Have women finally moved beyond the status of cultural outsiders to become full participants in American poetry and its criticism? In By Herself: Women Reclaim Poetry - edited by Molly McQuade - contemporary women poets reconsider their art form on their own terms, and the results are both telling and fascinating. This lively and richly varied collection offers more than two dozen essays that are uniformly original, challenging, playful, and ruthlessly individualistic.

Parveen and her younger sister Bulbul had, through no fault of their own, ended up trapped for life as bonded labourers in the brick-kiln industry in Pakistan.
Their drama began at an early age when their family moved from Goa to a small railway town called Kamoke situated in rural Punjab. The years just after World War II, with the partition of the Indian subcontinent and the formation of Pakistan and India as separate independent nations, came into being. An account of one single massacre in the Kamoke railway station provides the reader with the window into what might possibly have happened to a portion of approximately 1.5 million people who were murdered or killed during the mayhem.
Also, that year, the mighty British Raj was preparing to finalize their occupation of the Indian subcontinent and return to Great Britain. They had repulsed a Japanese massive attempt to invade Northeast India from Burma. The British army, along with the support of a couple of Indian regiments and American air support, suppressed the advance.
One of the Lord Louis Mountbatten's chief contributions was to coordinate the partition on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. He also was responsible for drawing up the new international (Radcliffe Line) boundary between the two new countries. The agreement went ahead on the 14-15 August 1947 in the company of Prime Minister Nehru representing India and Jinnah, the 'Quaid-E-Azam' (Founder of the Nation), representing Pakistan.
The story began in the 1980's. Praveen, at the time was a grandmother, shared her stories with a group of workers at the end of their hard day's work in the day pits, brick kiln, and farmlands.
As the sun sank low in the skies, out across the semi-arid desert, one could not but notice how, at forty -eight, Parveen looked much older than her age because of the harsh climate and her individual lifelong struggle for survival. Nothing much had changed in their lives since she and Bulbul were transported to live in the desert. This was where they learnt to face up to the various issues because of inadequate health facilities, and lack of basic infrastructure. Regular droughts, famines, infant mortality, malaria, and waterborne diseases were commonplace reality.

McQuade shares stories from his globe-trotting military and civilian career in this debut memoir.
The author led a colorful life from the start, growing up in Troubles-era Belfast and then in slightly less troubled Dublin in the 1960s. He came from a large and loquacious family --- one of 13 children, -- At 15, he joined a volunteer reservist force in Ireland, then the Irish army. At 19, with the United Nations' interim peacekeeping force in South Lebanon, enforcing a border between disparate religious and ethnic factions. Back in Belfast for his grandfather's funeral, he found his own role reversed when he was stopped by a British patrol; "They were all young soldiers around my own age and seemed very nervous and jumpy... I had about three rifles pointing at my chest or maybe my head too " His soldiering days were followed by years of humanitarian work in Pakistan and Afghanistan, rounding out this account of experiences in the unstable regions of the world.
McQuade he knows how to tell a story, providing the wondrous details of life in the various war zones of his autobiography with humor and empathy. Recurring strains emerge, however, and he presents the violence that arises from poverty, identify, and ideology as a nearly universal human trait - one that can only be kept at bay with compassion, a bit of music, and the recognition of mutual ridiculousness.
A meandering but enjoyable account of an Irish soldier at home and abroad.

Описание: In the last decade, the United States has poured over a billion dollars into a network of interagency intelligence centers called "fusion centers." While ostensibly set up to prevent terrorism, politicians, the press, and policy advocates have criticized fusion centers for failing on this account. Why do these security systems persist? Pacifying the Homeland travels inside the world of intelligence fusion and sees past the apparent failure of fusion centers to reveal a broader shift away from mass incarceration and toward a more surveillance- and police-intensive system of social regulation. Provided with unprecedented access to domestic intelligence centers, Brendan McQuade uncovers how the institutionalization of intelligence fusion enables decarceration without fully addressing the underlying social problems at the root of mass incarceration. The result is a startling analysis that contributes to the debates on surveillance, mass incarceration, and policing in the aftermath of the Great Recession, 9/11, Snowden, and the Black Lives Matter movement. Pacifying the Homeland challenges readers to see and study surveillance, policing, mass incarceration, and the state in an entirely new light.

Infused with the keen insight of Joyce Carol Oates and haunting power of Kelly Link, a radiant collection of linked stories that explore the vulnerability, resilience, and hidden desires of women, following six girls over the course of sixty years, from their first semester at boarding school to the twilight of their lives.
It begins with a drowning. One day Mr. Arcilla, the romance language teacher at Briarfield, an all-girls boarding school, is found dead at the bottom of Reed Pond. Young and handsome, the object of much fantasy and fascination, he was adored by his students. For Lilith and Romy, Evie and Claire, Nellie and Grace, he was their first love, and their first true loss.
In this extraordinary collection, Kate McQuade explores the ripple effect of one transformative moment on six lives, witnessed at a different point in each girl's future. Throughout these stories, these bright, imaginative, and ambitious girls mature into women, lose touch and call in favors, achieve success and endure betrayal, marry and divorce, have children and struggle with infertility, abandon husbands and remain loyal to the end.
Lyrical, intimate, and incisive, Tell Me Who We Were explores the inner worlds of girls and women, the relationships we cherish and betray, and the transformations we undergo in the simple act of living.
