Small Island

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Levy, Andrea, PUBLISHER: Review/Headline, Winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction A Picador Original Trade Paperback Hortense Joseph arrives in London from Jamaica in with her life in her suitcase, her heart broken, her resolve intact. Her husband, Gilbert Joseph, returns from the war expecting to be received as a hero, but finds his status as a black man in Britain to be second class. His white landlady, Queenie, raised as a farmer's daughter, befriends Gilbert, and later Hortense, with innocence and courage, until the unexpected arrival of her husband, Bernard, who returns from combat with issues of his own to resolve. Told in these four voices, "Small Island "is a courageous novel of tender emotion and sparkling wit, of crossings taken and passages lost, of shattering compassion and of reckless optimism in the face of insurmountable barriers---in short, an encapsulation of that most American of experiences: the immigrant's life.

Global Voices: Dialogues in International Relations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Derian, James Der / Rosenau, James N. / Smith, Steve, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, Who "are" these characters--Westfem and SAR, Tsitsi and SUKA, Mother Courage, SICC, and GORP--and what do they have to say about the state of contemporary international affairs? For a painless yet provocative introduction to some of the most ponderous issues in world politics today, consider this book of dialogues written by leading lights in international relations research, covering everything from the New World Order to the role of postmodernism in constructing an answer to the deconstruction of the Soviet Union."Global Voices" develops as five different "dialoguers" spin out exchanges between and among such protagonists as the archetypal Senior American Researcher, his British and feminist counterparts, a thoughtful young Western feminist, her Third World alter ego, a concerned (but skeptical) citizen, and a set of postmodern personae as elusive as quicksilver. Youth and age, male and female, realist and idealist, science and art, Western and Third World--all find their voices represented here.Between the scenes, the characters' defenses come down along with the Berlin Wall, and the dialogues unravel in tandem with American hegemony, the Soviet republics, and gender-bound visions of "reality." This entertaining survey of issues, theory, and controversy in international relations is appropriate for readers both inside and outside the discipline, and is perfect for students who want to "listen in" on conversations that are reshaping the contours of international political thought as well as action.

The Homelessness of Self

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Terris, Susan, PUBLISHER: Arctos Press, Poetry. "'Sometimes safety is unbearable,' declares one of these sharp, and sharpened poems--it's a theme that informs the whole collection, as its many voices, all equally sure, equally exacting and precise, take stock of the real situation of the women Terris sees around her. In her intimate social examination, Terris also does something entirely new with the confessional poem, opening it to previously unexplored territory with her vivid, idiosyncratic language and hauntingly honest imagery. The whole is eye-opening and refreshingly frank"--Cole Swensen.

Chicken Dreaming Corn

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoffman, Roy, PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, On the immigrant blocks of Mobile, Alabama, in , a Romanian Jewish shopkeeper, Morris Kleinman, is sweeping his walk in preparation for the Confederate veterans parade about to pass by. "Daddy?" his son asks, "are we Rebels?" "Today?" muses Morris. "Yes, we are Rebels." Thus opens a novel set, like many, in a languid Southern town. But, in a rarity for Southern novels, here is one centered on a character who mixes Yiddish with his Southern and has for his neighbors small merchants from Poland, Lebanon, and Greece. Morris resides with his family over his Dauphin Street store, enjoys cigars with his Cuban friend Pablo Pastor, and makes "a living not a killing." His tale begins with glimpses of the old Confederacy, continues through a tumultuous Armistice Day, and leads up to the hard-won victories of WWII. Along the way Morris sells shoes and sofas, and endures Klan violence, religious zealotry, and financial triumphs and heartbreaks. With his devoted Miriam, who nurses memories of Brooklyn and Romania, he raise four adventurous children whose own journeys take them to New Orleans and Atlanta and involve romance, ambition, and tragic loss. At turns lyrical, comic, and melancholy, this tale takes inspiration from its title, a Romanian expression with an Alabama twist--symbolic of the strivings of ordinary folks for sustenance, for the realization of their hopes and dreams. Set largely on a few humble blocks yet engaging many parts of the world, this Southern Jewish novel is, ultimately, richly American.

Epigenesis of Mind

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gelman, Rochel / Carey, Susan, PUBLISHER: Psychology Press, Reflecting the focus of a Jean Piaget Symposium entitled "Biology and Knowledge: Structural Constraints on Development," this volume presents many of the emergent themes discussed. Among them: * Structural constraints on cognitive development and learning come in many shapes and forms and involve appeal to more than one level of analysis. * To postulate innate knowledge is not to deny that humans can acquire new concepts. * It is unlikely that there is only one learning mechanism, even if one prefers to work with general as opposed to domain-specific mechanisms. * The problems of induction with respect to concept acquisition are even harder than originally thought.
