White Malice
Accra, 1958. Africa’s liberation leaders have gathered for a conference, full of strength, purpose and vision. Newly independent Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah and Congo’s Patrice Lumumba strike up a close partnership. Everything seems possible. But, within a few years, both men will have been targeted by the CIA, and their dream of true African autonomy undermined. The United States, watching the Europeans withdraw from Africa, was determined to take control.

The conclusion was simple: th...

Dan, wanita itu bersumpah mencurahkan seluruh kebencian dan kesumat dalam dirinya.” Ketika Arthur Kipps, pengacara muda, ditugaskan untuk menghadiri pemakaman seorang klien di kota kecil Crythin Gifford, dia menganggapnya sebagai batu pijakan untuk naik jabatan.

Ternyata tak ada warga Crythin Gifford yang sudi berurusan dengan Nyonya Drablow maupun Eel Marsh House. Mereka bilang tempat itu dikutuk, sering terdengar lolongan mengenaskan dari balik kabut. Kipps menguatkan diri dan nekad bermalam di Eel Marsh House, meski banyak orang mencegahnya. Di rumah angker itu, Kipps bertemu dengan sesosok wanita bergaun hitam. Sosok arwah legenda yang kemunculannya selalu diikuti oleh kematian misterius. Sosok penuh dendam dan kebencian yang selalu ingin memakan korban. Dan kini dia mengejar Kipps.

A Soft Place to Land
From the award-winning author of Bound South comes a powerful, moving novel of family loss and sisterly redemption. For more than ten years, Naomi and Phil Harrison enjoyed a marriage of heady romance, tempered only by the needs of their children. But on a vacation alone, the couple perishes in a flight over the Grand Canyon. After the funeral, their daughters, Ruthie and Julia, are shocked by the provisions in their will…not the least of which is that they are to be separated. Spanning nearly two decades, the sisters’ journeys take them from their familiar home in Atlanta to sophisticated bohemian San Francisco, a mountain town in Virginia, the campus of Berkeley, and lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. As they heal from loss, search for love, and begin careers, their sisterhood, once an oasis, becomes complicated by resentment, anger, and jealousy. It seems as though the echoes of their parents’ deaths will never stop reverberating—until another shocking accident changes everything once again.
Overcoming Everyday Racism
This enlightening and reflective guide studies the psychological impact of racism and discrimination on BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) people and offers steps to improve wellbeing. It includes definitions of race, racism and other commonly used terms, such as microaggressions, and evaluates the effect of definitions used to describe BAME people. Each chapter of the book focusses on one category of wellbeing - self-acceptance, personal growth, purpose in life, positive relations with others, environmental mastery, autonomy - and includes case examples, spaces for reflection and practical, creative exercises. For use as a tool within counselling and therapeutic settings as well as a self-help tool by individuals, each category provides a framework for thinking about how to manage everyday racism, live with more resilience, and thrive.
