Die Bühne unter meinen Füßen
In "Die Bühne unter meinen Füßen" erzählt die Sängerin Mélinée von den prägenden Momenten ihres Lebens. Mit Intensität und Humor schildert sie ihre Kindheit, ihre Jugend, ihre Liebe für die Cevennen oder ihre Reisen mit einem Bus und andere Abenteuer auf der ganzen Welt. Sie erzählt auch von der Kraft ihrer Freundschaften und Liebesgeschichten und von ihrer schwankenden Existenz, die von den depressiven und manischen Phasen ihrer bipolaren Störung geprägt ist. Berlin ist eine wichtige Figur in dieser autobiografischen Erzählung, ebenso wie der französische Sänger Renaud. Mélinée gibt auch dem Theater und dem Chanson Raum, die ihrer turbulenten Geschichte Farbe geben.

Swahili Muslim Publics and Postcolonial Experience
Swahili Muslim Publics and Postcolonial Experience is an exploration of the ideas and public discussions that have shaped and defined the experience of Kenyan coastal Muslims. Focusing on Kenyan postcolonial history, Kai Kresse isolates the ideas that coastal Muslims have used to separate themselves from their "upcountry Christian" countrymen. Kresse looks back to key moments and key texts—pamphlets, newspapers, lectures, speeches, radio discussions—as a way to map out the postcolonial experience and how it is negotiated in the coastal Muslim community. On one level, this is a historical ethnography of how and why the content of public discussion matters so much to communities at particular points in time. Kresse shows how intellectual practices can lead to a regional understanding of the world and society. On another level, this ethnography of the postcolonial experience also reveals dimensions of intellectual practice in religious communities and thus provides an alternative model that offers a non-Western way to understand regional conceptual frameworks and intellectual practice.

Cultivating Connections
In the late 1870s, thousands of Chinese men left coastal British Columbia and the western United States and headed east. For them, the Prairies were a land of opportunity; there, they could open shops and potentially earn enough money to become merchants. The result of almost a decade's research and more than three hundred interviews, Cultivating Connections tells the stories of some of Prairie Canada's Chinese settlers - men and women from various generations who navigated cultural difference. These stories reveal the critical importance of networks in coping with experiences of racism and establishing a successful life on the Prairies.
