Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him.
At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka's foremost author delivers a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths. 'Recalls the mordant wit and surrealism of Gogol and Bulgakov.' Guardian 'Outstanding... the most significant work of Sri Lankan fiction in a decade.' New European

Автор: Pereira de Almeida Djaimilia Название: That Hair ISBN: 1947793411 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781947793415 Издательство: Random House - Penguin Цена: 14670.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: "The story of my curly hair," says Mila, the narrator of Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida's autobiographically inspired tragicomedy, "intersects with the story of at least two countries and, by extension, the underlying story of the relations among several continents: a geopolitics." Mila is the Luanda-born daughter of a black Angolan mother and a white Portuguese father. She arrives in Lisbon at the tender age of three, and feels like an outsider from the jump. Through the lens of young Mila's indomitably curly hair, her story interweaves memories of childhood and adolescence, family lore spanning four generations, and present-day reflections on the internal and external tensions of a European and African identity. In layered and luscious prose, That Hair enriches and deepens a global conversation, challenging in necessary ways our understanding of racism, feminism, and the double inheritance of colonialism, not yet fifty years removed from Angola's independence. It's the story of coming of age as a black woman in a nation at the edge of Europe that is also rapidly changing, of being considered an outsider in one's own country, and the impossibility of "returning" to a homeland one doesn't in fact know.

Автор: Sylvia Christine Almeida Название: Environmental Education in a Climate of Reform: Understanding Teacher Educators` Perspectives ISBN: 9463002162 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789463002165 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 119540.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: India is grappling with serious environmental issues that have been largely sparked by its galloping economy. As a measure of its seriousness to reduce the environmental impacts it has spearheaded numerous policy initiatives. One of the major thrusts of the proposed initiatives to curb environmental degradation has been to create an informed and well-educated citizenry. The federal mandates have triggered new curriculum policies and the compulsory teaching of environmental and sustainability education at all levels in all education institutions. This volume examines the policy practice conundrum. It looks at how national and international policy reforms reach practitioners—in this case teacher educators. Furthermore, it unravels how teacher educators understand environmental education, the ways in which they negotiate its demands on their busy schedules, what helps them in determining relevant issues within this and finally how they implement these policies in their everyday practices. It is evident from this book that while there have been some really well meaning development of policies, their impact on teacher educators’ practice, and therefore student teachers’ learning about Environmental Education is limited. The study showed that while these teacher educators had a clear understanding of the environment and saw the need/importance of incorporating Environmental Education in their daily practices they had very little scope to do so. There were numerous factors that constrained implementation. The book provides inputs on global policy practice gaps. It offers valuable insights to a global audience grappling with understanding the ways in which environmental education policies are put into practice in emerging economies like India. The final argument is thesis that while policy reforms are a step in the right direction they need to be backed up with strong implementation systems in order to be successful.

Описание: "The Rogue narrates a beautiful nightmare with aplomb, even mastery. The timing of the dialogue and the layers of engagement are very well rendered. The story is written by an outsider, far removed from the Portuguese way of being. It shows the oddity of things Portuguese." ―L dia Jorge, prominent Portuguese novelist and author "While exploring the enduring hypocrisies and injustices in contemporary Portuguese life, Julieta Rodrigues dem- onstrates a heartfelt and admirable interest in those who rarely if ever make the news or draw our ongoing attention, unveiling―in compelling and complex ways―what is most curious and dramatic in their lives." ―Richard Zimler, best-selling author of fiction, journalist, poet, screen-writer "Julieta Rodrigues's short story collection probes and tears at the heart of the question, 'What does it currently mean to be Portuguese?' Through spellbinding prose which weaves deftly through stories of domestic abuse, religious rebellion, adulterous wives and imprisoned drug dealers, the darker sides of contemporary Portuguese life are illuminated and in turn its greatest societal and polit- ical truths are revealed." ―Erik Van Achter, Researcher, Center for Portuguese Literature, University of Coimbra and Katholieke Univer- siteit Leuven, Belgium "Having read Julieta Rodrigues's first collection of short stories, On the Way to Red Square, which impressed me by their brilliantly raw and yet delicate fictional atmos- phere, I must confess that this second collection does not in any way fall short. The psychological depth of her characters, the skillful manipulation of narrative, the inter- twining of detail-rich plots, are all superb portrayals of the idiosyncrasies of the Portuguese. Each story is a magnif- icent revelation, a splendid encounter demanding to be read in a single breath." ―Salvato Teles de Menezes, President of Funda o D. Lu s I, Cascais. Author and literary critic
