L’éveil du grand dieu Pan - Tome 1
Fraîchement installée à Sainte-Colombe, Natasha se rapproche d’Emmanuela, sa voisine, ignorant la vraie identité de celle-ci. En effet, en plus d’être douée pour les langues anciennes et les incantations vikings, Emmanuela est la descendante d’une Völva, une voyante et magicienne pratiquant d’antiques rituels scandinaves. Natasha survivra-t-elle aux véritables intentions de celle qu’elle considère comme une amie ? À PROPOS DE L'AUTRICE Fascinée par les auteurs de littérature horrifique et philosophique, Sarah Jessy Valdes cultive un profond intérêt pour les mystères qui entourent les forêts scandinaves. Dans le but de partager cette passion avec ses lecteurs, elle donne vie à "L’éveil du grand dieu Pan", le premier tome d’une saga qui explore les mystères de cette divinité grecque énigmatique.

Racialized Visions
As a Francophone nation, Haiti is seldom studied in conjunction with its Spanish-speaking Caribbean neighbors. Racialized Visions challenges the notion that linguistic difference has kept the populations of these countries apart, instead highlighting ongoing exchanges between their writers, artists, and thinkers. Centering Haiti in this conversation also makes explicit the role that race—and, more specifically, anti-blackness—has played both in the region and in academic studies of it. Following the Revolution and Independence in 1804, Haiti was conflated with blackness. Spanish colonial powers used racist representations of Haiti to threaten their holdings in the Atlantic Ocean. In the ...

Prison Truth
San Quentin State Prison, California’s oldest prison and the nation’s largest, is notorious for once holding America’s most dangerous prisoners. But in 2008, the Bastille-by-the-Bay became a beacon for rehabilitation through the prisoner-run newspaper the San Quentin News. Prison Truth tells the story of how prisoners, many serving life terms, transformed the prison climate from what Johnny Cash called a living hell to an environment that fostered positive change in inmates’ lives. Award-winning journalist William J. Drummond takes us behind bars, introducing us to Arnulfo García, the visionary prisoner who led the revival of the newspaper. Drummond describes how the San Quentin News, after a twenty-year shutdown, was recalled to life under an enlightened warden and the small group of local retired newspaper veterans serving as advisers, which Drummond joined in 2012. Sharing how officials cautiously and often unwittingly allowed the newspaper to tell the stories of the incarcerated, Prison Truth illustrates the power of prison media to humanize the experiences of people inside penitentiary walls and to forge alliances with social justice networks seeking reform.
