Cast a Diva
Maria Callas (1923–77) was the greatest opera diva of all time. Despite a career that remains unmatched by any prima donna, much of her life was overshadowed by her fiery relationship with Aristotle Onassis, who broke her heart when he left her for Jacqueline Kennedy, and her legendary tantrums on and off the stage. However, little is known about the woman behind the diva. She was a girl brought up between New York and Greece, who was forced to sing by her emotionally abusive mother and who left her family behind in Greece for an international career. Feted by royalty and Hollywood stars, she fought sexism to rise to the top, but there was one thing she wanted but could not have – a happy private life. In Cast a Diva, bestselling author Lyndsy Spence draws on previously unseen documents to reveal the raw, tragic story of a true icon.
Ain't I a Diva?
“[Allred] interrogates Beyoncé’s music and videos to explore the complicated spaces where racism, sexism, and capitalism collide.” —Kirkus Reviews In 2010, Professor Kevin Allred created the university course “Politicizing Beyoncé” to both wide acclaim and controversy. He outlines his pedagogical philosophy in Ain’t I a Diva?, exploring what it means to build a syllabus around a celebrity.

Inside/Out
Lesbians and gays have gone from "coming out," to "acting up," to "outing," meanwhile radically redefining society's views on sexuality and gender. The essays in Inside/Out employ a variety of approaches (psychoanalysis, deconstruction, semiotics, and discourse theory) to investigate representations of sex and sexual difference in literature, film, video, music, and photography. Engaging the figures of divas, dykes, vampires and queens, the contributors address issues such as AIDS, pornography, pedagogy, authorship, and activism. Inside/Out shifts the focus from sex to sexual orientation, provoking a reconsideration of the concepts of the sexual and the political.

Terima Kasih Untuk Aku Yang Tak Gampang Menyerah
Manusia seringnya mengutamakan perasaan orang lain, maka tidak heran jika setiap dari kita selalu merasa kecewa. Terlalu memaksakan diri untuk bisa menyenangkan semua orang, hingga ia lupa dengan kebahagiaan diri sendiri yang nyatanya jauh lebih penting. Padahal, tidak selamanya melihat orang lain bahagia membuat kita bahagia. Pasalnya, setiap dari kita mempunyai level kebahagiaan yang berbeda dan cara yang tidak sama. Di saat manusia merasa dirinya tidak bahagia, maka seringnya ia berpikir buruk pada takdir Allah azza wa jalla. Manakala suuzan itu hadir dalam hati setiap anak Adam, pada akhirnya keburukan dalam diri timbul perlahan—seperti halnya: pesimis, mudah kecewa, dan susah terlepas dari apa-apa yang membuat hatinya terluka. Tidak banyak orang yang tahu bahwa salah satu cara untuk bisa bahagia adalah berterima kasih kepada diri sendiri untuk segala perjuangan dan pengorbanan. Tidak gampang menyerah pada kondisi sulit. Menerima apa-apa yang sudah ditakdirkan Allah, dan tidak pernah membandingkan jalan hidup dengan orang lain. Dengan begitu, kita bisa terlepas dari sumber kekecewaan yang beragam.
