman’s killer––Angie and Detective Wukowski realize their attraction for each other and must decide whether they are strong enough as individuals to work through her lack of trust and his fear of loss.

        Cash Kills

        An Angelina Bonaparte Mystery

        by Nanci Rathbun

        When her office mate, accountant Susan Neh, brings Angelina Bonaparte a client named Adriana Johnson, the PI wonders how she can help this bedraggled young woman.   Adriana’s parents, immigrants from the former Yugoslavia, were murdered only a week earlier, in a robbery at their small hardware store. Now she has discovered that, despite living like the working poor, they were actually quite wealthy––with numerous large bank accounts located around the world.  Adriana is suspicious about her newfound status and hires Angie to discover the nature of her deceased parents’ wealth.  When Angie arrives to interview with the parents’ attorney, Herman Petrovitch, he is missing, but his secretary Dragana is there––lying dead on the office floor, with her head blown off.  Homicide detective––and Angie’s own boyfriend––Ted Wukowski, cautions her against getting involved in the murder investigation.  Of course, Angie pays little heed to his warning. Angie realizes immediately that Adriana’s concerns about her parents’ money are probably well- founded and, even worse, that the young woman may be in great danger herself.   She secures the assistance of her father’s rotund attorney, Bart Matthews, who quickly arranges for protection for Angie’s young client, while Angie begins to look into Adriana’s parents’ background.  In their family home, she discovers some strange artifacts in the attic, along with what appear to be Serbian military uniforms and an ethnic wedding dress.  Her investigation soon leads her to suspect a connection between Adriana’s parents, Attorney Petrovitch, and the Bosnian War of the 1980s.  How or why are they linked? Angie doesn’t know, but she’s as determined to find out as others are determined to prevent her from doing so.  So she’d better watch her back, because someone knows about the money in those bank accounts and they don’t intend to let Adriana inherit it.
