Kwanzaa and Me: A Teacher's Story
by Vivian Gussin PaleyALL these white schools I've been sent to are racist," Sonya says. "I'd have done better in a black school. I was an outsider here." These are hard words for Vivian Paley, whose own kindergarten was one of Sonya's schools, the integrated classroom so lovingly and hopefully depicted by Paley in White Teacher. Confronted with the grown-up Sonya, now on her way to a black college, and with a chorus of voices questioning the fairness and effectiveness of integrated education, Paley sets out to discover the truth about the multicultural classroom from those who participate in it. This is an odyssey undertaken on the wings of conversation and storytelling in which every voice adds new meaning to the idea of belonging, really belonging, to a school culture. Here are black teachers and minority parents, immigrant families, a Native American educator, and the children themselves, whose stories mingle with the author's to create a candid picture of the successes and failures of the integrated classroom. As Paley travels the country listening to these stories, we see what lies behind recent moves toward self-segregation: an ongoing frustration with racism as well as an abiding need for a nurturing community. And yet, among these diverse voices, we hear again and again the shared dream of a classroom where no family heritage is obscured and every child's story enriches the life of the schoolhouse. "It's all about dialogue, isn't it?" asks Lorraine, a black third-grade teacher whose story becomes a central motif. And indeed, it is the dialogue that prevails in this warmly provocative and deeply engaging book, as parents and teachers learn how they must talk to each other, and to their children, if every child is to secure a sense of self in the schoolroom, no matter what the predominant ethnic background. Vivian Paley offers these discoveries to readers as a starting point for their own journeys toward community and kinship in today's schools and tomorrow's culture.
Kween

Trouble is, she didn’t exactly think her slam poetry video through. All she knew was that her rhymes were urgent. On fire. An expression of where she was, and that place…was a hot mess. Following her Ba’s deportation back to Cambodia, everything’s changed. Her Ma is away trying to help Ba adjust to his new life, and her older sister has taken charge with a new authoritarian tone. Meanwhile, Soma’s trending video pushes her to ask if it’s time to level up. With her school’s spoken word contest looming, Soma must decide: Is she brave enough to put herself out there? To publicly reveal her fears of Ba not returning? To admit that things may never be the same? With every line she spits, Soma searches for a way to make sense of the world around her. The answers are at the mic. From debut author Vichet Chum comes a celebration of Khmer identity, queerness, and embracing the complicated histories that shape who we are and want to be.

by Madonna King'In this insightful and practical exploration of female young adulthood, Madonna offers a remarkable way of understanding and sharing the realities of growing up for so many of our daughters.' - Dr Justin CoulsonA must-read guide for parents of teenage girls that explores what our girls need us to know in order to support them through the unprecedented pressures of growing up in today's world.The world is a very different place from two years ago. And the impact on our 16-, 17- and 18-year-old girls is huge. At one of the most critical times in their development - an age when they're ready to spread their wings and look to the future - they have had to deal with enormous disruption and dislocation, and come to terms with living life from their bedrooms. The long stints of remote learning and the anxiety of at-home exams has compounded with the ever-present pressure of the ATAR and worries around friendships and relationships, who they want to be, gender identity, alcohol, vaping, and sex, body image and mental health. Self-harm and eating disorders have risen dramatically. For school-leavers, the uncertainty around university study and the jobs market only adds to the heavy toll.To support our girls, we need to understand the pressures this generation is under by listening to what worries them and what they need - and journalist and social commentator Madonna King has done just that. Having consulted 1000 young women, along with parents, senior educators, and health care professionals in her research for this book, L Platers delivers the answers we need as parents to help our girls on the road to adulthood.'Madonna tells us the truth about what Australian tween and teen girls are feeling and thinking. Best of all, she equips parents with useful tips on what our girls need from us and wish we knew.' - Rebecca Sparrow, author of Ask Me Anything

La Cucina: A Novel of Rapture
by Lily PriorSince childhood, Rosa Fiore -- daughter of a sultry Sicilian matriarch and her hapless husband -- found solace in her family's kitchen. La Cucina, the heart of the family's lush estate, was a place where generations of Fiore women prepared sumptuous feasts and where the drama of extended family life was played out around the age-old table.When Rosa was a teenager, her own cooking became the stuff of legend in this small community that takes pride in the bounty of its landscape and the eccentricity of its inhabitants. Rosa's infatuation with culinary arts was rivaled only by her passion for a young man, Bartolomeo, who, unfortunately, belonged to another. After their love affair ended in tragedy, Rosa retreated first into her kitchen and then into solitude, as a librarian in Palermo. There she stayed for decades, growing corpulent on her succulent dishes, resigned to a loveless life.Then, one day, she meets the mysterious chef, known only is I'Inglese, whose research on the heritage of Sicilian cuisine leads him to Rosa's library, and into her heart. They share one sublime summer of discovery, during which I'lnglese awakens the power of Rosa's sensuality, and together they reach new heights of culinary passion. When I'Inglese suddenly vanishes, Rosa returns home to the farm to grieve for the loss of her second love. In the comfort of familiar surroundings, among her, growing family, she discovers the truth about her loved ones and finds her life transformed once more by the magic of her cherished Cucina.Exuberant and touching, La Cucina is a magical evocation of lifes mysterious seasons and the treasures found in each one.

La Femme de Gilles
by Elisa Albert Faith Evans Madeleine Bourdouxhe"A haunting, slim novel which has the mesmeric inevitability of a classical tragedy." --Independent on SundayLa Femme de Gilles tells the story of a fatal love triangle--written on the eve of World War II.Set among the dusty lanes and rolling valleys of rural 1930s Belgium, La Femme de Gilles is the tale of a young mother, Elisa, whose world is overturned when she discovers that her husband, Gilles, has fallen in love with her younger sister, Victorine. Devastated, Elisa unravels. As controlled as Elena Ferrante's The Days of Abandonment and as propulsive as Jenny Offill's Dept. of Speculation, La Femme de Gilles is a hauntingly contemporary story of desperation and lust and obsession, from an essential early-feminist writer.Just after her novel was first published in 1937, Madeleine Bourdouxhe disassociated herself from her publisher (which had been taken over by the Nazis) and spent most of World War II in Brussels, actively working for the resistance. Though she continued to write, her work was largely overlooked by history . . . until now.

La fruta del borrachero
by Ingrid Rojas ContrerasUn debut fascinante situado en Colombia durante la violencia devastadora de los años 90 sobre una joven protegida y una empleada doméstica adolescente, quienes inician una improbable amistad que amenaza con deshacerlas a ambas.La familia Santiago vive en una comunidad cerrada en Bogotá, a salvo de la inestabilidad política que aterroriza al país. Chula de siete años y su hermana mayor, Cassandra, disfrutan de una vida carente de preocupaciones, gracias a la burbuja protectora de su madre y su hogar. Sin embargo, la amenaza de secuestros, coches bomba y asesinatos se ciernen justo afuera de las fronteras límites de su vecindario, donde el divino dios de la droga, Pablo Escobar, sigue eludiendo a las autoridades y captando la atención de la nación.Cuando su madre contrata a Petrona, una empleada doméstica proveniente de un pobre barrio ocupado por la guerrilla, Chula hace de su misión el entender los misterios que rodean a Petrona. Pero el comportamiento inusual de Petrona revela mucho más que su timidez. Es una mujer joven que se derrumba bajo la carga de mantener a su familia, mientras que la fuerte oleada de su primer amor amenaza con arrastrarla en dirección opuesta. Mientras las familias de ambas chicas luchan por mantener la estabilidad en medio del conflicto que se intensifica, Petrona y Chula caen en una complicada red de secretos que las obligará a elegir entre el sacrificio y la traición.Inspirado en la propia vida de la autora y contado a través de las perspectivas alternas de la voluntariosa Chula y la dolorosamente esperanzada Petrona, La fruta del borrachero contrasta dos historias muy diferentes pero inextricables. En una prosa exuberante, Rojas Contreras arroja luz sobre las decisiones casi imposibles que enfrentan a menudo las mujeres frente a la violencia, y las conexiones inesperadas que pueden surgir a raíz de la desesperación.
La història dels vertebrats
by Mar García PuigUna novel·la sobre salut mental i maternitat en què una diputada pateix depressió postpart. Un viatge per ferides personals i lluites universals mitjançant l'art i la literatura. El que hauria d'haver estat el dia més feliç a la vida de la narradora d'aquesta novel·la es converteix en l'inici d'una història de bogeria. L'ansietat se n'apodera i el pes del món cau sobre les seves espatlles per partida doble: ha de cuidar els seus bessons nounats i donar veu política als que han confiat en ella.Aquesta història indaga en una ferida personal per connectar amb lluites universals, i esdevé un viatge a través de l'art, la literatura, la mitologia i la història de la medicina. Amb mestria, Mar García Puig converteix l'experiència personal en un relat que ens parla de totes les dones que alguna vegada han sentit que el seny les abandonava i de tots els homes que les han silenciat, emparats per segles de ciència, mites i política.«El 20 de desembre de 2015 em vaig convertir en mare i vaig embogir. [...] Al capvespre, mentre jo comptava contraccions a la sala de dilatacions, el país comptava escons. I tots dos comptes confluïren en una nova vida per a mi, perquè un d'aquests escons acabaria sent meu. El mateix dia del naixement dels meus fills, em vaig convertir en diputada al Congrés». Reseñes:«Un llibre extraordinàriament lliure, tan ben concebut com executat. Un testimoni potent».Enric Vila-Matas «Un llibre híbrid i meravellós, monumental i alhora íntim. Les seves paraules ressonen simultàniament en la nostra sensibilitat política i poètica: amb La història dels vertebrats totes les boges entenem les raons de la nostra malenconia i ens posem a cantar».Marta SanzContra faixa:«Sobre la bogeria de les mares, les seves debilitats i les seves fortaleses, sovint dues cares de la mateixa moneda. Un llibre erudit, tendre i dur, i sempre honest».Katixa Aguirre «La llibertat és terapèutica, va escriure algú a la paret d'un manicomi clausurat. Aquella inscripció es projecta sobre el llibre extraordinàriamentlliure, tan ben concebut com executat, de Mar García Puig. Un testimoni potent de la seva experiència de bogeria puerperal. Un tapís delirant i assenyat que es dispara en diverses direccions».Enric Vila-Matas «Un llibre únic, valent i sorprenent que lliga el que és íntim i històric, familiar i mitològic, poesia i política, amor i dolor, bogeria i lucidesa, per il·luminar amb delicadesa una de les cares més fosques de la maternitat».Isaac Rosa «Una història íntima que és alhora una història política d'aquesta estrepitosa explosió d'afectes que significa la maternitat. Mar García Puig ens regala les seves poderoses experiències com a mare primerenca al Congrés dels Diputats, i traça un vincle amb les barrigues plenes de la literatura, el teatre, la filosofia i l'art al llarg dels segles. Llegint La història dels vertebrats, se'm fa impossible no recordar-me de l'escriptura memorística de Deborah Levy o Maggie Nelson».Lluna Miguel «Un llibre híbrid i meravellós, tan monumental com íntim. Les seves paraules ressonen simultàniament en la nostra sensibilitat política i poètica: amb La història dels vertebrats totes les boges entenem les raons de la nostra malenconia i ens posem a cantar».Marta Sanz
