        The Glass Slipper Literary Agency is a full-service literary agency that seeks to excavate, unearth and unveil stories that provoke, trigger, inflame, inspire and awaken, bringing diverse, marginalized and globally appealing voices to the world. We work with authors and publishers across the Americas, Europe, UK, and South Asia. We aim to change the face of the publishing industry by increasing diversity and evoking marginalized and underrepresented voices, including BIPOC,  LGBTQIA, neurodivergent, and/or differently-abled authors.   We proactively nurture writers across the world and take them through every stage of the roller-coaster that is intrinsic to getting published and/or having your work optioned for on-screen adaptation spanning films, TV shows, web series, and more. We believe in developing and furthering the careers of our authors, also helping them build a solid presence across all traditional and non-traditional media, worldwide. Beyond the contours of traditional representation to publishers, we brainstorm potential new projects, orchestrate all book rights for our clients, including translation, republication and entertainment rights, and actively pitch our authors and their works for slots in prime TV shows, print and electronic media outlets, including but not limited to, interviews, Q&As, book reviews and longer-form features on our writers and their works.

        Round our way

        Sam Hanna's visual legacy

        by Heather Nicholson

        Sam Hanna (1903-96), a pioneering filmmaker from Burnley, Lancashire, was dubbed the 'Lowry of filmmaking' by BBC broadcaster Brian Redhead in the 1980s. The well-meant label stuck, even though it misses the variety of Hanna's remarkable output. Hanna's intimate glimpses into the lives of strangers enable us to imagine the possible stories that lie behind the images. Away from mid-century exponents of documentary filmmaking and photography, Hanna shows us humanity and a microcosm of a world in change, where his subjects are caught up in issues far beyond their grasp that we, as onlookers years later, encounter and see afresh. Written and curated by historian Heather Norris Nicholson, Round our way combines stills, essays and archive photography to document Hanna's unique visual record on film, particularly in northern England, but also further afield, during decades of profound change.

        Mit jedem Schlag unserer Flügel

        Der Abschluss der weltberühmten Autobiographie

        by Maya Angelou, Marieke Heimburger

        Ein Angebot von Malcolm X lockt sie Mitte der Sechziger zurück in ihre Heimat. Maya Angelou soll Seite an Seite mit dem Schwarzen Bürgerrechtler arbeiten. Ihre vier Jahre in Ghana enden, genau wie die Versuche, auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent Versöhnung zu finden. Was nun beginnt, ist der offene Kampf gegen den Rassismus in den Vereinigten Staaten, mit viel zu vielen Opfern: Malcolm X wird erschossen, im Stadtteil Watts im Süden von Los Angeles kosten Ausschreitungen zahlreichen Schwarzen Menschen das Leben, Martin Luther King stirbt bei einem Attentat … Aus nächster Nähe berichtet Maya Angelou von den historischen Rückschlägen und der Gewalt, von der Macht eines menschenverachtenden Systems, bis sie ein zweites Mal in ihrem Leben vor Schmerz fast verstummt. James Baldwin ist es, der ihr Sinn und Zweck und Kraft und Schönheit der Worte in Erinnerung ruft und sie bittet, schreib es alles auf. Mit jedem Schlag unserer Flügel schließt den Kreis. Maya Angelou beschwört darin die Opfer auf dem Weg zu mehr Gerechtigkeit. Sie bezeugt den Überlebenswillen der Schwarzen Gemeinschaft und feiert die Sprache als Ort der Erlösung.

        Shifting Cultivation Policies

        Balancing Environmental and Social Sustainability

        by Malcolm Cairns

        Shifting cultivation supports as many as 300 million people in the Asia-Pacific region alone. Yet Governments often regard it as a primitive and inefficient form of agriculture that destroys forests, causes soil erosion and robs lowland areas of water. These negative perceptions are not supported by research, yet they have been used as a pretext for acts verging on genocide. We must urgently challenge these misconceptions and consider the policy implications. Supported and encouraged, swidden farming has the potential to play a major role in carbon sequestration and conservation of land and biodiversity, as well as retaining a cultural heritage of many thousands of years. This comprehensive analysis of past and present policy highlights successes and failures and emphasizes the importance of getting it right for the future.

        Farmer Innovations and Best Practices by Shifting Cultivators in Asia-Pacific

        by Malcolm Cairns

        This book, the third of a series, shows how shifting cultivators, from the Himalayan foothills to the Pacific Islands, have devised ways to improve their farming systems. Using case studies collected over many years, it considers the importance of swidden agriculture to food security and livelihoods, and its environmental significance, across multiple cultures, forest and cropping systems. There is a particular focus on soil fertility and climate change challenges. It is a 'must read' for those who realize that if the lives of shifting cultivators are to be improved, then far more attention needs to be directed to the indigenous and often ingenious innovations that shifting cultivators have themselves been able to develop. Many of these innovations and best practices will have strong potential for extrapolation to shifting cultivators elsewhere and to farming systems in general. This book: - Highlights innovations of shifting cultivators. - Combines solid science with accessible language and outstanding artwork. - Provides a collection of case studies unprecedented in its scope. This book will be suitable for students and researchers of agriculture, anthropology, sociology, agricultural economics, human ecology, ethnobotany, forestry, agroforestry, agronomy, soil science, farming systems, geography, environmental science and natural resource management.

        Selbstverteidigung

        Eine Philosophie der Gewalt

        by Elsa Dorlin, Andrea Hemminger

        Vom Sklavenwiderstand bis zum Jiu-Jitsu der Suffragetten, vom Aufstand im Warschauer Ghetto bis zu den Black Panther und den Queer-Patrouillen zeichnet Elsa Dorlin in ihrem preisgekrönten Buch eine Genealogie der politischen Selbstverteidigung nach. Diese Geschichte der Gewalt wirft ein neues Licht auf die Definition der modernen Subjektivität und die zeitgenössische Sicherheitspolitik. Sie führt zu einer Neuinterpretation der politischen Philosophie, in deren Rahmen Hobbes und Locke mit Frantz Fanon, Michel Foucault, Malcolm X, June Jordan und Judith Butler in ein faszinierendes Streitgespräch geraten.
