"Maia D'Apliaese and her five sisters gather together at their childhood home, 'Atlantis'--a fabulous, secluded castle situated on the shores of Lake Geneva--having been told that their beloved father, who adopted them all as babies, has died. Each of them is handed a tantalizing clue to her true heritage--a clue which takes Maia across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Once there, she begins to put together the pieces of her story and its beginnings"--
Literacy has traditionally been associated with the linguistic and functional ability to read and write. Although literacy, as a fundamental issue in education, has received abundant attention in the last few decades, most publications to date have focused on monolingual classrooms. Language teacher educators have a responsibility to prepare teachers to be culturally responsive and flexible so they can adapt to the range of settings and variety of learners they will encounter in their careers while also bravely questioning the assumptions they are encountering about multilingual literacy development and instruction. The Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual...
A Cold War-era study of Latin American anarchism in action. Araiza Kokinis's study of the Uruguayan Anarchist Federation (FAU) broadens our understanding of the Cold War-era political landscape beyond the capitalism-communism and Old Left-New Left binaries that dominate the historiography of the epoch. Arguably the most impactful anarchist organization globally in the Cold War era, the FAU viewed everyday people as revolutionary protagonists and sought to develop a popular counter-subjectivity through accumulating experiences directly challenging the market and the state. The FAU argued that everyday people transformed into revolutionary subjects through the regular practice of collective di...
When central banks started raising interest rates in reaction to the spike in inflation which followed the COVID-19 epidemic, they put an end to a more than a decade of "low for longer" interest rates to which the financial sector had adjusted their balance sheets and business models. The resulting "new monetary order" has required all parts of the financial sector to make serious adjustments. The fate of the US and Swiss banks caught up in the March 2023 "bank turmoil" can be seen as a cautionary tale for those who do not adjust in a timely fashion. This book reviews how the financial sector evolved during "low for longer" and examines how monetary policy, financial regulation and supervision, the banking and the non-bank financial sectors can be expected to evolve under this new order.
