Eileen
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2016 MAN BOOKER PRIZE Fully lives up to the hype. A taut psychological thriller, rippled with comedy as black as a raven's wing, Eileen is effortlessly stylish and compelling. - Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, The Times The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop, an unassuming yet disturbed young woman trapped between her role as her alcoholic fatherâe(tm)s carer in his squalid home and her day job as a secretary at the boysâe(tm) prison, filled with its own quotidian horrors. Consumed by resentment and self-loathing, Eileen tempers her dreary days with perverse fantasies and dreams of escaping to the big city. In the meantime, she fills her nights and weekends...

Imigração e Envelhecimento Ativo
Este número da Revista Migrações mantém, como os anteriores, a estrutura tripartida formada por artigos científicos, análises de boas práticas e textos de opinião. No que se refere, em particular, aos artigos científicos, há textos nacionais e internacionais, de modo a dar ao leitor uma visibilidade alargada do fenómeno do envelhecimento das migrações e dos migrantes idosos no mundo. Assim, além dos três textos que se referem à realidade portuguesa, há um artigo sobre os migrantes idosos na Suíça e outro sobre um grupo particular de idosos de origem migrante no Brasil, os nipobrasileiros. As abordagens disciplinares seguidas nos artigos são sociológicas, antropológicas e demográficas; as metodologias utilizadas nas investigações a que os textos se referem são quantitativas e qualitativas; há leituras de natureza macro e micro; há análises históricas e comparativas; e, no que se refere especificamente aos estudos sobre Portugal, todos as populações migrantes presentes no país são abordadas, desde os migrantes laborais aos reformados do norte da Europa, passando pelas minorias intermediárias.

The contents feature major architects, firms, and professional issues; buildings, styles, and sites; the architecture of cities and countries; critics and historians; construction, materials, and planning topics; schools, movements, and stylistic and theoretical terms. Entries include well-selected bibliographies and illustrations."--"Reference that rocks," American Libraries, May 2005.

Poetry & Strikes
Poetry & Strikes examines shifting representations of strike action in the work of six British poets from the 1970s to the present day. It considers how these poets have come to contend with, and contribute to, narratives surrounding industrial disputes. Through these conversations, the book attempts to question the way in which union narratives and legacies are constructed, and to investigate the power dynamics that underpin the presentation of labour histories. The work of these poets helps us to understand how cultural memories have been formed, and makes it possible to see how these legacies may still be rewritten and reframed.

Chelsea Girls
In this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms their life into a work of art. Suffused with alcohol, drugs, and sex; evocative in its depictions of the hardscrabble realities of a young queer artist's life; with raw, flickering stories of awkward love, laughter, and discovery, Chelsea Girls is a funny, cool, and intimate account of how one young writer managed to shrug off the imposition of a rigid cultural identity. Told in Myles's audacious and singular voice made vivid and immediate by their lyrical language, Chelsea Girls weaves together memories of Myles's 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, their volatile adolescence, their unabashed "lesbianity," and their riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s and 80s New York.
