Tales from a Revolution by James D. Rice Pdf

In this vivid account of Bacon's Rebellion James Rice tells the tale of Bacon's Rebellion (1676-1677) and its aftermath. As the tense drama unfolds, it becomes apparent that the struggle between the followers of the veteran governor of Virginia, William Berkeley, and the hotheaded young newcomer Nathaniel Bacon is nothing less than a battle over the soul of America; the story of the rebellion is also the story of race, slavery, western expansion, and empire in American history.

A Bite-Sized History of France by Stéphane Henaut,Jeni Mitchell Pdf

A "delicious" (Dorie Greenspan), "genial" (Kirkus Reviews), "very cool book about the intersections of food and history" (Michael Pollan)—as featured in the New York Times "The complex political, historical, religious and social factors that shaped some of [France's] . . . most iconic dishes and culinary products are explored in a way that will make you rethink every sprinkling of fleur de sel." —The New York Times Book Review Acclaimed upon its hardcover publication as a "culinary treat for Francophiles" (Publishers Weekly), A Bite-Sized History of France is a thoroughly original book that explores the facts and legends of the most popular French foods and wines. Traversing the cuisines of France's most famous cities as well as its underexplored regions, the book is enriched by the "authors' friendly accessibility that makes these stories so memorable" (The New York Times Book Review). This innovative social history also explores the impact of war and imperialism, the age-old tension between tradition and innovation, and the enduring use of food to prop up social and political identities. The origins of the most legendary French foods and wines—from Roquefort and cognac to croissants and Calvados, from absinthe and oysters to Camembert and champagne—also reveal the social and political trends that propelled France's rise upon the world stage. As told by a Franco-American couple (Stéphane is a cheesemonger, Jeni is an academic) this is an "impressive book that intertwines stories of gastronomy, culture, war, and revolution. . . . It's a roller coaster ride, and when you're done you'll wish you could come back for more" (The Christian Science Monitor).

Tahrir Tales by Mohammed Albakry,Rebekah Maggor Pdf

The ten Egyptian plays in this collection offer grassroots perspectives on the jubilation, terror, hope and heartbreak of mass uprising. Collectively, they sketch events unfolding in Egypt from the twilight of Hosni Mubarak's regime to Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's ascendance to the presidency. A comprehensive introduction situates the plays within their social, political, and economic context, an in-depth translator's note delves into the challenges of translating Arabic for English-speaking audiences. Yasmeen Emam Shghaf's The Mirror and Hany Abdel Naser and Mohamed Mu'iz's They Say Dancing is a Sin explore how stigma and poverty silence women's voices. Sondos Shabayek and the BuSSy Company's documentary storytelling piece Tahrir Monologues and Said Solaiman's drama with movement The Window consider how collective mobilization empowers individuals to overcome personal fears. Ibrahim El-Husseini's symbolic ensemble drama Comedy of Sorrows and Ahmed Hassan Albana's melodrama In Search of Said Abu-Naga warn of the powerful forces waiting to hijack the revolution. Magdy El Hamzawy's satirical tragedy Report on Revolutionary Circumstances and Muhammed Marros's naturalistic three-hander The Visit reflect on how and why the revolutionary forces failed to dislodge the entrenched power structures. Ashraf Abdu's Coptic Church drama Sorrowful City foretells of a post-revolutionary deterioration into sectarian violence, and a stage adaptation of Khaled Al Khamissi's novel Taxi asks what has changed, if anything, for poor and working Egyptians in the years since Mubarak's overthrow.

A Tale of Two Omars by Omar Sharif Pdf

"A powerful and essential memoir of self-discovery . . . Brimming with beautiful remembrances of his grandfather and terrifying stories of abuse and homophobia, this is an essential book that shines a much-needed light on the intersection of Arab and queer identity." —Abdi Nazemian, Lambda Literary Award–winning author of Like a Love Story, a Stonewall Honor Book The grandson of Hollywood royalty on his father’s side and Holocaust survivors on his mother’s, Omar Sharif Jr. learned early on how to move between worlds, from the Montreal suburbs to the glamorous orbit of his grandparents’ Cairo. His famous name always protected him wherever he went. When, in the wake of the Arab Spring, he made the difficult decision to come out in the pages of The Advocate, he knew his life would forever change. What he didn’t expect was the backlash that followed. From bullying, to illness, attempted suicide, becoming a victim of sex trafficking, death threats by the thousands, revolution and never being able to return to a country he once called home, Omar Sharif Jr. has overcome more challenges than one might imagine. Drawing on the lessons he learned from both sides of his family, A Tale of Two Omars charts the course of an iconoclastic life, revealing in the process the struggles and successes that attend a public journey of self-acceptance and a life dedicated in service to others.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood Pdf

An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

The Tale of the Axe by David Miles Pdf

How the New Stone Age shaped our world Approximately 12,000 years ago, early humans in western Asia and Europe who had been itinerant foragers, subsisting on what food they could find, slowly began settling in one place. They farmed and domesticated animals, created new tools, built monuments, and began preserving and storing food. What brought about this shift? What difference did it make to the overall population? And what effects did this Neolithic Revolution have on generations to come? The Tale of the Axe explores the New Stone Age—named for the new types of stone tools that appeared at that time, specifically the ground stone axe—taking Britain as its focus. David Miles takes the reader on a journey through Neolithic Britain by way of its ancestors, geographical neighbors, and the species from which humans emerged before turning an eye to the future and those aspects of the Neolithic Revolution that live on today: farming, built communities, modern man, and much more.
