Malaika’s Winter Carnival

Author: Nadia L. Hohn
Publisher: Groundwood Books Ltd
ISBN: 1554989213
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 19

Book Description
When Malaika moves to Canada, there’s a lot to get used to, especially Carnival in the wintertime! Malaika is happy to be reunited with Mummy, but it means moving to Canada, where everything is different. It’s cold in Québec City, no one understands when she talks and Carnival is nothing like the celebration Malaika knows from home! When Mummy marries Mr. Frédéric, Malaika gets a new sister called Adèle. Her new family is nice, but Malaika misses Grandma. She has to wear a puffy purple coat, learn a new language and get used to calling this new place home. Things come to a head when Mummy and Mr. Frédéric take Malaika and Adèle to a carnival. Malaika is dismayed that there are no colorful costumes and that it’s nothing like Carnival at home in the Caribbean! She is so angry that she kicks over Adèle’s snow castle, but that doesn’t make her feel any better. It takes a video chat with Grandma to help Malaika see the good things about her new home and family. Nadia L. Hohn’s prose, written in a blend of standard English and Caribbean patois, tells a warm story about the importance of family, especially when adjusting to a new home. Readers of the first Malaika book will want to find out what happens when she moves to Canada, and will enjoy seeing Malaika and her family once again depicted through Irene Luxbacher’s colorful collage illustrations.

Collective Memory and the Historical Past

Author: Jeffrey Andrew Barash
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022639915X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 279

Book Description
In Collective Memory and the Historical Past intellectual historian Jeffrey Andrew Barash elaborates a philosophical basis for the concept of collective memory and delimits the specific scope of this concept in relation to the historical past. Barash begins with the concept of memory and the principal significations it has been accorded by different traditions of Western thought. He argues that the predominant philosophical arguments in given historical periods regarding the significance and scope of memory are more than abstract speculations, for they owe their persuasive force to the fundamental convictions they convey concerning the sense of human existence and of human interaction in the socio-political sphere. Barash argues that the paradox of collective memory requires an account of the multiple functions of the imagination which, far from limited to the production of fantasy or fiction, configures the patterns of symbolic interaction through which remembered experience is made communicable among vast groups. Using vivid examples drawn from recent history, literature, and art, this learned yet accessible work interjects clarity and originality into the hitherto vexed and confused theory of collective memory.

Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 124

Book Description
Nonfiction. This is a document about an underground movement we're slowly bridging together through scattered clans of free thinkers, rebels and artists: groups of angry young people fed up living paycheck to paycheck in the wageslave braindeath passive observer (sub)urban trap that is our daily backdrop. An underground movement that has its poetic roots in the old traditions of traveling gypsies and pirates but is alive and well and lurking outside your door and maybe stirring somewhere in your hearts right at this very minute.

Masquerade

Author: Deborah Bell
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476618046
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289

Book Description
In its conventional meaning, masquerade refers to a festive gathering of people wearing masks and elegant costumes. But traditional forms of masquerade have evolved over the past century to include the representation of alternate identities in the media and venues of popular culture, including television, film, the internet, theater, museums, sports arenas, popular magazines and a range of community celebrations, reenactments and conventions. This collection of fresh essays examines the art and function of masquerade from a broad range of perspectives. From African slave masquerade in New World iconography, to the familiar Guy Fawkes masks of the Occupy Wall Street movement, to the branded identities created by celebrities like Madonna, Beyonce and Lady Gaga, the essays show how masquerade permeates modern life.

The Costs of the Gig Economy

Author: Falina Enriquez
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252053621
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 206

Book Description
Institutions in Recife, Brazil, have restructured subsidies in favor of encouraging musicians to become more entrepreneurial. Falina Enriquez explores how contemporary and traditional musicians in the fabled musical city have negotiated these intensified neoliberal cultural policies and economic uncertainties. Drawing on years of fieldwork, Enriquez shows how forcing artists to adopt “neutral” market solutions reinforces, and generates, overlapping racial and class-based inequalities. Lacking the social and financial resources of their middle-class peers, working-class musicians find it difficult to uphold institutional goals of connecting the city’s cultural roots to global markets and consumers. Enriquez also links the artists’ situation to that of cultural and creative workers around the world. As she shows, musical sponsorship in Recife and the contemporary gig economy elsewhere employ processes that, far from being neutral, uphold governmental and corporate ideologies that produce social stratification. Rich and vibrant, The Costs of the Gig Economy offers a rare English-language portrait of the changing musical culture in Recife.

Carnival Strippers

Author: Susan Meiselas
Publisher: Steidl Dap
ISBN: 9783882439540
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 163

Book Description
From 1972 to 1975, Susan Meiselas spent her summers photographing and interviewing women who performed striptease for smalltown carnivals in New England, Pennsylvania and South Carolina. As she followed the girl shows from town to town, she portrayed the dancers on stage and off, photographing their public performances as well as their private lives. She also taped interviews with the dancers, their boyfriends, the show managers and paying customers. Meiselas' frank description of the lives of these women brought a hidden world to public attention. Produced during the early years of the women's movement, "Carnival Strippers" reflects the struggle for identity and self-esteem that characterized a complex era of change. This revised edition contains a new selection of Meiselas' black-and-white photographs together with the original interview excerpts. Additionally, an audio CD featuring a collage of participants' voices and a 1977 interview with the photographer are included. Essays by Sylvia Wolf and Deirdre English reflect on the importance of this body of work within the history of photography and the history of feminism.
