The great Chiricahau warrior and medicine man known as Geronimo, found himself at an impossible crossroads. Betrayed by those he trusted, hunted by the United States government, he must find a way to forge a path ahead for himself and his people. He remembered the legend of the Muqaabil. Supernatural protectors who came to the tribe in their hour of need. As he crossed enemy terrain to seek the counsel of a shaman who he deemed his mentor, Geronimo meditated on the idea of who and where to find the protectors for his people. But, despite all of his wisdom, he doesn't realize how close the Muqaabil are, or the potential for the mystical protectors to unite and defend not just Chiricahau, but all of the native American tribes. Reverent, inspiring, and thrilling, Muqaabil is a timeless tale of bravery and self-discovery.

Описание: Two ordinary chickens dare to cross the road in this bind-up of hilarious illustrated chapter books Extraordinary Warren and Extraordinary Warren Saves the Day. Warren, a bespectacled chicken, is bored with the everyday chicken routine: peck, cluck, feed; peck, cluck, feed. Same old, same old. There must be more to life. And there must be more to Warren. He leaves the farm to discover what makes him special--and with the help of an unhatched egg and a snarky, hungry rat, he just might get some answers. In his next adventure, Warren is delighted to have a sidekick and feathered friend in the newly hatched Egg. But Egg is rather exasperating. New to the world, he asks so many questions and has so much to learn. Early one morning Egg takes off on his own, and when Warren realizes Egg has flown the coop, nothing will stop him from locating his best buddy--not even that hungry rat, Millard. Filled with simple text, speech balloons, and engaging illustrations, these easy-to-follow stories are a blend between a picture book and a chapter book, making it an ideal bridge for independent readers.

«The Disney Corporation has recently found itself embroiled in the so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ legislation debates in Florida. Disney, as both filmmaker and global conglomerate, remains a powerful force in representations of diversity in American culture. The essays in Neo-Disneyism include examinations of films such as Return to Neverland, Luca, and Encanto, and Disney’s own reinterpretations of its classics in its live-action remakes, as well as examining the theme parks. This groundbreaking book offers new perspectives in Disney scholarship as well as bringing a critical eye to the most pressing issues of identity in our current time.»
(Professor Johnson Cheu, Michigan State University)
«This collection is a needed reassessment of Disney media adaptations in the last twenty years. The essays consider examples of inclusivity and the gaps needing transformation, underscoring the potential for an iconic American symbol of commercial success to advance social justice, gender equity, and racial/ethnic inclusivity, encouraging difficult conversations.»
(Professor Pushpa Parekh, Spelman College)
In 2003 Brenda Ayres published The Emperor’s Old Groove: Decolonizing Disney’s Magic Kingdom with Peter Lang. The contributors to its collection of essays arguedthat although the Disney Company had been making attempts to representmulticultural diversity, it persisted in inculcating insidious racial, cultural, andgender stereotypes. Nearly twenty years have passed since that analysis, andcurrent scholars—many of them young and non-Western—are assessingmore recent Disney films and finding them to be more inclusive, tolerant, andaffirmative than previous works from the magic kingdom. The appraisal of Disney entertainment in the twenty-first century is the focus of the thirteen chapters by scholarly contributors from around the globe, finding it to be more inclusive, tolerant, and affirmative of multiple cultures, ethnicities, nationalities, and gender as well as the differently abled and mentally challenged. The analysis also suggests what Disney might yet do to promote peace, harmony, and wellbeing in a world that desperately needs to learn how to get along with others.
