Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What elevates 'teaching my mother how to give birth', what gives the poems their disturbing brilliance, is Warsan Shire's ability to give simple, beautiful eloquence to the veiled world where sensuality lives in the dominant narrative of Islam; reclaiming the more nuanced truths of earlier times - as in Tayeb Salih's work - and translating to the realm of lyric the work of the likes of Nawal El Saadawi. As Rumi said, 'Love will find its way through all languages on its own'; in 'teaching my mother how to give birth', Warsan's début pamphlet, we witness the unearthing of a poet who finds her way through all preconceptions to strike the heart directly. Warsan Shire is a Kenyan-born Somali poet and writer who is based in London. Born in 1988, she is an artist and activist who uses her work to document narratives of journey and trauma. Warsan has read her work internationally, including recent readings in South Africa, Italy and Germany, and her poetry has been translated into Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Nieuw licht op de vijf wandvullende schilderingen, of geschilderde kamer, van Ferdinand Bol.Ferdinand Bol vervaardigde rond 1660 een ensemble van vijf wandvullende schilderingen. Deze studie werpt nieuw licht op deze bijzondere geschilderde kamer. De herkomst en betekenis van de schilderijenreeks was tot nu toe met raadselen omgeven en kon bij eerder kunsthistorisch onderzoek niet worden opgelost. De recente restauratie van de schilderijen bood de mogelijkheid materiaaltechnisch onderzoek te verrichten. De auteur koppelt de resultaten van dit 'forensisch' sporenonderzoek aan archief-, stilistisch, iconografisch en cultuurhistorisch onderzoek. Deze geïntegreerde aanpak maakt het mogelijk de oorspronkelijke locatie en de opdrachtgever van de reeks te achterhalen: een schatrijke strenggereformeerde weduwe uit Utrecht die de schilderijen geleidelijk aan heeft besteld. - Margriet van Eikema Hommes is kunsthistoricus en werkzaam als senior onderzoeker bij de Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This highly praised book undertakes an in-depth case study of contemporary protests to illustrate not only the challenges to building civil society in Jamaica but also the requirement for the current scholarship to reconcile its moral and thematic ambivalence. It is an important book for collections in political science, sociology, anthropology, and media studies/communications, especially given the increasing interest in understanding popular protests, violent social movements, resistance cultures as well as radical political culture, democracy and civil society across the developing and developed world. The book will also hold wide appeal among policy makers, political actors, activists, civil society practitioners, and specialists in international development as a result of its strong focus on civil society. This will also be an excellent text for undergraduate students and above, particular those studying international relations.
