        Mommies!
        Children's & YA

        Mommies!

        by Richa Jha and Priya Sebastian

        Mommies come in all shapes and sizes but that is not all, they come packed with all sorts of personalities too. The narrative of Mommies challenges the norm of reducing an independent, unique being to gender and just the title of a ‘Mom’, and explores beyond the conventional views of what motherhood should be. Richa Jha delivers a strong statement through the purity of a child’s voice and forges a bond between all the vastly different mothers from across the globe, united by their love for their child. Priya Sebastian’s artwork reflects the depth of a simple narrative and manages to capture the diverse beauty of each and every figure of motherhood.

        The state and ‘terrorists’ in Nepal and Northern Ireland

        The social construction of state terrorism

        by Priya Dixit

        This book compares the use of 'terrorism' by states in the Global North (Britain in Northern Ireland) and South (Nepal), examining particular events over time. As such, it questions conventional understandings that states cannot be 'terrorists' and that post '9/11' terrorism is new. It does so by outlining how states have used the label of 'terrorism' to establish a specific 'counterterrorist' identity for themselves and by indicating how similar strategies of representation were used by the British and Nepali states while labeling others as 'terrorist'. Because it draws on rhetorical analysis, discursive psychology and critical security studies to analyze the politics of labelling, it is expected this book will be useful to a wide range of readers from political science, international relations, terrorism studies and also media, cultural and area studies. ;

        WHY I CAN'T WRITE

        How to survive in a world where you can’t pay rent, can’t afford to focus, be healthy or to remain principled. Dijana Matković tells a powerful story of searching for a room of her own in the late stages of capitalism.

        by DIJANA MATKOVIĆ

        It is a coming-of-age story for Generation Z. How to grow up or even live in a world where no steady jobs are available, you can’t pay your rent and can’t afford medical or living expenses. Moreover, it touches on how to be a socially engaged artist in such a world, and more so, a woman in a post-me too world? Dijana, a daughter of working-class immigrants, tells the story of her difficult childhood and adolescence, how should became a journalist and later a writer in a society full of prejudices, glass ceilings and obstacles. How she gradually became a stereotypical ‘success story’, even though she still struggles with writing, because she can’t afford a ‘room of her own’.   Dijana is a daughter of working-class immigrants, who came to Slovenia in the eighties in search of a better future. The family is building a house but is made redundant from the local factory when Yugoslavia is in the midst of an economic crisis. When her parents get divorced, Dijana, her older sister and mother struggle with basic needs. She is ashamed of their poverty, her classmates bully her because of her immigrant status, but mostly because of her being ‘white trash’. In the local school she meets teachers with prejudices against immigrants, but is helped by a librarian who spots her talent. When Dijana goes to secondary school, she moves in with her older sister who lives in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Her sister is into rave culture and Dijana starts to explore experimenting with drugs, music and dance. At the secondary school, she is again considered ‘the weird kid’, as she isn’t enough of a foreigner for other immigrant kids because she is from the country, yet she isn’t Slovenian enough for other native kids. She falls even deeper into drug addiction, fails the first year of school and has to move back to live with her mother. She takes on odd jobs to make ends meet. Whilst working as a waitress she encounters sexism and sexual violence from customers and abuse from the boss. She finishes night school and graduates. She meets many ‘lost’ people of her generation along the way, who tell her their stories about precarious, minimum wage jobs, lack of opportunities, expensive rent, etc. Dijana writes for numerous newspapers but loses or quits her job, because she isn’t allowed to write the stories she wants or because of the bad working conditions or the blatant sexual harassment. Due to the high rent in the capital, Dijana has to move to the countryside to live with her mother. She feels lonely there, struggles with anxiety and cannot write a second book, because she is constantly under pressure to make a living. She realises that she must persevere regardless of the obstacles, she must follow her inner truth and by writing about it, try to create a community of like-minded people, a community of people who support each other – all literature/art is social.

        What Gandhi Didn't See

        Being Indian in South Africa

        by Zainab Priya Dala

        From the vantage point of her own personal history—a fourth-generation Indian South African of mixed lineage—indentured as well as trader class, part Hindu, part Muslim—Dala explores the nuts and bolts of being Indian in South Africa today. From 1684 till the present, the Indian diaspora in South Africa has had a long history. But in the country of their origin, they remain synonymous with three points of identity: indenture, apartheid and Mahatma Gandhi. In this series of essays, Zainab Priya Dala deftly lifts the veil on some of the many other facets of South African Indians, starting with the question: How relevant is Gandhi to them today? It is a question Dala answers with searing honesty, just as she tackles the questions of the ‘new racism’—between Black Africans and Indians—and the ‘new apartheid’—money; the tussle between the ‘canefields’ where she grew up, and the ‘Casbah’, or the glittering town of Durban; and what the changing patterns in the names the Indian community chooses to adopt reflect. In writing that is fluid, incisive and sensitive, she explores the new democratic South Africa that took birth long after Gandhi returned to the subcontinent, and the fight against apartheid was fought and won. In this new ‘Rainbow Nation’, the people of Indian origin are striving to keep their ties to Indian culture whilst building a stronger South African identity. Zainab Priya Dala describes some of the scenarios that result from this dichotomy.

        Akosua and Osman

        by Manu Herbstein

        Akosua Annan is a confident and fiercely intelligent student at a posh school in Cape Coast, Ghana. There she comes under the influence of a charismatic feminist teacher. Osman Said’s background is very different. Upon the death of his parents, a police sergeant and an unschooled market trader, immigrants to Accra from the North, he is adopted by a retired school teacher, Hajia Zainab. After a spell as an apprentice in an auto workshop, he returns to school. There, finding the teaching inadequate, he becomes an avid reader and educates himself. Akosua and Osman are thrown together by chance in the course of a school visit to the slave dungeon at Cape Coast Castle. Their paths cross again as finalists in the national school debating competition where the subject is “The problem of poverty in Ghana is insoluble.” They meet for the third time as students at the University of Ghana and as we leave them, it looks as if their relationship might develop into something permanent. The friendship between Akosua and Osman is one that transcends differences of ethnic origin, class and religion. This story celebrates the diversity of Ghanaian society. “This fascinating novel tells the story of how these two young people from these disparate backgrounds are brought together as if by an unseen hand, in a process that teaches us about our history, our common humanity despite ethnic differences, the need to pursue our ambitions, the strength of human sexuality and the need for self-discipline, and, above all, the power of love.” The Judges, Burt Award for African Literature, 2011.

        DRINKING MY WAY TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH (La Ruta del Vino)

        by Lily Huang

        In every part of the world there is that preferred alcoholic beverage without which a meal would not be complete. But what is the origin of each of these regional favorites? Was it a new varietal bred in a vineyard? Or was it found in a long-forgotten bottle in a musty cellar? With author and veteran drinker Lily Huang as their guide, readers will sample alcoholic offerings from around the world, learning the history and stories behind each of these prized libations. From Latin American countries like Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, to the less-travelled Baltic states, Lily will stop at nothing to uncover the origins of specialty alcohols – even if it means travelling to the North Pole!   Along the way Lily tells the story of how the love of a harsh local firewater took root in a war-ravaged nation, why warming medicinal liqueurs are so common in the north, and how cool, refreshing cocktails came to be associated with tourist destinations in the tropics. Her research into the origins of these regional specialties is complemented by keen observations of daily life and local customs. For readers inspired to sample these rare draughts for themselves, essential travel information is provided.    Through flowing prose, scenic photography, and attractive layouts, readers follow the course of Lily’s pilgrimage of the spirits, partaking in each raised glass along the way. Whether the destination is a bustling metropolis, or a lone shack in the middle of the desert, you can be sure Lily Huang will leave no stone unturned in her pursuit of a storied tipple!

        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.

        Etudes for Papa

        by Sean Chuang

        Dedicated to all fathers, a graphic novel composed with warmth and love for my son. Fatherhood is one of the quintessential human experiences. Sean CHUANG used to wonder, what goes through a father’s mind in the first years? What challenges and hardships does he face? Then CHUANG found himself raising a child of his own, and these questions were being answered. In the middle of the chaos, he began reliving his own childhood, and his thoughts turned to his own father. Perhaps it is the eternal sameness of experiences like fatherhood that connect us across the generations. A rookie dad is just like a child. CHUANG hopes this record of those first years with his son will be helpful to the reader who is father to a young child, or soon to be, and that any reader will find in it something of interest and value.
