In this original and trenchant work, Christina Sharpe interrogates literary, visual, cinematic, and quotidian representations of Black life that comprise what she calls the "orthography of the wake". Activating multiple registers of "wake" - the path behind a ship, keeping watch with the dead, coming to consciousness - Sharpe illustrates how Black lives are swept up and animated by the afterlives of slavery, and she delineates what survives despite such insistent violence and negation.

"You will be a son, my daughter." With these stunning words Ukmina learned that she was to spend her childhood as a boy. In Afghanistan there is a widespread practice of girls dressing as boys to play the role of a son. These children are called bacha posh: literally "girls dressed as boys." This practice offers families the freedom to allow their child to shop and work - and in some cases, it saves them from the disgrace of not having a male heir. But in adolescence, religion restores the natural law.

An inspiring story of a modern American icon, here is the first comprehensive account of the life and times of Michelle Obama. With disciplined reporting and a storyteller’s eye for revealing detail, Peter Slevin follows Michelle to the White House from her working-class childhood on Chicago’s largely segregated South Side. He illuminates her tribulations at Princeton University and Harvard Law School during the racially charged 1980s and the dilemmas she faced in Chicago.

To many in the age of Obama, America had succeeded in "going beyond race", putting the divisions of the past behind us. And then 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot by a wannabe cop in Florida; and then 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; and then Baltimore blew up; and then gunfire shattered a prayer meeting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Suddenly the entire country awakened to a stark fact: Young Black men are an endangered species.

“現代最後のカオス”に挑んだ圧巻のノンフィクション大作！権力に抗うアウトローや迫害されたマイノリティが逃げ込む謎の巨大湿地帯〈アフワール〉

Sono molte le strade che compongono la vita di Gaia van der Esch: ci sono le strade di campagna di Anguillara Sabazia, dove ha vissuto la sua infanzia con il fratello, il padre olandese e la madre lombarda; quelle lastricate di sampietrini del liceo e dell’università a Roma; le autostrade verso casa dei nonni nell’hinterland milanese. E poi ci sono le strade che l’hanno portata per dodici anni lontano dall’Italia, tra studio e missioni internazionali, in Germania, Francia, Belgio, Tanzania, Giordania, Iraq, Svizzera e Stati Uniti.

Gaia ha già diverse vite alle spalle. Nata a Bogotà e adottata a pochi mesi da una famiglia italiana, è cresciuta a Genova, animata dal costante desiderio di muoversi, viaggiare, esplorare. Per conoscere nuovi luoghi e persone, o forse per trovare un posto da chiamare "casa" nel senso più pieno del termine, un'identità in cui riconoscersi fino in fondo. Oppure, più semplicemente, per andare alla ricerca di quella felicità che tutti noi rincorriamo.
