Liliya longed to have the regular troubles of any fifteen year old girl whether from her small town in Russia or world wide. But life didn't always listen to your wants or needs or care for that matter. Instead Liliya worked very hard to please her tyrannical father and brothers. She desperately missed her loving mother and grandmother. Deciding there truly was only one option left to her, she ran away from home. On her journey to find herself she befriended a mama Cat with her kittens, one kitten in particular stole her heart. Could Liliya find a better life for herself and her newly acquired feline friend, a life that she was destined for and make not only her beloved mother proud but more importantly herself? What about her father and the rest of her brutish family? Would they come to accept her for who she really was? Nikolai loved working for his father in their popular tea shop. It was handed down through the generations of his family in Moscow city and he felt blessed to be a part of it. But something was missing in his life, he felt somewhat alone with no real purpose. However he wasn't sure what to do about it. One evening all that changed when a most unusual girl came into his life and quite literally the tea shop shivering with the cold and most definitely alone.
Hollywood's representation of blacks has been consistently misleading, promoting an artificially constructed mythology in place of historical fact. But how, James Snead asks, did black skin on screen develop into a complex code for various types of white supremacist discourse? In these essays, completed shortly before his death in 1989, James Snead offers a thoughtful inquiry into the intricate modes of racial coding in Hollywood cinema from 1915 to 1985. Snead presents three major methods through which the racist ideology within film functions: mythification, in which black images are correlated in a larger sceme of semiotic valuation where the dominant I needs the marginal other in order to function effectively; marking, in which the color black is repeatedly over-determined and redundantly marked, as if to force the viewer to register the image's difference from white; and omission--the repetition of black absence from positions of autonomy and importance. White Screens/Black Images offers an array of film texts, drawn from both classical Hollywood cinema and black independent film culture. Individual chapters analyze Birth of a Nation , King Kong , Shirley Temple in The Littlest Rebel and The Little Colonel , Mae West in I'm No Angel , Marlene Dietrich in Blonde Venus , Bette Davis in Jezebel , the racism of Disney's Song of the South , and Taxi Driver . Making skillful use of developments in both structuralist and post-structuralist film theory, Snead's work speaks not only to the centrality of race in Hollywood films, but to its centrality in the formation of modern American culture.

A significant collection of interviews with the defiant, controversial, and ground-breaking singer, songwriter, and activist throughout her turbulent career . . . Brilliant, loveable, mercurial, troubled: Sin ad O'Connor was one of the most important Irish artists of the past 50 years. Her voice inspired awe, and her songs traversed the full spectrum of the human spirit, addressing both emotional despair and incandescent joy with glorious, fearless ardor. This collection covers the entire span of O'Connor's short life, in her own words. From giddy teenager to seasoned superstar, from her devotion to her children to her consistent and compelling passion for activism, Sin ad's message never wavered. Her interviews reveal a character that was complicated, confident, and clear. These conversations render O'Connor as an ingenue and as a flirt, in love and in strife, in turbulent times and calm; they follow her lifelong quest for spiritual truth; they flaunt her mordant, coruscating wit. In them, O'Connor lives through her meteoric rise to fame after releasing megasmash albums The Lion and the Cobra and I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, and she recounts what happened when she ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul II on "Saturday Night Live"--a shocking act of protest that got her blacklisted at the time but has since earned her respect. Unguarded and unpredictable, O'Connor, in these interviews, is the woman who electrified the globe: imaginative, vulnerable, opinionated, and eloquent.
"I hadn't met SinEad before. Her face was lively and expressive, captivating, with an indefinable air that encompassed fragility, strength, experience, intensity and something feral. We drank tea and talked. Eventually we moved to another room with a huge bay window and perfect daylight. I had set up a backdrop and we sat either side of a table. I gradually shot four rolls of 120 film - 48 frames - with my Rolleiflex while we continued our conversation. It's a gentle camera, with a leaf shutter that is almost silent. It has an easy presence and doesn't intrude in the way many cameras do."The book reproduces the full sequence of photographs from the shoot including all the outtakes. It gives a fascinating insight into both the subject and the photographic process as the frame is rearranged and develops over time.
Temperamentiltaan juuri niin tulinen kirja kuin kirjoittajansa.Sinéad kertoo kaunistelemattomaan tyyliinsä kaikesta siitä, mikä on muokannut hänestä sen ristiriitaisen, ihaillun ja raivostuttavan hahmon, jona maailmanlaajuinen yleisö hänet tuntee.Ajeltuine hiuksineen ja terävine mielipiteineen Sinéad O'Connor on ihastuttanut ja ärsyttänyt miljoonia. Hänet muistetaan eritoten Princen kappaleesta Nothing Compares 2 You ja sen pakahduttavasta videosta. Suurimman skandaalin aiheutti puolestaan paavi Johannes Paavali II:n kuvan repiminen suorassa televisiolähetyksessä vuonna 1992.Sinead O'Connorin kirja on yhtä epätavanomainen kuin hänen uransa. Tyylilleen uskollisena hän puhuu suorasanaisesti vaikeasta lapsuudestaan, musiikillisista menestyksistään ja henkilökohtaisista tappioistaan. Mutta myös äidiksi tulemisen onnesta, jatkuvasta hengellisen täyttymyksen etsinnästä - ja musiikin voimasta, jonka avulla hän on selvinnyt.Sinéad O'Connor on irlantilainen laulaja ja lauluntekijä. Hän on julkaissut toistakymmentä kriitikoiden ylistämää albumia, ja ne ovat olleet useita kertoja ehdolla Grammy-palkinnon saajaksi.
A stirring defense of SinÉad O’Connor’s music and activism, and an indictment of the culture that cancelled her. In 1990, SinÉad O’Connor’s video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” turned her into a superstar. Two years later, an appearance on Saturday Night Live turned her into a scandal. For many people-including, for years, the author-what they knew of O’Connor stopped there. Allyson McCabe believes it’s time to reassess our old judgments about SinÉad O’Connor and to expose the machinery that built her up and knocked her down. Addressing triumph and struggle, sound and story, Why SinÉad O’Connor Matters argues that its subject has been repeatedly manipulated and misunderstood by a culture that is often hostile to women who speak their minds (in O’Connor’s case, by shaving her head, championing rappers, and tearing up a picture of the pope on live television). McCabe details O’Connor’s childhood abuse, her initial success, and the backlash against her radical politics without shying away from the difficult issues her career raises. She compares O’Connor to Madonna, another superstar who challenged the Catholic Church, and Prince, who wrote her biggest hit and allegedly assaulted her. A journalist herself, McCabe exposes how the media distorts not only how we see O’Connor but how we see ourselves, and she weighs the risks of telling a story that hits close to home. In an era when popular understanding of mental health has improved and the public eagerly celebrates feminist struggles of the past, it can be easy to forget how O’Connor suffered for being herself. This is the book her admirers and defenders have been waiting for.

Sinéad O’Connor achieved worldwide success as an angel-voiced, shaven-headed Irish singer of heartfelt songs, but she was far more than just a pop star – she was also an activist and a survivor. Reeling from a troubled childhood at the hands of her violent mother, she spent 18 months living in a former Magdalene Laundry due to her truancy and shoplifting, and suffered her mother’s death in a car crash – all by the age of 18. Her pain, anger and compassion would turn her into one of the world’s greatest protest singers and activists. She would release ten studio albums during her 36-year music career - the second of which (_I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got_) would reach number 1 across the world and earn her ten million pounds, half of which she gave to charity. During this time, she would also advocate for survivors of child abuse and racism, and stand up for the LGBT community and women’s reproductive rights. Most notably, she would tear up a picture of Pope John Paul II during an episode of Saturday Night Live in order to protest at child sex abuse within the Catholic church, creating headlines around the world and derailing her career. Featuring six exclusive interviews with friends and peers who knew her, this is the true story of her extraordinary and courageous journey.
