Описание: A critical examination of six memoirs and six novels written by and about young adults from Africa who were once child soldiers. This book analyzes not only how such narratives document the human rights violations experienced by these former child soldiers but also how they connect and disconnect from their readers in the global public sphere
On November 3, 1979, in the Morningside neighborhood of Greensboro, North Carolina, a caravan of Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Party members arrived on the scene of an anti-Klan protest. After a scuffle, some of the Klan and Nazis opened fire on the mostly unarmed, racially mixed gathering of political activists, labor organizers, and children. While news cameras filmed, five protesters were killed and ten were wounded. Police officers were notably absent at the time of the attack. State and federal criminal trials resulted in acquittals of the shooters by all-white juries. The City of Greensboro consistently denied any responsibility for the events. In 2001, Greensboro took its first groundbreaking steps toward confronting the past through an independent Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Inspired by South Africa's efforts to tackle injustice and seek reconciliation on a larger scale, Greensboro explicitly and controversially connected its experience to other contexts of injustice and launched a novel undertaking for a U.S. community. Learning from Greensboro provides an insider's look at the truth and reconciliation process, including how it worked, the challenges it faced, and the local context in which it existed. The book offers valuable practical insights into the process of truth-telling and gives testimony to the possibility that denial, indifference, and hidden histories can be made to yield to a deeper and lasting justice.

Описание:
One more kill and she's free. But only if she doesn't fall in love first.
Love destroys. Zaida has lived by that motto for centuries as a siren and the faerie queen's most lethal assassin. So keeping things strictly professional with the sexy human she's working with on the FBI's paranormal task force shouldn't be a problem. Except it is.
Former Army Ranger Zimm isn't a big fan of love either. Losing everything and everyone will do that to a guy. Keeping his hands off the badass, sword-happy siren who's helping him track down a murderous demon should be easy. But it isn't.
If Zaida and Zimm have any hope of claiming their happily ever after, they'll have to catch a killer, outwit immortal royalty, and face off against an evil magical organization. And then there's the little matter of the last hit the queen has ordered Zaida to carry out in exchange for her freedom. The target? Zimm.
Seems like everything's about to get supernaturally complicated.
