Описание: A new heartfelt novel about the power of loneliness and the strength of love that overcomes it by critically acclaimed author Roselle Lim. Newly minted professional matchmaker Sophie Go has returned to Toronto, her hometown, after spending three years in Shanghai. Her job is made quite difficult, however, when she is revealed as a fraud--she never actually graduated from matchmaking school. In a competitive market like Toronto, no one wants to take a chance on an inexperienced and unaccredited matchmaker, and soon Sophie becomes an outcast. In dire search of clients, Sophie stumbles upon a secret club within her condo complex: the Old Ducks, seven septuagenarian Chinese bachelors who never found love. Somehow, she convinces them to hire her, but her matchmaking skills are put to the test as she learns the depths of loneliness, heartbreak, and love by attempting to make the hardest matches of her life.

Описание:
This unique Caribbean play presents an all-embracing Caribbean experience. Be prepared to be in awe by the famed folkloric icon Anancy, (who is presented as a female), together with other cultural cohorts; Papa Bois, the silk cotton tree, African gods, Kumina rituals, Kalinda dances, transplanting of African culture in the Caribbean, magical powers, plantation life, rebellion, and conquest. The Play's ambitious timeline embodies raided African children, their Transatlantic crossing, plantation life and survival of traditions, are presented in epic proportions. It stars Gang-Gang Sarah, an African combatant warrior slave, whose prowess and skills in African traditional art and medicine, and dynamism as a leader, is both attractive and threatening to those around her.
Hailing from Africa, legend says Gang-Gang Sarah had magical powers that enabled her to fly from Africa to the Caribbean, to look after slaves on Caribbean plantations there. However, in this play Gang-Gang Sarah, is presented as a Caribbean slave woman warrior, with skills that link her prowess as a skilled combatant, Doula, folk herbalist, and cultural leader, to her uniqueness as an individual, who challenges her slave master, with sometimes devastating consequences. Provocative in content and style, this play acquaints readers with a history of the making of the Caribbean, and the story of Anancy in the Caribbean. Anancy's story is encapsulated in the main narrative, forming the mise-en-abime, with signifiers within the text that lead to other narratives. Additionally, it presents African complicity in the slave trade, which enabled slave capture and trading, the development and expansion of the Sugar Plantation in the Caribbean and the influence, growth and development of African religious and spiritual beliefs in the Caribbean. A major theme highlighted is the politics of male dis-empowerment and the matrifocal family, as well as the role of transplantation, acculturation and synthesism of African cultures in the Caribbean.
Ultimately, given present reflection in 2020, on the currency of re-assessing the values of past and present cultural assets in the 21st century, especially with the global outpouring of mass unity, (ignited by George Floyd's death in the USA), against actions that are directly linked to past atrocities, e.g. slavery, that continue to have repercussions in our world today. The writer calls for an reassessment of Gang-Gang's story, in the hope that it would ignite debates on the importance of this legendary figure. The writer suggests that Gang-Gang Sarah has been relegated to a myth, which debunked her legendary status and cultural importance and instead branded her a witch. Therefore, the suggestion is that there should be a re-evaluation of the trope from "witch" to "warrior," since perspectives on Gang-Gang's African religious and cultural significance in the Caribbean environment at that time, was based on misconceptions by the dominant Christian ideology at that time.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Deborah Spine was born in Roseville, California, in the early 1950s. She became a Born-Again Christian at the age of 10 at Summer camp and has been walking with the Lord ever since. She has been married to Charlie for nearly half a century. They have two children, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren so far In short, she is grateful for and humbled by all the blessings in her life. Debbie, Charlie, and their two chihuahuas currently live surrounded by giant pine trees in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
While Debbie was attending nursing school and preparing for an anatomy test, she started to daydream about how we are "fearfully and wonderfully made." She thought of her imperfect love for Jesus and His perfect love for her. She imagined offering herself to Him one body part at a time. She was reminded of Romans 6:12-13 "Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness." (NIV) And that is how A BRAND NEW CREATURE came to be. Also, look for her Coloring Book and the 2-year Calendar in the A BRAND NEW CREATURE series.

Описание: Spaces of War, War of Spaces provides a rich, international and multi-disciplinary engagement with the convergence of war and media through the conceptual lens of ‘space’. ‘Space’ offers a profound, challenging and original framework through which notions of communication, embodiment, enactment, memory and power are interrogated not only in terms of how media spaces (traditional, digital, cultural, aesthetic, embodied, mnemonic) transform the conduct, outcomes and consequences of war for all involved, but how ‘war’ actors (political, military, survivors, victims) recreate space in a manner that is transformative across political, social, cultural and personal spheres. Foregrounding the work of artists, activists and practitioners alongside more traditional scholarly approaches Spaces of War, War of Spaces engages with the ‘messiness’ of war and media through the convergence of practice and theory, where showing and embodying is made explicit.
