In ihrem vielfach ausgezeichneten, bereits in mehr als 20 Sprachen übersetzten Roman erzählt Tahmima Anam die Geschichte einer Familie: eine Geschichte von Liebe und Revolution, von Glaube, Hoffnung und unerwartetem Heldentum. Im Chaos des Krieges in Bangladesch muß jeder wählen, zu welcher Seite er gehören will. Rehana Haque hat zunächst nur ein Ziel: ihre Kinder zu retten. Und schließlich muß auch sie eine schwere Entscheidung treffen. Dhaka, Ostpakistan, am Vorabend des Unabhängigkeitskrieges. Rehana Haque ist glücklich: Wie jedes Jahr feiert sie die Rückkehr ihrer Kinder Maja und Sohail, die sie nach dem Tod ihres Mannes zu verlieren fürchtete. Im Garten ihres Hauses blühen die Rosen, ihr Spezialgericht Biryani ist gelungen, die Kinder, bald erwachsen, sind noch immer der Mittelpunkt ihres Lebens und erwidern die Liebe der Mutter respektvoll und zärtlich. Doch in der Stadt brodelt es. Der bengalische Oppositionsführer Mujib hat die Wahl gewonnen, aber die pakistanische Regierung weigert sich, ihn anzuerkennen. Aufruhr liegt in der Luft. Maja und Sohail, die in der Studentenbewegung für die Unabhängigkeit engagiert sind, zieht es zu ihren Freunden. Doch keiner von Rehanas Gästen ahnt, was folgen wird. Der Freiheitskampf in Bangladesch wird von Pakistan unfaßbar grausam unterdrückt. Und das Leben von Rehana und ihrer Familie wird von Grund auf erschüttert werden.

Although women are often advised to exercise during pregnancy and after birth, there is little information available about the tremendous benefits of physical activity for both mother and baby, or what kinds of exercise are safe and appropriate. In Why Pregnancy and Postnatal Exercise Matter, Rehana Jawadwala, an exercise physiologist and perinatal yoga teacher, looks at the evidence for supporting physical activity in mothers, as well as how women’s physiology changes during pregnancy and after they give birth, answering in detail the questions that mothers and those supporting them may have.
In GUIDED! Shannon combines practical how-to's and case studies with magical worldwide adventures, reminiscent of Elizabeth Gifford's Eat, Pray, Love and Sonia Choquette's Trust Your Vibes. Shannon’s voice in GUIDED! How to Communicate with Your Spirit Guides is as strong and bright as her personality. Her concise and ‘to the point’ method of writing is refreshing. In the biography section of the book, Shannon is candid about her tumultuous journey, which includes much sadness and hardship. She writes with empathy. There are two main sections to the book; Part I, Ways to Hear from your Guides - is practical and describes in detail how to make a connection with your angelic helpers. Part II, is an inspiring biography of Shannon’s life and is as entertaining as it is informative. What South African personalities say about Shannon "Shannon brings beautiful spirit energy to help people better their lives. I've seen it happen."- Katlego Msumo, presenter, Soweto TV. "Being on the radio next to Shannon has opened my eyes to the invisible world!" - Thando Mkhize, presenter on Kaya FM and former Big Brother contestant. “Shannon's 'translations' about people who she's met only through the telephone are somewhat astounding and even a brief time with her will make you rethink any scepticism you have about the supernatural.”- Rehana Dada, SAfm presenter, SABC producer, and environmentalist.

This monograph presents a history of caste and class in the modern city through the experience of Dalits (members of the lowest caste) in twentieth-century Bombay. There, urban life did not dismantle caste, but instead made it robust and insulated it in the garb of modernity. Juned Shaikh demonstrates that the urban built environment and language are two sites for the habitation of caste in Bombay, as they are the spaces where it was concealed and eclipsed by class. The built environment is thus a quintessential marker, in which elements such as housing, tenements, slums, water supply, and drainage systems readily divulge the class of inhabitants. Shaikh explores the intersection and entanglement of caste and class by focusing on a cluster of groups that occupied subordinate positions in both these hierarchies: the Dalits. Their experience is relevant not only to South Asianists, but resonates with that of oppressed populations throughout the world.
