Millaisia jälkiä sodat ovat jättäneet suomalaisten naisten sielunmaisemaan?Mitä jälkiä suomalaisten pitkin vuosisatoja käymät sodat ovat jättäneet sielunmaisemaamme? Mitä ne ovat merkinneet naisille naimattomina, naimisissa, tyttärinä, äiteinä, leskinä? Miten seksuaalisen väkivallan vaara ja sotien särkemä äitiys vaikuttaa tyttäriin vielä tänäkin päivänä?Sosiologi Sari Näre matkaa esiäitiensä kyydissä Ruotsin vallan aikana ja Neuvostoliiton kanssa käytyihin sotiin. Hän kertoo eri sukuhaaroista poimimiensa esiäitiensä tarinoita 1500-luvun pitkävihan ja nuijasodan ajalta isovihan kautta sisällissotaan sekä talvi- ja jatkosotaan. Vaasa-kuninkaiden sotien aikaiset jäljet johtavat Juustenien, Teitien ja Espingien naisiin ja myöhempien monarkkien sodissa pihtiputaalaisiin Jämsénien, Argillanderien ja Arnbergien naisiin. Viime vuosisadan sotia Näre kuvaa isoäitiensä ja äitinsä sisarussarjan kohtaloiden kautta.Suomalaisten osana on ollut selviytymistaistelu Ruotsin ja Venäjän välillä. Kruunu käytti suomalaissotilaita rintamateuraana mutta jätti suomalaiset maassaan pitkälti oman onnensa nojaan venäläisten hyökkäysten kohteena. Naiset ja lapset joutuivat kantamaan miesten kaatumisesta ja kipuilusta johtuvaa arjen kuormaa.Näre kuvaa myös omaa matkaansa sotaorposukuun syntyneenä sotien jälkien siivoojana ja hahmottaa sotien jatkumoa tähän päivään.Sosiologi Sari Näre on kirjoittanut Suomen sotaajasta muun muassa lasten ja nuorten näkökulmasta, sisällissodasta Helsingissä sekä vaietuista aiheista, kuten toisin ajattelijoiden kohtelusta ja rintamamiesten seksitarinoista. Sari Näreen ja Jenni Kirveen teos Ruma sota – talvi- ja jatkosodan vaiettu historia oli TietoFinlandia ehdokas.

Arki täyttyy odottelusta, epävarmuudesta ja pettymyksistä. Päivät kuluvat hakemuksia laatiessa. Työttömän aika ei ole vapaa-aikaa eikä työaikaa - se on sinnittelyä, joka syö voimat.Vakituista työpaikkaa on yhä vaikeampi saada, ja kovassa kilpailussa moni korkeasti koulutettukin jää ilman työtä. Samalla työttömyyttä yritetään torjua pakottamalla työttömät hakemaan sellaisiakin töitä, jotka eivät työnhakijalle sovellu, ja erityisesti luovan työn tekijöiden eteen kasataan esteitä.Passiivinen ei saisi olla, mutta vääränlainen oma-aloitteisuus voi viedä oikeuden tukiin ja karenssi katkaista toimeentulon. Rankaisevien työttömyystoimien rattaissa osa työttömistä masentuu ja menettää aloitekykynsä. Pakkoaktivointi passivoi.Työttömyys sattuu kyseenalaistaa käsitykset työttömistä laiskoina työn välttelijöinä. Se kuvaa, millaisia ristiriitaisia vaatimuksia työttömyysturvajärjestelmä työttömille asettaa ja miten ne vaikuttavat itsetuntoon, arkeen ja tulevaisuudennäkymiin.Teoksessa ääneen pääsevät työttömät itse. Miltä tuntuu menettää työnsä tai hakea töitä tuloksetta vuodesta toiseen?

In this love letter to the Philippines (and to grandmothers), a young girl comes up with a brilliantly delicious way to attract customers after a heat wave leaves her lola's store empty. Nora loves spending summers with Lola at her sari-sari store, a treasure trove filled with everything you could need, from hair accessories to toys, creamy yema to sour tamarind candy. And this year, Nora is big enough to help her grandmother. But when a heat wave strikes and no one comes to the store, Nora worries that she won't get to spend the rest of the summer with her lola--until she gets a sweet idea. After all, the mangoes on the tree outside are finally ripe, and with a bit of measuring, mixing, and a good deal of tasting, Nora and Lola have a refreshing way to bring people together--and to the sari-sari store. With soft, heartfelt illustrations, Lynnor Bontigao's endearing picture book--featuring a recipe for making mango ice candy like Nora's--is an ode to ingenuity and to intergenerational relationships that's as sweet and gentle as a kiss on the cheek.

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER This delightful debut rom-com follows the adventures of a woman trying to connect with her South Asian roots and introduces readers to a memorable cast of characters in a veritable feast of food, family traditions, and fun.Manny Dogra is the beautiful young CEO of Breakup, a highly successful company that helps people manage their relationship breakups. As preoccupied as she is with her business, she's also planning her wedding to handsome architect Adam Jamieson while dealing with the loss of her beloved parents. For reasons Manny has never understood, her mother and father, who were both born in India, always wanted her to become an "All-American" girl. So that's what she did. She knows next to nothing about her South Asian heritage, and that's never been a problem--until her parents are no longer around, and an image of Manny that's been Photoshopped to make her skin look more white appears on a major magazine cover. Suddenly, the woman who built an empire encouraging people to be true to themselves is having her own identity crisis. But when an irritating client named Sammy Patel approaches Manny with an odd breakup request, the perfect solution presents itself: If they both agree to certain terms, he'll give her a crash course in being "Indian" at his brother's wedding. What follows is days of dancing and dal, masala and mehndi as Manny meets the lovable, if endlessly interfering, aunties and uncles of the Patel family, and, along the way, discovers much more than she could ever have anticipated.

In Uttar Pradesh known as the "badlands" of India a woman s life is not entirely her own. This is one explanation for how Sheelu, a seventeen-year-old girl, ended up in jail after fleeing her service in the home of a powerful local legislator. In a region plagued by corruption, an incident like this might have gone unnoticed except that it captured the attention of Sampat Pal, leader of India s infamous Gulabi (Pink) Gang. Poor and illiterate, married off around the age of twelve, pregnant with her first child at fifteen, and prohibited from attending school, Sampat Pal has risen to become the courageous commander and chief of a women s brigade numbering in the tens of thousands. Uniformed in pink saris and carrying pink batons, they aim to intervene wherever other women are victims of abuse or injustice. Joined in her struggle by Babuji, a sensitive man whose intellectualism complements her innate sense of justice, and by a host of passionate field commanders, Sampat Pal has confronted policemen and gangsters, officiated love marriages, and empowered women to become financially independent. In a country where women s rights struggle to keep up with rapid modernization, the story of Sampat Pal and her Pink Gang illuminates the thrilling possibilities of female grassroots activism."

Ramchand, a tired shop assistant in Sevak Sari House in Amritsar, spends his days patiently showing yards of fabric to the women of "status families" and to the giggling girls who dream of dressing up in silk but can only afford cotton. When Ramchand is sent to show his wares to a wealthy family preparing for their daughter's wedding, he is jolted out of the rhythm of his narrow daily life. His glimpse into a different world gives him an urgent sense of possibility. And so he attempts to recapture the hope that his childhood had promised, arming himself with two battered English grammar books, a fresh pair of socks, and a bar of Lifebuoy soap. But soon these efforts turn his life upside down, bringing him face to face with the cruelties on which his very existence depends. Reading group guide included.
