Marsha Meskimmon furnishes a fresh perspective on the art of women in the Weimar Republic and in the process reclaims the lost history of a number of artists who have not received adequate attention--not only because they were women but also because they continued to align themselves with the modes of realistic representation the Expressionists regarded as reactionary. Reconsidering the traditional definitions of German modernism and its central issues of race politics, eugenics, and the city, Meskimmon explores the structures that marginalized the work of little known artists such as Lotte Laserstein, Jeanne Mammen, Gerta Overbeck and Grete Jurgens. She shows how these women's personal and professional experiences in the 1920s and 1930s relate to the visual imagery produced at that time. She also examines representations of different female roles--prostitute, mother, housewife, the "New Woman" and "garconne"--that attracted the attention of these artists. Situating her exploration on a strong theoretical base, she ranges deftly over mass visual culture--from film to poster art and advertising--to create a vivid portrait of women living and creating in Weimar Germany.
"Mama Don't Look Sick" is a children's book written and designed specially to tackle the uncomfortable conversation of dealing with depression. Often, children get overlooked when mental health issues are being discussed. In most cases, the adults don't want to burden the children with the load of such discussion, or the adults think that it's too much for children to understand. So, I wrote the book "Mama Don't Look Sick" to serve as a gateway to start an open dialogue with your children about mental illness. Children understand more than adults give them credit for. Especially when the proper language is introduced to suit the correct emotion. Use this book as a gateway to have a much-needed conversation about mental illness with your children; you just might save a life.

The previously untold story of the Jews in twentieth-century Russia that reveals the complex, strange, and heart-wrenching truth behind the familiar narrative that begins with pogroms and ends with emigration. In 1929, the Soviet Union declared the area of Birobidzhan a homeland for Jews. It was championed by a group of intellectuals who envisioned a place of post-oppression Jewish culture, and by the early 1930s, tens of thousands of Jews had moved there from the shtetls. The state-building ended quickly, in the late 1930s, with arrests and purges of the Communist Party and cultural elite, but after the Second World War, the newly named "Jewish Autonomous Region" received an influx of Jews dispossessed from what had once been the Pale, most of whom had lost families in the Holocaust. In the late 1940s, another wave of arrests swept through Birobidzhan, traumatizing the Jews into silence, and effectively making them invisible. Now Masha Gessen gives us a haunting account of the dream of Birobidzhan and how it became the cracked and crooked mirror in which we can see the true story of the Jews in twentieth-century Russia.

Many folks in the south are called by two names, like Bobby Jo, Sally Jane, or John Mark, that's just the way things are. How important are names? We label everything in our lives with names. In school, we learn that the names of people, places, and things are known as proper nouns. Proper nouns pretty much describe all that surrounds us as we walk through life.This story is about Cora Jean Trinity and Cara Louise Tune--the people they meet, the places they visit, and the things they encounter while growing up in the south and southwest. Cora Jean, C.J. to her family and friends, spends most of her time at her Aunt Lottie's Big Southern Hair & Highlights Salon. One day she finds a mystifying diary hidden behind a loose brick in their cellar and then discovers she has a twin sister. Life as she knows it changes forever.Cara lives on the Las Bonitas Ranch and spends most of her time with Sam, a snow-white burro, who is her best friend and constant companion. She receives a letter from a sister she has never met. At fourteen, the twins finally meet. They not only discover how much they mean to each other, they discover what it takes to forgive.
Above All, Don't Look Back follows the path of a young woman - Amina - as she makes her way through a city, a life, and a sense of self that have been ravaged by an earthquake. In this powerful novel, inspired by a devastating earthquake in northern Algeria in 2003, the acclaimed Algerian writer Maissa Bey skillfully interweaves descriptions of the earthquake with descriptions of Amina's family, culture, and country and her place within them. She leaves the reader to wonder whether Amina is fleeing the earthquake or something much more complex. Through prose that marries form and content, Bey shows the full breadth of her talent. She goes beyond straightforward journalistic narrative to represent the inner experience of a victim of a natural disaster. The novel's nonlinear structure and deliberate incoherence plunge the reader into a state of disorientation that will especially resonate for survivors of other natural disasters worldwide. In linking a particular place, context, and event to themes of identity, family, and the relation of the individual to the group and of religion to society, ""Above All, Don't Look Back"" explores psychological and social issues of universal relevance.
