Book excerpt: The xenophobic attacks that started in Alexandra, Johannesburg in May 2008 before quickly spreading around the country caused an outcry across the world and raised many fundamental questions: Of what profound social malaise is xenophobia – and the violence that it inspires – a symptom? Have our economic and political choices created new forms of exclusion that fuel anger and distrust? What consequences does the emergence of xenophobia hold for the idea of an equal, non-racial society as symbolised by a democratic South Africa? On 28 May 2008 the Faculty of Humanities in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg convened an urgent colloquium that focused on searching for short and long-term solutions. Nearly twenty individuals – mostly Wits academics from a variety of disciplines, but also two student leaders, a journalist and a bishop – addressed the unfolding violence in ways that were conversant with the moment, yet rooted in scholarship and ongoing research. Go Home or Die Here emanates directly from the colloquium. It hopes to make sense of the nuances and trajectories of building a democratic society out of a deeply divided and conflictual past, in the conditions of global recession, heightening inequalities and future uncertainty. The authors hoped to pose questions that would lead both to research and to more informed, reflective forms of public action. With extensive photographs by award-winning photographer Alon Skuy, who covered the violence for The Times newspaper, the volume is passionate and engaged, and aims to stimulate reflection, debate and activism among concerned members of a broad public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide with translations in 29 languages. After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie subsequently wrote a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, to share her story. Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind. In this revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide, with translations in 29 languages, Bronnie expresses how significant these regrets are and how we can positively address these issues while we still have the time. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying gives hope for a better world. It is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthology of Asian diasporic writers musing on the notion of “home.” “Bold and devastating . . . the very definition of reclamation.” —The International Examiner Asian diasporic writers imagine “home” in the twenty-first century through an array of fiction, memoir, and poetry. Both urgent and meditative, this anthology moves beyond the model-minority myth and showcases the singular intimacies of individuals figuring out what it means to belong. “The notion of home has always been elusive. But as evidenced in these stories, poems, and testaments, perhaps home is not so much a place, but a feeling one embodies. I read this book and see my people—see us—and feel, in our collective outsiderhood, at home.” —Ocean Vuong, New York Times-bestselling author of On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous “To be from nowhere is the state of Asian diaspora, but there is also a wild humor and imagination that comes from being underestimated, rarely counted, hardly seen. Here, we begin to draw the hopeful outlines of a collective history for those so disparate yet often lumped together.” —Jenny Zhang, author of My Baby First Birthday “Language allows for many homes, and perhaps the writers—and readers of the anthology too—will succeed in returning home, or finding a home, through these words.” —NPR.org “Effectively dismantling all sorts of stereotypes, Buchanan’s anthology gives voice to notions of identity, belonging and displacement that are much more vast, complex and textually rich than mere geography.” —Shelf Awareness “Revolutionary for all the iterations of ‘home’ it shows through fiction, poetry, and memoir, sure to provoke a full range of emotions to swoon and clutch in my chest.” —Literary Hub

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the opening decades of the twentieth century in Japan, practically every major author wrote plays that were published and performed. The plays were seen not simply as the emergence of a new literary form but as a manifestation of modernity itself, transforming the stage into a site for the exploration of new ideas and ways of being. A Beggar’s Art is the first book in English to examine the full range of early twentieth-century Japanese drama. Accompanying his study, M. Cody Poulton provides his translations of representative one-act plays. Poulton looks at the emergence of drama as a modern literary and artistic form and chronicles the creation of modern Japanese drama as a reaction to both traditional (particularly kabuki) dramaturgy and European drama. Translations and productions of the latter became the model for the so-called New Theater (shingeki), where the question of how to be both modern and Japanese at the same time was hotly contested. Following introductory essays on the development of Japanese drama from the 1880s to the early 1930s, are translations of nine seminal one-act plays by nine dramatists, including two women, Okada Yachiyo and Hasegawa Shigure. The subject matter of these plays is that of modern drama everywhere: discord between men and women, between parents and children, and the resulting disintegration of marriages and families. Both the bourgeoisie and the proletariat make their appearances; modern pretensions are lampooned and modern predicaments lamented in equal measure. Realism (as evidenced in the plays of Kikuchi Kan and Tanaka Chikao) prevails as the mode of modernity, but other styles are presented: the symbolism of Izumi Kyoka, Suzuki Senzaburo’s brittle melodrama, Kubota Mantaro’s minimalistic lyricism, Akita Ujaku’s politically incisive expressionism, and even a proto-absurdist work by Japan’s master of prewar drama, Kishida Kunio. With its combination of new translations and informative and theoretically engaging essays, A Beggar’s Art will prove invaluable for students and researchers in world theater and Japanese studies, particularly those with an interest in modern Japanese literature and culture.

The contours of his dream take us through the bewildered state of black people's lives after the Act of Union in 1910. We come across an ambitious white President, Nieman, who has been recalled from retirement to protect the country from falling into black hands; the fierce political conflict between the English and the Afrikaners; the sudden onset of the Spanish Influenza ; and the outbreak of a violent white miners' strike.

Book excerpt: Beneficio Duran is like the wild lava capped mesa where he lived all but the last two years of his eighty-three. They are both remnants of the past. Black Mesa survived eons of erosion by its had basaltic cap--Beneficio survived by living with the pride and rough wisdom of los Castizos, his ancestors. On the mesa, he had been isolated from pressures and forces that were changing New Mexico and the other Hispanics living on and off the land grants. Beneficio discovered his wife, Maria, in the village of Cebolleta at the base of Black Mesa. Maria bore him Philip then died while trying to deliver a girl child four years later. Beneficio's devotion to God and El Christo, coupled with the deep grief of Maria's death, caused him to embrace the penitence oriented beliefs of "The Brotherhood of Blood and Light" (Penitente). Philip lived on the Mesa only until he started school in Cebolleta. There he lived with his father's boyhood friend, Emilio, and Emilio's Indian wife Rebecca. Philip Duran left the land grant for college and there discovered city life. He became a successful Hispanic businessman and married Carla, an Anglo. They have two teenaged children. Philip is a state senator and has ambitions toward being governor. His fear is that his sheepherder father will embarrass him politically with his land-grant ways and ancient Penitente beliefs. Philip has placed Beneficio in an Albuquerque rest home with the self-justification of "taking care of Papa". Castizo begins with Beneficio Duran cutting the branch end of the needled Cholla plant in an arroyo near Albuquerque. He plans to tie the spiny branch to the leather thongs of his self-flagellation whip. Should Beneficio succeed in finding a Penitente brotherhood, he hopes to join them in their Good Friday and Easter rites. Beneficio feels that he needs the pain of self-flagellation and the subsequent healing to be at peace with his troubled spirit. Desperate to find a Penitente brotherhood, he asks the help of a parish priest that appears to have a land-grant background. The priest can not help for the Penitente cult is not recognized by the Catholic Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing Over provides a unique view of patients, families, and their caregivers in the face of incurable illness. Twenty richly-detailed narratives bring vividly to life the experiences of dying and bereavement, weaving together emotions, physical symptoms, spiritual concerns, and the stresses of family life, as well as the professional and personal challenges of providing hospice and palliative care. Drawing on a variety of qualitative research methods, including participant-observation, interviews, and journal keeping, the narratives depict the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of daily life in patients' homes and in the palliative care unit. Crossing Over moves far beyond conventional case reports in medicine, which typically concentrate narrowly on symptoms and treatments, and beyond clichés about "dying with dignity." It provides intimate views of the anger and fear, tenderness and reconciliation, jealousy and love, unexpected courage and unshakable faith, social support and "falling through the cracks," which are all part of facing death in North American society. It provides an extraordinary portrait of the processes of giving and receiving hospice and palliative care in the real world, as opposed to idealized versions in many textbooks. This edition of Crossing Over has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect changes in hospice and palliative care and in North American society since the first edition in 2000. Chief among these are the expansion of hospice and palliative care as a field, the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the wider availability of medical aid in dying, and a heightened awareness of how structural racism, classism, and other forms of discrimination shape individuals' and families' experiences right up to the close of life.

Book excerpt: In this redemption tale, an unlikely friendship offers a glimpse into the resilience of the human spirit. During the Battle of the Bulge in the frozen winter of 1944, Henry Gerald Briggs, a deserting American soldier, stumbles across the German soldier, Dieter Von Strauss, in an abandoned barn near the Ardennes Woods after fleeing their respective sides. Their learned hostility thaws into an unlikely friendship as these men try not only to escape capture and the war, but to survive the fiercest winter Belgium had seen in years. Once inside the barbed wired fences of Buchenwald, Henry obtains a piece of paper containing information that could bring an end to the war in Europe. But in order to get it to his men, he’ll have to escape the oppressive labour camp and face an army that would have him killed for desertion. Will he put the fate of the war before his own survival? Will a final act of redemption redeem an act of treason? In this grim but hopeful fiction, We Will Not Die Here reads like the memoir of Henry Gerald Briggs, a replacement assigned to Easy Company, one of the most revered companies of the Second World War. This gripping tale follows Henry and Dieter, from the snow-laden trees of the Ardennes to the soul-crushing conditions of one of Germany’s most infamous labour camps, Buchenwald. This is a story of cowardice and bravery, of friendship and cruelty, and—ultimately—of the human spirit’s will to survive.

Dan and Marion Cooper arrive in an Asian tropical paradise to find themselves victims of a series of powerful earthquakes and the outset of war between the northern and southern halves of the country. After the Coopers and a young mixed couple are rescued by the sexy and mysterious “Lana,” she disappears along with Dan and young surfer Lucas. Marion and Lucas’s African American wife, Alanda, are forced to return to the States, alone, filled with questions. When a young Army sergeant shows up with tales of Aliens in UFOs causing the quakes, Marion turns away despite being relentlessly questioned and followed by the FBI. Alanda, on the other hand, becomes a believer—whether it’s true or not. But what happened to her new husband and to Dan Cooper? And what is Dan Cooper’s dark secret? Will anyone survive these ultimate tests? If the war goes on long enough, no one is likely to make it out alive.

The Last Tour tests belief systems—in relationships, government, and the unknown. Are alien beings helping one corrupt regime overpower another? Are UFOs real? If no one is right, is anyone wrong? Can love survive separation? These are questions Marion Cooper never thought she’d face in her lifetime. Now, everything bad is real, and everything real is bad.

Or is it? Only one thing is certain: Neither Dan nor Marion Cooper will ever do another tour like this one. Those hopes died the day he disappeared into the jungles of Phnongtuk.
