Se hai un segreto, prendilo, portalo sull’Hindu Kush e nascondilo sotto una pietra. Non c’è un giorno in quei nove mesi e poi nelle lunghe ore del travaglio che Daria non abbia pregato perché nascesse un maschio. Che non abbia tremato per le conseguenze in caso contrario. Suo marito, il giovane e valoroso comandante, non avrebbe potuto sopportare l’affronto di una femmina. Solo al primogenito maschio il comandante può trasmettere tutto ciò che ha imparato dal padre e dai suoi avi. Solo un primogenito maschio può garantire al giovane comandante il rispetto dei suoi combattenti e della sua tribù, sui monti dell’Hindu Kush, in Afghanistan. Daria sa bene cosa può fare il villaggio...
Nama aku Mohd Hakim, tapi orang panggil aku Afro. Sebab apa Afro? Entah… sebab rambut aku kut. Kembang macam sarang tebuan! Hidup aku luar biasa sikit. Ada keluarga tapi macam tak ada aje.

Després de l'espectacular èxit de La germandat del Sant Sudari, Julia Navarro es consagra amb aquesta novel·la electritzant, en la qual el lector viatjarà fins als temps bíblics passant per l'Europa de la Segona Guerra Mundial, Egipte, Síria, els Estats Units, Itàlia, França, Espanya i l'Iraq de Saddam. A Roma, un home es confessa: «Pare, m'acuso perquè mataré un home...». Al mateix temps Clara Tannenberg, una jove arqueòloga néta d'un home poderós amb un passat fosc, anuncia en un congrés el descobriment d'unes tauletes que, si són autèntiques, seran la prova científica de l'existència del patriarca Abraham: és l'obra d'un escriba que va recollir el relat del profeta so...
Students and staff from KCL’s Social Sciences BA programme turn the research lens back on their own world and together explore the many challenges of ‘trying to do things differently’ in Higher Education. In doing so, they grapple with fundamental questions in education such as: how to meaningfully foreground democracy, partnership, and emotional care; the role and limits of free speech; and how to deconstruct enduring inequality and marginalisation. In a period of considerable change and challenge for education, there is surely no better time to be critically analysing the principles guiding our universities through the lens of real-life practice. "In a period when university arrangem...
Since the start of conflict in Iraq in 2003, the country’s minorities have suffered disproportionate levels of targeted violence because of their religions and ethnicities. Inside Iraq they continue to suffer this violence. Outside, they form a large proportion of those displaced, either by fleeing to neighbouring countries or seeking asylum further afield. But as this report clearly shows: having passed Iraq’s borders is no guarantee of safety. Asylum-seekers risk being turned back at the Greek border; if they continue into other member-states of the European Union they face increasingly restrictive asylum policies. For minorities the ramifications of this are stark. If rejected, they r...
This groundbreaking book on modern Palestinian culture goes beyond the usual focal point of the 1948 war to address the earlier, formative years. Drawing on previously unavailable biographies of Palestinians (including Palestinian Jews), Salim Tamari offers eleven vignettes of Palestine's cultural life in the momentous first half of the twentieth century. He brings to light the memoirs, diaries, letters, and other writings of six Jerusalem intellectuals whose lives spanned (and defined) the period of 1918-1948: a musician, a teacher, a former aristocrat, a doctor, a Bolshevik revolutionary, and a Jewish novelist. These essays present an integrated cultural history that illuminates a watershed in the modern social history of the Arab East, the formulation of the Arab Enlightenment.
