Описание: #1NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *;The compelling, inspiring, and comically sublime story of one man's coming-of-age, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed
NAMED ONE OF PASTE'S BEST MEMOIRS OF THE DECADE *; NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Michiko Kakutani, New York Times *; USA Today *; San Francisco Chronicle *; NPR *;Esquire *; Newsday *; Booklist
Trevor Noah's unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents' indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away.
Finally liberated by the end of South Africa's tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle.
Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man's relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious motherhis teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life.
The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty.
His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother's unconventional, unconditional love.

Описание: Ten years after the publication of the foundational edited collection Folklore and the Internet, Andrew Peck and Trevor J. Blank bring an essential update of scholarship to the study of digital folklore, Folklore and Social Media. A unique virtual, hybridized platform for human communication, social media is more dynamic, ubiquitous, and nuanced than the internet ever was by itself, and the majority of Americans use it to access and interact with digital source materials in more advanced and robust ways. This book features twelve chapters ranging in topics from legend transmission and fake news to case studies of memes, joke cycles, and Twitter hashtag campaigns and offers fresh insights on digital heritage and web archiving. The editors and contributors take both the "digital" and "folklore" elements seriously because social media fundamentally changes folk practices in new, though often invisible, ways. Social media platforms encourage hybrid performances that appear informal and ordinary while also offering significant space to obfuscate backstage behaviors through editing and retakes. The result is that expression online becomes increasingly reminiscent of traditional forms of face-to-face interaction, while also hiding its fundamental differences. Folklore and Social Media demonstrates various ways to refine methods and analyses in order to develop a better understanding of the informal and traditional dynamics that define an era of folklore and social media. It is an invaluable addition to the literature on digital folklore scholarship that will be of interest to students and scholars alike. Contributors: Sheila Bock, Peter M.

Описание: ALL LIES IN TRUMPERLAND is a witty, satirical, political parody about the McDonald J Trumper and BoJo Jockstrap, written using the theme of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll. BoJo falls down the rabbit hole into Trumperland and meets a lot of the 'Alice' characters - metamorphosed into Trumper characters - as he wanders around. TSB, the author, has tried to fit into the book as many parodies as possible that relate to the real things that BoJo and the Trumper have done and made them poke at each other through the various characters. In addition, those chapters alternate with what he has called 'Meanwhile' chapters (i.e. meanwhile back at home) which are a reverse characterization of Melania and Trump, with her being the dominant one, as the Queen of Queens, and the Trumper being the grovelling 'Yes dear' guy. Enjoy ALL LIES IN TRUMPERLAND as it chronicles the bumbling foibles of two so-called 'world leaders' as they bounce from disaster to disaster in ever-deepening spirals of doom for their respective countries. The book covers many topics - but always with a satirical 'tongue in cheek' twist - including the 2016 election, border wall, Ukraine, Trumper's affairs, family and kids, London anti-Trumper protests, impeachment and up to the very early days of the coronavirus. And, likewise for BoJo, he has to deal with Brexit, defections in Parliament, allegations of Russian interference, his family and kids and mistresses and much more. All this is done through characters like the Cheshire Pussy, the Mad Hater, Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber, Roody-Doody, Bolt-On the Walrus, Moscow Mitch the Mock Turtle and Spicy Sean the Gryphon. Of course, no Trumper story would be complete without B.A.R.A.C.K O'Bama and Crooked Hillarious Clingfilm plus, it even has James Madison 'Father of the Constitution' sitting in judgement on the Trumper. Part of the theme is also BoJo seeing himself and the flaws in his own character in the Trumper - like looking in a mirror. The inspiration to write the book came as a result of watching the late-night talk shows which were royally taking the mickey out of Trump every night. People like Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah, James Corden, John Oliver, Bill Maher etc. Then TSB realised it wasn't just funny - it was also a terrible hit on democracy, law & order, colour, race, religion, the Constitution, life, the universe and everything. So, he also began to watch the nightly cable news shows of Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Hayes, Ari Melber, Joy Reid etc. and daily videos by Glenn Kirschner and take in all the really mind-blowing, serious stuff that was going on. Doing it in the style of a classic fairy story seemed to be the best way to tell the intertwined stories of BoJo and the Trumper. But, best of all, just before the book was published in September 2020, it was reported by celebrated author, Bob Woodward, that Jared Kushner had said that the best way to understand the Trumper presidency was by reading Alice in Wonderland. It's not quite straight from the horse's mouth, but it is a really good tip by the stableboy.

Описание: These private journals, made available here for the first time, record Hugh Trevor-Roper’s visit to the People’s Republic of China in the autumn of 1965, shortly before the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, and describe the controversial aftermath of his journey on his return to England.
The visit was a catalogue of frustrations, which he relates with the verve and irony of a master narrator who relished the human comedy. His efforts to meet the real life and mind of China, in whose history and politics he had long been interested, were blocked at every turn by the resources of state propaganda and the claustrophobic attention of sullen Party guides. The visit was arranged by the London-based Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding, which was ostensibly committed to the impartial interchange of culture and ideas. It proved to be run by a Communist claque whose ruthless methods of control outwitted the well-connected membership.
Back in England, and with help from MI5, he resolved to get to the bottom of the society’s affairs. His investigations provoked a tumultuous public row which Trevor-Roper, no shirker of controversy, zestfully traces in these pages. Through the book, which closes with an account of his visit to Taiwan and South-East Asia in 1967, there runs the wisdom of historical perspective that he brought to contemporary events and his lifelong commitment to the defence of liberal values and practices against their ideological adversaries.

Описание: 1066 is perhaps the most important date in English history. The elite Normans themselves brought England much closer to Continental Europe, and brought in novel styles of military training. This title explores their lifestyle and the ways in which they interacted with the Anglo-Saxon English as they changed the face of the country forever.
Описание: Should transhuman and posthuman persons ever be brought into existence? And if so, could they be generated in a good and loving way? This study explores how society may respond to the actual generation of new kinds of persons from ethical, philosophical, and theological perspectives. Contributors to this volume address a number of essential questions, including the ethical ramifications of generating new life, the relationships that generators may have with their creations, and how these creations may consider their generation. This collection's interdisciplinary approach traverses the philosophical writings of Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, alongside theological considerations from Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. It invites academics, faith leaders, policy makers, and stakeholders to think through the ethical gamut of generating posthuman and transhuman persons.
