One Dead at the Paris Opera Ballet
"At its debut in 1866, La Source already had it all: dagger-wielding Muslims dominating veiled women, a magic flower in a green ecology, and a full blown environmental crisis at the end. When the Paris Opera ballet restages this Orientalist and colonial drama in 2011, and again in 2014, the contemporary context of homegrown jihad, climate politics and a law banning the dissimulation of the face in public spaces, keeps it relevant. At four historic performances, over 150 years, this book explores the resonance of La Source's double narrative in its contemporary contexts: the biopolitics of bodily hybridity and regeneration and the cosmopolitics of the exploitation of human and natural resources"--

More Argentine Than You
Whether in search of adventure and opportunity or fleeing poverty and violence, millions of people migrated to Argentina in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By the late 1920s Arabic speakers were one of the country’s largest immigrant groups. This book explores their experience, which was quite different from the danger and deprivation faced by twenty-first-century immigrants from the Middle East. Hyland shows how Syrians and Lebanese, Christians, Jews, and Muslims adapted to local social and political conditions, entered labor markets, established community institutions, raised families, and attempted to pursue their individual dreams and community goals. By showing how societies can come to terms with new arrivals and their descendants, Hyland addresses notions of belonging and acceptance, of integration and opportunity. He tells a story of immigrants and a story of Argentina that is at once timely and timeless.

The Summer of Pomba Gira
He started to play a soft, warm tune that reminded him of the statue. Romantic, edgy, waiting for someone to come. He could see her there, as a real woman under a streetlight on a rainy night, waiting for love. Wasn?t that what they all wanted? Evaline put the final flourishes on her artwork and held it up for him to see. Her image was more confident and alive, with a cynical little smile that reminded him more of Evaline than the statue. He shrugged it off, didn?t all artists put something of themselves in their work? ?Maybe she?s an artist,? he said casually, nodding to the statue. ?What should I entitle it? Sad lady with a rose?? Jonah pointed to the base of the statue. The Summer of Pomb...
