Book excerpt: For too long the main narratives of motherhood have been oppressive and exclusionary, frequently ignoring issues of female identity--especially regarding those not conforming to traditional female stereotypes. Horrible Mothers offers a variety of perspectives for analyzing representations of the mother in francophone literature and film at the turn of the twenty-first century in North America, including Québec, Ontario, New England, and California. Contributors reexamine the "horrible mother" paradigm within a broad range of sociocultural contexts from different locations to broaden the understanding of mothering beyond traditional ideology. The selections draw from long-established scholarship in women's studies as well as from new developments in queer studies to make sense of and articulate strategies of representation; to show how contemporary family models are constantly evolving, reshaping, and moving away from heteronormative expectations; and to reposition mothers as subjects occupying the center of their own narrative, rather than as objects. The contributors engage narratives of mothering from myriad perspectives, referencing the works of writers or filmmakers such as Marguerite Andersen, Nelly Arcan, Grégoire Chabot, Xavier Dolan, Nancy Huston, and Lucie Joubert.

Book excerpt: In a series of comparative essays on a range of texts embracing both high and popular culture from the early modern era to the contemporary period, The Ideology of Genre counters both formalists and advocates of the &"death of genre,&" arguing instead for the inevitability of genre as discursive mediation. At the same time, Beebee demonstrates that genres are inherently unstable because they are produced intertextually, by a system of differences without positive terms. In short, genre is the way texts get used. To deny that genres exist is to deny, in a sense, the possibility of reading; if genres exist, on the other hand, then they exist not as essences but as differences, and thus those places within and between texts where genres &"collide&" reveal the connections between generic status, interpretive strategy, ideology, and the use-value of language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding Edith: Surviving the Holocaust in Plain Sight is the coming-of-age story of a young Jewish girl chased in Europe during World War II. Like a great adventure story, the book describes the childhood and adolescence of a Viennese girl growing up against the backdrop of the Great Depression, the rise of Nazism, World War II, and the religious persecution of Jews throughout Europe. Edith was hunted in Western Europe and Vichy France, where she was hidden in plain sight, constantly afraid of discovery and denunciation. Forced to keep every thought to herself, Edith developed an intense inner life. After spending years running and eventually hiding alone, she was smuggled into Switzerland. Deprived of schooling, Edith worked at various jobs until the end of the war when she was able to rejoin her mother, who had managed to survive in France. After the war, the truth about the death camps and the mass murder on an industrial scale became fully known. Edith faced the trauma of Germany’s depravity, the murder of her father and older brother in Auschwitz, her mother’s irrational behavior, and the extreme poverty of the postwar years. She had to make a living but also desperately wanted to catch up on her education. What followed were seven years of struggle, intense study, and hard work until finally, against considerable odds, Edith earned the Baccalauréat in 1949 and the Licence ès Lettres from the University of Toulouse in 1952 before coming to the United States. In America, Edith started at the bottom like all immigrants and eventually became a professor and later a financial advisor and broker. Since her retirement, Edith dedicates her time to publicly speaking about her experiences and the lessons from her life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violée à 5, puis 8, puis 26 ans, Françoise s’accroche de toutes ses forces au jonglage pour survivre à ses démons. Enfermée dans un mal-être insupportable, elle jongle avec un, puis deux, puis sept bâtons, et devient championne du monde de Jonglage à Las Vegas à l’âge à 21 ans. Devenue femme, elle accorde aujourd’hui son pardon pour pouvoir vivre en paix avec elle-même, estimant avoir atteint son objectif le plus important, trouver l’Amour d’un homme. Dans ce récit autobiographique, persévérance, dépassement de soi, libération de la parole et reconstruction sont autant d’outils développés pour formuler un message d’espoir, pour s’affranchir du passé et pour, enfin, vivre heureux et en paix – en l’espèce avec son compagnon, avec qui elle forme, sur scène et dans la vie, un duo de choc. Championne du monde de jonglage et inscrite au Livre Guinness des records, Françoise est une jongleuse jusqu’au bout de l’âme depuis près de 40 ans. Elle a été récompensée dans de nombreux Festivals, comme celui du Festival International du Cirque de Monte-Carlo en 2020, à Monaco ou au Festival mondial du cirque de demain à Paris .

Book excerpt: Soul Survivor explores the depths of human emotions, both real and imagined. That any I of us reach adulthood in one piece, emotionally or physically is a miracle of no small proportion. That any of us reach adulthood to contribute back to society and become highly respected in the community is truly a gift of time and place. Soul Survivor is a true story of fortitude, and iron will and looking to the future in the hope that tomorrow will be better than today. Soul Survivor is nothing less than a story of triumph. "Little Mary" Reese spent her childhood living, working and playing in a funeral home. Her mother, Mrs. Mary ("Big Mary") Reese, was well known and respected in the African-American community in Los Angeles through the operation of a prestigious black funeral home. Little Mary's story tells what really happens behind the embalming room doors- the light and dark side of life. Soul Survivor is both humorous and mischievous, and talks of sex, murder, voodoo, preachers and deviate gravediggers. Famous entertainers that passed through Little Mary's life include Redd Foxx, Lou Rawls, Sam Cooke, Billy Preston and Johnny Cochran. Little Mary was born in 1944 in the South, reared in the Southwest and was often disparagingly referred to as "high-yellow." During racial tensions of the '50s and '60s, Little Mary found her hue to be a major issue but not her only problem. Mary's mother caused her to endure life threatening situations due to her drinking and wild ways. Little Mary’s childhood experiences, the mental and physical abuse faced each day, led her to believe that her only true friends were the dead people in the funeral home. Indeed, Little Mary received a BS degree (Be Smart) at an early age. It was the only way she I knew to survive. Little Mary's story is and unlikely but revealing peek into the unexpected and in the end, truly a story of a Soul Survivor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1997, the war in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has taken more than 6 million lives and shapes the daily existence of the nation's residents. While the DRC is often portrayed in international media as an unproductive failed state, the Congolese have turned increasingly to art-making to express their experience to external eyes. Author Chérie Rivers Ndaliko argues that cultural activism and the enthusiasm to produce art exists in Congo as a remedy for the social ills of war and as a way to communicate a positive vision of the country. Ndaliko introduces a memorable cast of artists, activists, and ordinary people from the North-Kivu province, whose artistic and cultural interventions are routinely excluded from global debates that prioritize economics, politics, and development as the basis of policy decision about Congo. Rivers also shows how art has been mobilized by external humanitarian and charitable organizations, becoming the vehicle through which to inflict new kinds of imperial domination. Written by a scholar and activist in the center of the current public policy debate, Necessary Noise examines the uneasy balance of accomplishing change through art against the unsteady background of war. At the heart of this book is the Yole!Africa cultural center, which is the oldest independent cultural center in the east of Congo. Established in the aftermath of volcano Nyiragongo's 2002 eruption and sustained through a series of armed conflicts, the cultural activities organized by Yole!Africa have shaped a generation of Congolese youth into socially and politically engaged citizens. By juxtaposing intimate ethnographic, aesthetic, and theoretical analyses of this thriving local initiative with case studies that expose the often destructive underbelly of charitable action, Necessary Noise introduces into heated international debates on aid and sustainable development a compelling case for the necessity of arts and culture in negotiating sustained peace. Through vivid descriptions of a community of young people transforming their lives through art, Ndaliko humanizes a dire humanitarian disaster. In so doing, she invites readers to reflect on the urgent choices we must navigate as globally responsible citizens. The only study of music or film culture in the east of Congo, Necessary Noise raises an impassioned and vibrantly interdisciplinary voice that speaks to the theory and practice of socially engaged scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le but premier de ce livre est bien d'ouvrir les yeux de milliers de personnes. C'est ce que Jésus a passé les trois années de son ministère à faire. Vu qu'il a demandé à ses disciples d'aller annoncer à toutes les nations tout ce qu'il a prescrit, et bien me voilà , c'est ce que je fais. Voir Matthieu 28, 19 - 20. Cela n'a pas été facile pour lui et ce ne sera pas facile pour moi non plus. Ce n'est pas qu'une mince affaire vu le lavage de cerveau que des millions ont reçu. Il ont tué Jésus parce qu'il colportait la vérité et ils ont tué Louis Riel pour la même raison. Ils ont même essayé d'éliminer Jésus avant même qu'il commence à marcher. Tout ça prouve que la vérité n'est pas bienvenue dans ce royaume qu'est le monde. Dieu m'a demandé dans un rêve de faire connaître au monde tout ce que je sais sur la vérité qu'on nous a cachée et aussi sur les mensonges que certains nous ont fait avalé. Le rêve. Je pleurais et je disais à Dieu que cela ne servait à rien d'en parler à qui que ce soit, puisque personne, mais personne n'écoutait. Il m'a dit alors: Tu n'as pas à t'inquiéter pour ça, Moi Je te demande d'en parler peu importe ce qu'ils en pensent ou ce qu'ils en disent, de cette façon, tous ceux à qui tu en as parlé sauront que Je leur ai envoyé quelqu'un. Alors ils ne pourront pas me le reprocher. Fin de rêve.

This revised edition includes new material that focuses on Chirac's second mandate (Iraq war, religion, suburbs and the inability/impossibility of carrying on with reform), an assessment of the controversial Sarkozy presidency, and a final chapter covering the last ten years, culminating in the results of the French presidential elections in 2012. Features include: clear timelines of main events and suggested topics for discussion glossary inserts throughout of key terms and concepts the use of primary documents to re-create and understand the past free access to a website (http://www.port.ac.uk/special/france1815to2003/) containing a wealth of complementary material Drawing on the best scholarship, particular emphasis has been given to the role of political memory, the contribution of women and the impact of colonialism and post-colonialism. The relationship between France and her European partners is analysed in greater depth and there are new sections explicitly situating France and the French within a wider transnational/global perspective.

Book excerpt: Au-delà des vagues turbulentes de la vie, la femme est patiente, courageuse et spirituelle. Comme une nouvelle lune, les saisons peuvent altérer son image, mais malgré toutes ces contraintes, elle demeure éternellement Femme. Ce recueil de poèmes invite l’être le plus symbolique de la création à se redécouvrir et prendre possession de son héritage sacré. Sans relâche, tambour battant, elle doit continuer le combat quotidien contre toutes les forces d’injustice. À l’homme qui veut réellement changer, nous l’invitons – si ce n’est pas déjà fait – à pendre sa place auprès d’elle et joindre cette nouvelle croisade qui n’est autre qu’un devoir civique et une obligation morale ! Comme le chante si bien Jean Ferrat, “La femme est l’avenir de l’homme.”
