Описание: Abandoned by a single mother she never knew, 17-year-old Raya--obsessed with ancient myths--lives with her grandmother in a conservative Texas town. For years Raya has hidden her true feelings for her best friend and true love, Sarah. When the two are caught in an intimate moment, they are sent to a re-education camp meant to "fix" them and make them heterosexual. Upon arrival Raya vows to assume the mythic role of Orpheus, to save them both and to return them to the world of the living, at any cost. In a haunting voice reminiscent of Sylvia Plath, Orpheus Girl is as much epic poem as it is a novel--a story of first love, heartbreak, family dysfunction, and adolescent resilience set in a tragic underworld of death and imprisonment.

Описание: Wastelanding tells the history of the uranium industry on Navajo land in the U.S. Southwest, asking why certain landscapes and the peoples who inhabit them come to be targeted for disproportionate exposure to environmental harm. Uranium mines and mills on the Navajo Nation land have long supplied U.S. nuclear weapons and energy programs. By 1942, mines on the reservation were the main source of uranium for the top-secret Manhattan Project. Today, the Navajo Nation is home to more than a thousand abandoned uranium sites. Radiation-related diseases are endemic, claiming the health and lives of former miners and nonminers alike. Traci Brynne Voyles argues that the presence of uranium mining on Din\u00e9 (Navajo) land constitutes a clear case of environmental racism. Looking at discursive constructions of landscapes, she explores how environmental racism develops over time. For Voyles, the \u201cwasteland,\u201d where toxic materials are excavated, exploited, and dumped, is both a racial and a spatial signifier that renders an environment and the bodies that inhabit it pollutable. Because environmental inequality is inherent in the way industrialism operates, the wasteland is the \u201cother\u201d through which modern industrialism is established. In examining the history of wastelanding in Navajo country, Voyles provides \u201can environmental justice history\u201d of uranium mining, revealing how just as \u201ccivilization\u201d has been defined on and through \u201csavagery,\u201d environmental privilege is produced by portraying other landscapes as marginal, worthless, and pollutable.
