Der elfjährige Tarek ist mit seiner Mutter Ghaydaa 1967 im Flüchtlingscamp Harir gestrandet. Palästina ist nicht weit, aber unerreichbar, so wie sein Vater. Zwischen Zelten und improvisierten Behausungen haben sich die Erwachsenen im Wartezustand eingerichtet. Der Junge hasst die Enge, den blöden Lehrer, das schleimige Essen – und die Geduld der anderen. Als eine ältere Frau ihm erzählt, sie sei schon über 20 Jahre im Camp, reift sein Entschluss auszubrechen. Er will nach Hause, zu seinem Vater, haut ab, findet den Weg in ein Rebellencamp. Tarek ist nur halb so gross wie die coolen Männer mit Bärten und langen Haaren, Waffen und PLO-Tüchern, die rebellische Musik hören und entschlossen sind zu kämpfen. Als Ghaydaa Tarek endlich findet, zwingt sie erst nur die Dickköpfigkeit ihres Sohnes, selbst auch zu bleiben. Doch das Verhältnis der Mutter zu ihrem Sohn verändert sich mit jedem Tag im Camp, wo die beiden spüren, dass eine Zeit des Aufbruchs begonnen hat, nicht nur in Jordanien und Palästina. Annemarie Jacir (Salt of this sea) erzählt von den Fähigkeiten eines Kindes, Erwachsene daran zu hindern, sich mit etwas abzufinden, wenn es doch Hoffnung auf Veränderungen gibt.

From New Yorker and Onion writer and comedian Blythe Roberson, How to Date Men When You Hate Men is a comedy philosophy book aimed at interrogating what it means to date men within the trappings of modern society. Blythe Roberson's sharp observational humor is met by her open-hearted willingness to revel in the ugliest warts and shimmering highs of choosing to live our lives amongst other humans. She collects her crushes like ill cared-for pets, skewers her own suspect decisions, and assures readers that any date you can mess up, she can top tenfold. And really, was that date even a date in the first place? With sections like Real Interviews With Men About Whether Or Not It Was A Date; Good Flirts That Work; Bad Flirts That Do Not Work; and Definitive Proof That Tom Hanks Is The Villain Of You've Got Mail, How to Date Men When You Hate Men is a one stop shop for dating advice when you love men but don't like them. "With biting wit, Roberson explores the dynamics of heterosexual dating in the age of #MeToo" - The New York Times

Can I keep up my spinning classes? Is fish safe to eat? And what’s this I hear about soft cheese? Can I work until I deliver? What are my rights on the job? I’m blotchy and broken out—where’s the glow? Should we do a gender reveal? What about a 4-D ultrasound? Will I know labor when I feel it? Your pregnancy explained and your pregnant body demystified, head (what to do about those headaches) to feet (why they’re so swollen), back (how to stop it from aching) to front (why you can’t tell a baby by mom’s bump).

Regisseur Roberto Minervini bereiste Louisiana ursprünglich, um eine Dokumentation über die Musik der 1930er Jahre zu drehen. Angesichts der omnipräsenten Gewalt gegen Schwarze änderte er seinen Plan und fokussierte sich auf einige Protagonist*innen, die er in intimen Schwarz-Weiss-Bildern zeigt. Er trifft die Barbesitzerin Judy Hill, die durch ihre Lebenserfahrungen ihre Rolle als Schwarze Frau in der US-Gesellschaft reflektiert. Er zeigt die New Black Panther Party For Self-Defense in New Orleans, die versucht, die Nachbarschaft für Protestaktionen zu mobilisieren und praktische soziale Hilfe anzubieten. Und er verbringt Zeit mit dem 14-jährigen Ronaldo, der seinen jüngeren Bruder Titus auf das Leben vorbereitet – inklusive Boxunterricht und Lektionen darüber, was es bedeutet, Schwarz zu sein. Eindringliche Portraits, die sich zu einem Bild verdichten, welche Menschen hinter der Forderung #blacklivesmatter stehen und wie ihr alltäglicher Kampf gegen den Rassismus aussieht. Der titelgebenden Lead Belly Song WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WORLD IS ON FIRE? antwortet übrigens mit den Worten: You gonna run

The 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION of the original ground-breaking book on high sensitivity with over 500,000 copies sold. ARE YOU A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON? Do you have a keen imagination and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential to you as food and water? Are you noted for your empathy? Your conscientiousness? Do noise and confusion quickly overwhelm you? If your answers are yes, you may be a highly sensitive person (HSP) and Dr. Elaine Aron’s The Highly Sensitive Person is the life-changing guide you’ll want in your toolbox. Over twenty percent of people have this amazing, innate trait. Maybe you are one of them. A similar percentage is found in over 100 species, because high sensitivity is a survival strategy. It is also a way of life for HSPs. In this 25th anniversary edition of the groundbreaking classic, Dr. Elaine Aron, a research and clinical psychologist as well as an HSP herself, helps you grasp the reality of your wonderful trait, understand your past in the light of it, and make the most of it in your future. Drawing on her many years of study and face-to-face time spent with thousands of HSPs, she explains the changes you will need to make in order to lead a fuller, richer life. Along with a new Author’s Note, the latest scientific research, and a fresh discussion of anti-depressants, this edition of The Highly Sensitive Person is more essential than ever for creating the sense of self-worth and empowerment every HSP deserves and our planet needs. “Elaine Aron has not only validated and scientifically corroborated high sensitivity as a trait—she has given a level of empowerment and understanding to a large group of the planet’s population. I thank Dr. Aron every day for her having brought this awareness to the world.” —Alanis Morissette, artist, activist, teacher

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics - English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 15 Punkte, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Department of English), course: Grammar in the english foreign language classroom, language: English, abstract: Ebonics is probably the most popular and widespread linguistic phenomena in the world today. This is mainly due to the fact that American music is a worldwide predominant cultural reality. Black American music with its inherent linguistic characteristics, by the same token, looms large within that heritage. In this paper I will commence with a description of the term ¿Ebonics¿ and some information on the scientific state of affairs concerning its origins. Then I will proceed to some phonological aspects and conclude with a short look at its grammatical structure and idiosyncrasies. African-American English, the linguistic variety spoken by many African Americans in the United States of America, is a system with specific rules for combining sounds to form words, phrases and sentences. The first researchers who took an interest in this called it ¿Non-Standard Negro English¿, ¿Negro dialect¿ or ¿American Negro speech¿. However, because of the growing objections to the term Negro, other terms had to be found ¿ parallel to the changes ¿ in referring to black people. But even though the terms ¿African-American Vernacular English¿ (AAVE), ¿Black communications¿, Black dialect¿, ¿Black English¿, ¿Black Vernacular English¿, ¿African American language¿, ¿African American English¿ and, as Stanford Afro-American Linguist John Baugh named it, ¿Black Street Speech¿ (Baugh, 1983: 11), have all been used to label this variety over the past forty years, the word ¿Ebonics¿ (a blend of ebony and phonetics that was created in 1973 by a group of black scholars) is probably the most popular one today. This essay is to be understood as a brief survey on its grammatical and linguistic features.

“The Devil Wears Prada’s Emily Charlton gets the spin-off she deserves” (Cosmopolitan) in the months-long New York Times bestseller from Lauren Weisberger in which three women team up to bring a bad man down in the tony suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut. Welcome to Greenwich, Connecticut, where the lawns and the women are perfectly manicured, the Tito’s and sodas are extra strong, and everyone has something to say about the infamous new neighbor. Let’s be clear: Emily Charlton does not do the suburbs. After leaving Miranda Priestly, she’s been working in Hollywood as an image consultant to the stars, but recently, Emily’s lost a few clients. She’s hopeless with social media. The new guard is nipping at her heels. She needs a big opportunity, and she needs it now. When Karolina Hartwell, a gorgeous former supermodel, is arrested, her fall from grace is merciless. Her senator-husband leaves her, her Beltway friends disappear, and the tabloids pounce. In Karolina, Emily finds her comeback opportunity. But she quickly learns Greenwich is a world apart and that this comeback needs a team approach. So it is that Emily, the scorned Karolina, and their mutual friend Miriam, a powerful attorney turned stay-at-home mom, band together to navigate the social land mines of suburban Greenwich and win back the hearts of the American public. Along the way, an unexpected ally emerges in one Miranda Priestly. With her signature wit, Lauren Weisberger offers an alluring look into a sexy, over-the-top world—and proves it’s style and substance together that gets the job done. “A delicious sequel to The Devil Wears Prada…exploring what it’s like to be a woman buffeted by conflicting messages about career, relationships, and motherhood” ( The Washington Post), When Life Gives You Lululemons is “amazing novel about…truth; lies and how everyone is a little bit insecure” (Associated Press). “Fast-paced; funny, and gossipy, this is the must-have accessory for your beach bag” ( PopSugar).

David Sedaris's remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this new book of stories. Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life - the etiquette of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger or how to soundproof your windows with LP covers against neurotic songbirds - to the most deeply resonant human truths. Taking in the parasitic worm that once lived in his mother-in-law's leg, an encounter with a dingo and the purchase of a human skeleton, and culminating in a brilliant account of his attempt to quit smoking - in Tokyo - David Sedaris's sixth story collection is a fresh masterpiece of comic writing.

Kaum zu glauben, dass seit dem letzten Album der Kings Of Leon schon fünf Jahre vergangen sind. Umso schöner, dass sich die US-Rock-Helden 2021 endlich mit einer neuen Platte zurückmelden. »When You See Yourself« heisst der mittlerweile achte Longplayer der Familienband, der mit Spannung erwartete Nachfolger von »Walls۫« aus dem Jahr 2016, das im UK und den USA auf Platz eins der Charts landete, in Deutschland auf der Zwei. Elf Songs haben Kings Of Leon für ihr neues Album aufgenommen. Dafür ging es in die berühmten Blackbird Studios in Nashville. Grammy-Preisträger Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Coldplay, Florence & the Machine) kümmerte sich um die Produktion. Mit der Single »The Bandit« und dem Song »100,000 People« lieferten sie bereits zwei Höreindrücke von »When You See Yourself«. Und die zeigen: Kings Of Leon haben sich ein Stück weit neu erfunden. 2021 entfernen sie sich weiter vom Southern Rock und präsentieren stattdessen einen neuen, modernen Sound, der ihnen ausgezeichnet steht.

Kaum eine Band hat das Aufbegehren einer jungen Generation so verkörpert wie The Doors. Ihre unverwechselbaren Sounds, ihr Wille zu bedingungsloser künstlerischer Freiheit, ihr Hang zu den dunklen Seiten der Seele und Jim Morrisons Exzesse inspirierten Generationen von Jugendlichen: cool, rebellisch, unsterblich. Fast 40 Jahre nach dem Tod des charismatischen Rock-Poeten Jim Morrison hat die Band nichts von Ihrer Faszination eingebüsst. Mit den bisher ungezeigten Kurzfilmen von Morrison und noch nie gesehenem Archivmaterial, das die Doors auf der Bühne, hinter der Bühne und in privaten Momenten zeigte, lässt der preisgekrönte Regisseur Tom DiCillo den Mythos „Doors“ wieder aufleben. Erzähler dieser einzigartigen Geschichte der Popkultur ist der Schauspieler Johnny Depp.

"A blisteringly funny, wrenching account of wrestling way too close to-and later loose from-booze, sex and drugs and his adorable, infuriating mother. Bravo!" -Mary Karr, New York Times bestselling author of The Liars' Club "Whoever said you can't get sober for someone else never met my mother, Mama Jean. When I came to in a Manhattan emergency room after an overdose to the news that she was on her way from Texas, I panicked. She was the last person I wanted to see on that dark September morning, but the person I needed the most." So begins this astonishing memoir-by turns both darkly comic and deeply poignant-about this native Texan's long struggle with alcohol, his complicated relationship with Mama Jean, and his sexuality. From the age of five all Brickhouse wanted was to be at a party with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other and all Mama Jean wanted was to keep him at that age, her Jamie doll forever. A Texan Elizabeth Taylor with the split personality of Auntie Mame and Mama Rose, always camera-ready and flamboyantly outspoken, Mama Jean haunted him his whole life, no matter how far away he went or how deep in booze he swam. Brickhouse's journey takes him from Texas to a high-profile career in book publishing amid New York's glamorous drinking life to his near-fatal descent into alcoholism. After Mama Jean ushers him into rehab and he ultimately begins to dig out of the hole he'd found himself in, he almost misses his chance to prove that he loves her as much as she loves him. Bitingly funny, raw, and insightful, Dangerous When Wet is the unforgettable story of a unique relationship between a son and his mother.

Essential Skills for a Full and Courageous Life When you think about personal transformation, do you have a picture of who you want to become? Many of us unconsciously create an idealized image of our "awakened" selves-and in doing so, reveals David Whyte, we undermine both the work and reward of genuine transformation. On What to Remember When Waking, this celebrated poet and teacher offers wisdom for building the essential disciplines that will see us through the difficulties of our human journey-skills of trust, vulnerability, momentum, and courage in the face of the unknown. Engage in the Great Conversation That Defines Your Life Our lives are defined by what David Whyte calls the "great conversation"-a give- and-take relationship between our vision of ourselves and the unfolding mystery of reality. Yet there are many conscious and unconscious ways that we often avoid living at this ever-moving frontier. Do you diminish life by attempting to assign names to everything instead of living more robustly with the unknown? Are you turning a blind eye to the invisible help that is all around you? With penetrating insight and gentle guidance, Whyte illuminates the core competencies that you must build in order to fully engage in the richness that life offers-and to express your true work in the world. What You Can Plan Is Too Small for You to Live "We do not always move forward because of the plans we make or the effort we expend," teaches David Whyte. "The conversation itself more often does the true work of transformation." Make sure the conversation is alive and everything takes its place. Combining a teacher's ability to provide practical guidance with a poet's insight into the depths of the human soul, he presents a powerful resource for anyone seeking growth and fulfillment on life's journey with What to Remember When Waking. Highlights: Start where you are-ways of recognizing the first necessary steps to find your path . The gift of vulnerability-why lowering our defenses can enhance our perception, dedication, and joyfulness . Disciplines for cultivating the "fierce interior focus" that helps you maintain momentum in your life's work . How embracing the feeling that you are out of place in the world can deepen your empathy and compassion for others . The art of knowing when to let your dreams mature in their own time . Beyond the "pursuit of happiness"-opening yourself to the deeper fulfillment available in the high and low points of life . Becoming an "apprentice to life"-how to approach new challenges with a sense of humility and wonder . Learning to delight in the unknown instead of trying to control it through labels and beliefs . Building a mature and welcoming relationship with death by embracing the richness that fragility brings to life . Over 5 1/2 hours of David Whyte's insights, poetry, and essential lessons for fully expressing your gifts in the world
