        The Manic Panic

        by Richa Jha and Mithila Ananth

        Mom and Dad completely lose the plot the day the Wifi stops working in the house. In a role reversal of sorts, it's up to little Shivi to get her bored and tantrum-throwing parents to see that there is a perfectly wonderful life to be enjoyed beyond their screen-craze.    Mithila Ananth’s zany, whimsical digital illustrations with a minimal neat colour palette and a touch of quiet humour throw into sharp focus Richa Jha’s funny story done as a second-person narrative. Together, they draw the reader right into the centre of this book’s relatable universe.

        The Middle

        by Richa Jha and Eva Sanchez Gomez

        The Middle is a story of a journey within a journey. A voracious reader, Azma, whose mind is full of questions as she reads, finds that the more books she consumes, the more the whys and hows in them consume her. One night, a torn scrap of paper floats into her room, carrying an incomplete line within its crinkles. She desperately searches for any missing words to complete the lonely phrase but failing at each attempt, she finally turns to writing her own beginning and end.  The pages of The Middle are filled with surreal creatures - formidable, terrifying, looming – and these represent the fears and doubts of a mind struggling to make sense of the worlds captured within those books that only partially satisfy her as a reader. Azma embarks on an incomplete journey, ready to create its origin and end, finally realising the answers to all her impossible questions can only come to her when she writes her own version of the story. It is only then that the haunting creatures begin to soften and harmlessly melt away into themselves. Richa Jha’s lyrical prose and Eva Sanchez Gomez’s breathtaking visual poetry come together to narrate a tale that is both stunning and thought-provoking. For all the restless creative souls out there, The Middle presents an all-familiar trajectory of creating something new.

        Giggi and Daddy

        by Richa Jha and Mithila Ananth

        Daddy wasn’t Daddy until Ria popped out of his pocket. Or so he says. Giggi and Daddy is a light-hearted tale which through an innocent clash of narratives between a father and his daughter explores the evolving definition of what it means to be the ‘Best Dad in the World’.  Richa Jha takes the reader on a jolly fun ride of tall tales and a fancy imagination, and an adorable Daddy-daughter duo. Mithila Ananth’s blend of simple uncomplicated lines and textured backdrops that ooze perfect comic timing make this book a hilarious visual treat.

        Boo! When My Sister Died

        by Richa Jha and Gautam Benegal

        When Noorie’s sister Zoya dies, everything in Noorie’s world becomes silent. She knows her sister has gone forever. But what’s with Mummy’s silly lies that Zoya will always be around, by their side?  And what is she to do about Zoya’s best friend Dhara, who just won’t leave Noorie alone? Boo! When My Sister Died is a story about finding strength in love and loss. Gautam Benegal blends a playful watercolour and wash-style with a somber digital crosshatch to bring together warmth in the memories of the sisters’ togetherness and the intensity of Noorie’s grief.  Richa Jha’s spare and simple text keeps the story poignant, believable, and full of hope.

        Duster

        by Richa Jha and Neeti Banerji

        Duster the dog is more a cat. He loves the naps, the flaps, and the fish. And he doesn’t like to announce arrivals, to play fetch, and to dig for bones. Especially, certainly, not the bones.  His human craves dog love. Will the two ever be right for each other? Richa Jha brings forth a tiny tale of love and companionship and strikes a chord in the hearts of all the pet-lovers in the world. Neeti Banerji breathes life into the world of Duster and her illustrations reflect the love and understanding Duster needs in his journey to forge a bond with his human.

        Machher Jhol

        by Richa Jha and Sumanta Dey

        When Gopu’s father (Baba) falls sick, the visually impaired Gopu knows he would have to step out alone. He negotiates the crowds, the markets, and the traffic of the city of Calcutta, all by himself, to reach his grandma’s house to get her to cook Baba’s favourite fish curry. Does he succeed in bringing it home to him?  In this book, Richa Jha writes as much about the courage of Gopu as she does about the sounds and smells of a bustling metropolis. Sumanta Dey brings alive the city of Calcutta between the covers of this book and makes the readers feel they are walking alongside Gopu.

        Vee Loved Garlic

        by Richa Jha and Kunal Kundu

        When Miss Vee Noonie falls in love with garlic, there is pandemonium in the house. She is a vampire, after all. Her parents do their best to urge her to stay away from it. Garlic, they tell her, is fatal for vampires. Freethinker Vee’s research tells her that’s not true and she leaves no stone unturned in convincing her folks. Does she succeed? Richa Jha celebrates a young thinking mind’s spirit of inquisitiveness, questioning the given, persuasiveness and non-conformist free will in this pacey picture book that is packed with sharp dialogues, intense passion, and chic humour. The breathtaking sweep of Kunal Kundu’s detailed etching and dramatic artwork lingers on till long after the book has been put aside.

        The Soul

        by Richa Jha and Ruchi Shah

        The lonely writer Lekhan huffs and puffs every time the noisy street he lives in brings a new disturbance to interrupt his tales. Desperate to find a solution, Lekhan devises a plan which slowly leads him away from all the giggles and pitter-patter and chitter-chatter. The only problem remains is that his stories are silent, they do not cry anymore. Nor do they smile anymore. Richa Jha’s narrative sprinkles magic in the tedious effort to find and express into words, the soul of a story. Ruchi Shah’s vivid and curious illustrations bring to life an artist’s journey towards inspiration and drawing the best of their art from the world around them.

        Feministin werden

        by Priya Basil, Beatrice Faßbender

        Aufgewachsen zwischen zwei Frauen – Mutter und Großmutter –, die gegensätzlicher nicht sein könnten, sucht Priya Basil ihre eigene feministische Stimme. Getrieben von der Vergangenheit, der Vielfalt der Positionen und einer außerordentlichen Erfahrung – der kollaborativen Übernahme eines Modemagazins durch 39 Frauen – beschreibt sie ihren Weg zu mehr Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit. Brilliant verbindet Priya Basil Selbstverortung mit Philosophie und mitreißender Gesellschaftsanalyse. Und liefert mit Hilfe vieler Verbündeter eine Antwort auf die Frage: Was tun gegen die tief verwurzelte Abwertung von Frauen in unserer Sprache, Geschichte und Gesellschaft? Feministin werden, im Wir und Jetzt.

        Gastfreundschaft

        by Priya Basil, Beatrice Faßbender

        »Ich lade dich ein.« Ein Satz, der Vorfreude weckt: auf einen anregenden Abend bei leckerem Essen und guten Gesprächen. Doch die berühmte Gastfreundschaft ist noch viel mehr als das –sie ist ein vielseitiges Geben und Nehmen, das Familie, Freunde und Fremde einschließt und in jeder Kultur etwas anders ist. Die in London geborene, in Kenia aufgewachsene und heute in Berlin lebende Autorin Priya Basil erzählt von den indisch-kenianischen Traditionen ihrer Familie, von einer unerwarteten Einladung zum Spargelessen und einer Massenspeisung in einem Sikh-Tempel mitten in Berlin. Sie hält ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für ein gastfreundliches Europa und lädt dabei immer wieder in ihre eigene Küche ein. Denn die besten Gespräche führt man bekanntlich an einem reich gedeckten Tisch: über Gott und die Welt, Politik und Kultur und über die Frage, ob es eigentlich bedingungslose Gastfreundschaft gibt.

        Hatred of Jews

        A never-ending story?

        by Sebastian Voigt

        — An overall presentation of the history of anti-Semitism based on the latest research — A necessary book that helps to recognise (and combat) anti-Jewish attitudes and patterns of behaviour even in the present day The Hamas attack on Israel is further aggravating the situation in the Middle East, and will continue to intensify anti-Semitism. And this plague, combined with Israel’s denied right to exist; the attacks in Brussels and Paris; the aggressive violence against everything Jewish in the Islamic world – is as dangerous as ever. Hatred of the Jews is old, vast and strong. The anamnesis began 2500 years ago in the Middle Ages, and came to head in the 18th and 19th centuries. It culminated ideologically in the Wannsee Conference, and became murderous in Auschwitz. Historian Sebastian Voigt provides a dense history of the hatred of the Jews – and combines it with a passionate call for courageous resistance.

        How nature makes history

        by Sebastian Jutzi

        Humans write history, but nature and coincidence often play a significant part in making history. The weather, volcanoes, celestial bodies, pathogens: all of them can influence historical events. In 413 BC, a lunar eclipse contributed to the defeat of the Athenians by Syracuse. In 1802, Napoleon’s soldiers on Saint-Domingue, the Haiti of today, were carried off in their thousands by yellow fever; the slave revolt that the troops had been sent to suppress succeeded, and the island declared itself independent in 1804. Nature not only makes history, it can also contribute to the understanding of history. For example, the route that the Carthaginians took over the Alps was only revealed recently by the discovery of ancient manure – not too surprising since Hannibal was accompanied by an estimated 10,000 horses. Sebastian Jutzi relates these and many other (hi)stories in a knowledgeable, entertaining and informative way – a treasure trove for anyone who wants to get to know history from an “unusual” perspective.

        »Wie wunderbar sind deine Werke«

        by Michael Maul

        „Wie wunderbar sind deine Werke“ – Eine Liebeserklärung an die Musik des Thomaskantors BachJohann Sebastian Bachs 300 Jahre alte Kirchenmusik begeistert heute Musikfreunde auf der ganzen Welt. Der bekannte Bachforscher Michael Maul, Intendant des Leipziger Bachfestes, bietet mit seinem neuen Buch eine fundierte und zugleich gut verständliche 'Gebrauchsanweisung' für die Musik des berühmten Leipziger Thomaskantors. Er staunt anschaulich über atemberaubende Momente in Bachs Kantaten, Passionen oder der h-Moll-Messe, und er lässt in seinen sehr persönlichen Monologen mit Bach den Entstehungskontext der Werke und die oft verblüffenden Zusammenhänge zwischen Text und Musik - und manchmal auch Biographie - lebendig werden. Zugleich deckt Maul auf, warum Bach alsbald an seiner "wunderlichen Obrigkeit" verzweifelte, er die zunächst unbändige Lust auf das Komponieren von Kirchenmusik nach fünf Jahren im Thomaskantorat fast gänzlich verlor und sich mehr und mehr in eine innere Emigration zurückzog. Kurz: Mauls neues Buch ist eine ebenso glühende wie berührende Liebeserklärung an seinen Komponisten-Gott. Sie verfolgt vor allem ein Ziel: bei den Leserinnen und Lesern Lust zu wecken, sich Bachs Werke anzuhören. Zahlreiche Abbildungen und eine bei Spotify abrufbare Playlist ergänzen den Band und machen ihn zu einem Geschenkbuch für alle Musikliebhaber.

        Koran erklärt

        by Willi Steul, Sebastian Engelbrecht, Thorsten Gerald Schneiders

        Seit dem 6. März 2015 sendet der Deutschlandfunk jeden Freitag die Sendereihe »Koran erklärt«. Bis Dezember 2016 erläuterten darin 51 islamische Theologen und Islamwissenschaftler aus acht Ländern 84 kurze Texte aus dem Koran. Diese Texte sind im vorliegenden Band versammelt. Ergänzt werden diese Auslegungen durch ein Vorwort von Willi Steul, dem Intendanten von Deutschlandradio, sowie drei Hintergrundessays: Thorsten Gerald Schneiders gibt einen Überblick über die Geschichte der Koranauslegung, Angelika Neuwirth problematisiert die »Koranexegese zwischen Theologie und Orientalistik«, und Sebastian Engelbrecht rekonstruiert »Die Beteiligung des Islams am Rundfunk in Deutschland«. Das Buch bietet Information und Aufklärung über den Koran. Es ermöglicht einen Zugang zur heiligen Schrift einer Weltreligion und lädt zu einer differenzierten Betrachtung des Korans ein. Das sind Aufgaben des öffentlichrechtlichen Rundfunks – gerade in Zeiten, in denen Ängste und Emotionen zu Vorurteilen und Ausgrenzung führen.

        Prekäre Wissenschaft in Deutschland

        by Amrei Bahr, Kristin Eichhorn, Sebastian Kubon

        Seit 2007 prekarisiert das Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz Arbeitsbedingungen und Berufsaussichten des akademischen Mittelbaus: Das Gros der Wissenschaftler:innen hangelt sich von einem befristeten Job zum nächsten, und wer nach zwölf Jahren keine feste Stelle hat, fällt endgültig aus dem System heraus. Als 2021 ein Video des Forschungsministeriums in den Fokus gerät, in dem am Beispiel der fiktiven Biologin »Hanna« die vermeintlichen Vorzüge des Gesetzes gepriesen werden, lancieren Amrei Bahr, Kristin Eichhorn und Sebastian Kubon den Hashtag #IchBinHanna. Binnen weniger Stunden machen zahllose Wissenschaftler:innen ihrem Ärger Luft. Sie schildern die Auswirkungen der Prekarität auf ihr Leben, berichten von Überlastung und Depressionen. Die Medien greifen das Thema auf, und »Hanna« schafft es wenig später sogar in den Bundestag. In ihrer Streitschrift legen die Initiator:innen dar, welche Folgen das »WissZeitVG« für Forschende und Studierende, aber auch für den Wissenschaftsstandort Deutschland und unsere Gesellschaft insgesamt hat. Sie resümieren die Erfahrungsberichte unter #IchBinHanna und präsentieren ihre Forderungen für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen in Forschung und Lehre.

        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. ;
