GUMBO YA-YA
The living folklore of Louisiana returns in this new edition of the classic Gumbo Ya-Ya. Long considered the finest collection of Louisiana folk tales and customs, Gumbo Ya-Ya chronicles the stories and legends that have emerged from the bayou country.

Amnesty International in Italia
Chi sono “le ONG”? Come funzionano? Come operano? Che ruolo hanno nel processo politico e nel dibattito pubblico? Antonio Marchesi scrive un resoconto dettagliato e veritiero dal punto di vista di chi per anni è stato al centro dei lavori dell’associazione per i diritti umani più conosciuta al mondo. Amnesty International è una delle realtà più conosciute e impegnate nella lotta per i diritti umani. In questo volume Antonio Marchesi racconta apertamente della sua esperienza all’interno dell’associazione, della quale è stato presidente fino al 2019, concentrandosi principalmente sulla sezione italiana, di cui conosce a fondo i sistemi. Lavorare per i diritti umani è un’aspirazione che accomuna un numero significativo di persone di età e origini diverse ma, purtroppo, non facile da attuare. L’autore ci racconta le problematiche legate a chi questo mestiere lo vorrebbe trasformare nel proprio lavoro principale. Con l’intento di trasmettere l’importanza del lavoro di Amnesty, Marchesi riporta una testimonianza concreta dei risultati ottenuti da quest’ultima e della loro utilità.

The Prodigious Muse
In her award-winning, critically acclaimed Women's Writing in Italy, 1400--1650, Virginia Cox chronicles the history of women writers in early modern Italy -- who they were, what they wrote, where they fit in society, and how their status changed during this period. In this book, Cox examines more closely one particular moment in this history, in many ways the most remarkable for the richness and range of women's literary output. A widespread critical notion sees Italian women's writing as a phenomenon specific to the peculiar literary environment of the mid-sixteenth century, and most scholars assume that a reactionary movement such as the Counter-Reformation was unlikely to spur its develo...
