The Never End

This book presents full history of the origin of Orwell’s Animal Farm, as well as a translation of the Russuian/Ukranian source work. Has George Orwell lost his saintly luster? In The Never End, rabble-rouser, dogged investigator, and consummate literary stylist John Reed collects two decades of subject-Orwell findings previously published in Pank, Guernica, Literary Hub, The Brooklyn Rail, The Rumpus, The New York Press, The Believer, Harper’s Magazine and The Paris Review. Reed’s treatment of Orwell is corrective and peerlessly contemporary; he views Orwell in a twenty-first century global context, considering Orwell’s collaboration with Cold War intelligence operations—US and UK...

You Can Have It All, Just Not at the Same Damn Time

Bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker, and life and business coach Romi Neustadt has a message for women: You CAN have it all--just not at the same damn time. Romi Neustadt is a mom of two, a wife, a daughter, bestselling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and coach. What's more, she's achieved these things without a staff of 10, the ability to sleep two hours a night or driving herself batsh*t crazy. She's figured out the key to having it all: Priorities, babe. In her second book, Romi provides a no-BS blueprint for women to figure out what to focus on and what not to. She explains why saying YES to everything and everyone really means saying NO to the things that matter -- to your goals, y...

The Devil in Silicon Valley

This sweeping history explores the growing Latino presence in the United States over the past two hundred years. It also debunks common myths about Silicon Valley, one of the world's most influential but least-understood places. Far more than any label of the moment, the devil of racism has long been Silicon Valley's defining force, and Stephen Pitti argues that ethnic Mexicans--rather than computer programmers--should take center stage in any contemporary discussion of the "new West." Pitti weaves together the experiences of disparate residents--early Spanish-Mexican settlers, Gold Rush miners, farmworkers transplanted from Texas, Chicano movement activists, and late-twentieth-century music...

Critical Perspectives on Equity and Social Mobility in Study Abroad

This edited volume brings together the perspectives of a diverse group of international scholars to explore the intersections of study abroad and social mobility.

Offering empirical, theoretical, and conceptual contributions, Critical Perspectives on Equity and Social Mobility in Study Abroad foregrounds critical reflection on the stratification of access to study abroad and examines the varied outcomes of international study in relation to gra...

Portrayed by Natalie de la Cruz, this is the story of author Beatriz Curry as she struggles to carve a niche in a new and unexpectedly alien world called the United States. It is the story of tenacity in the face of adversity, of personal failures and triumphs. Her life in the US starts in1977 when she arrives in Miami with a dream of a better life, a little over a thousand dollars in her purse and four children in tow. From the moment she arrives and faces the immigration offi cer with "the coldest and most hostile eyes she had ever seen," she realizes she is in for a long and turbulent ride. She becomes a waitress, a machinist, a hotel maid as she grapples with a new language, a new city and a new world. Exhausted after years of hard work and failures, she decides to return to her country of origin-if her luck didn't change. But it does. Over 30 years later, author Beatriz Curry gives us her poignant story as she remembers it. Some details have been added or omitted to fit the story. Personal names and some places have been changed.
