There

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

There follows a young American journalist working in the capital city of the northern Kurdish region of Iraq, a land verging on economic boom, but never far from a violent past. A cross-genre work that most closely resembles a novel, the story is at once driven and diverted by the young reporter’s struggles to negotiate her own uncertainties in a strange land — observing, participating, and retreating daily from the people and events surrounding her. Assigned reports that the newspaper bosses deem fit for an inexperienced female foreigner, she ultimately turns to writing her own story, relayed with careful attention to the intricacies of language — rhythm, acoustics, and repletion. What she discovers is that her own in-betweenness is only amplified in this foreign place, that the tension between ancient customs and contemporary conflicts somehow provides a familiar backdrop for her own attempts to relate to the people back home who, confused by her choice to travel to a dangerous place, ask, “why go there?”

Porcelain

He Calls Me Harp Series

By: Heather White Driscoll

Harper Pierce’s life is perfect, at least according to her husband, Scott. She takes care of herself, she is educated, and she has a remarkable career that Scott would argue is more impressive than his own, even though he is a well-known professional athlete. Together, Harper and Scott remain private, guarded, and reserved while living in an upper-floor condominium overlooking the Boston Harbor. But life hasn’t always been perfect. Both are keenly aware of the limitations within their marriage that Scott has always accommodated and adapted to when needed. Although neither speaks of these limitations, both are keenly aware of their existence. Now with Scott’s retirement and their landmark anniversary on the horizon, his willingness to adapt begins to show its limits as the tangled demons from their tiny island seep in and threaten to take hold. As their marriage begins to show its cracks, will they find a way to become closer or will everything they have built together shatter like fragile porcelain? Porcelain continues the tale of Scott and Harper Pierce as the silence in their marriage becomes deafening and they are forced to acknowledge its existence.

Bronze

He Calls Me Harp Series

By: Heather White Driscoll

After their porcelain anniversary was left shattered, Harper and Scott live apart—Harper alone in the Seaport, and Scott in Bellevue with his nephew. But when a family wedding inevitably forces them together again, old memories and desires reignite. As the past and present collide, Harper must confront a monumental secret hidden from Scott while they appreciate the memories of who they were before and who they became after that ill-fated run on the bluff. Meanwhile, Harper becomes entangled with Thermal, a charming finance bro who lives in her building and occupies her summer days but fails to measure up to Scott as he tries to move into her summer nights. As Harper navigates her complicated feelings for Scott and examines her feelings for him, she must confront her hand in her failed marriage. But will their shared memories bring them closer or tear them apart? And what will happen when Scott learns that Harper has been keeping secrets from him—and that their past is more intertwined than he ever could’ve imagined? Bronze is a dark, loving, and passionate exploration of remembering who they were, who they became, and appreciating all the small things in between.

State Identities and the Homogenisation of Peoples

State Identities and the Homogenisation of Peoples

By: Heather Rae

Why are forced displacement, ethnic cleansing and genocide an enduring feature of state systems? In this book, Heather Rae locates these practices of 'pathological homogenisation' in the processes of state building. Political elites have repeatedly used cultural resources to redefine bounded political communities as exclusive moral communities, from which outsiders must be expelled. Showing that these practices predate the age of nationalism, Rae examines cases from both pre-nationalist and nationalist eras: the expulsion of the Jews from fifteenth century Spain, the persecution of the Huguenots under Louis XIV, and in the twentieth century, the Armenian genocide, and ethnic cleansing in former Yugoslavia. She argues that those atrocities prompted the development of international norms of legitimate state behaviour that increasingly define sovereignty as conditional. Rae concludes by examining two 'threshold' cases - the Czech Republic and Macedonia - to identify the factors that may inhibit pathological homogenization as a method of state-building.

Girlhood and the Plastic Image

By: Heather Warren-Crow

You are girlish, our images tell us. You are plastic. Girlhood and the Plastic Image explains how, revealing the increasing girlishness of contemporary media. The figure of the girl has long been prized for its mutability, for the assumed instability and flexibility of the not-yet-woman. The plasticity of girlish identity has met its match in the plastic world of digital art and cinema. A richly satisfying interdisciplinary study showing girlish transformation to be a widespread condition of mediation, Girlhood and the Plastic Image explores how and why our images promise us the adaptability of youth. This original and engaging study will appeal to a broad interdisciplinary audience including scholars of media studies, film studies, art history, and women's studies.

Rethinking Environmental Justice in Sustainable Cities

Insights from Agent-Based Modeling

By: Heather E. Campbell,Yushim Kim,Adam M. Eckerd

As the study of environmental policy and justice becomes increasingly significant in today’s global climate, standard statistical approaches to gathering data have become less helpful at generating new insights and possibilities. None of the conventional frameworks easily allow for the empirical modeling of the interactions of all the actors involved, or for the emergence of outcomes unintended by the actors. The existing frameworks account for the "what," but not for the "why." Heather E. Campbell, Yushim Kim, and Adam Eckerd bring an innovative perspective to environmental justice research. Their approach adjusts the narrower questions often asked in the study of environmental justice, expanding to broader investigations of how and why environmental inequities occur. Using agent-based modeling (ABM), they study the interactions and interdependencies among different agents such as firms, residents, and government institutions. Through simulation, the authors test underlying assumptions in environmental justice and discover ways to modify existing theories to better explain why environmental injustice occurs. Furthermore, they use ABM to generate empirically testable hypotheses, which they employ to check if their simulated findings are supported in the real world using real data. The pioneering research on environmental justice in this text will have effects on the field of environmental policy as a whole. For social science and policy researchers, this book explores how to employ new and experimental methods of inquiry on challenging social problems, and for the field of environmental justice, the authors demonstrate how ABM helps illuminate the complex social and policy interactions that lead to both environmental justice and injustice.

Loss and Cultural Remains in Performance

The Ghosts of the Franklin Expedition

By: Heather Davis-Fisch

In 1845, John Franklin's Northwest Passage expedition disappeared. The expedition left an archive of performative remains that entice one to consider the tension between material remains and memory and reflect on how substitution and surrogation work alongside mourning and melancholia as responses to loss.

Don Drummond

The Genius and Tragedy of the World's Greatest Trombonist

By: Heather Augustyn

This is a comprehensive biography of a brilliant musician who forever shaped the course of ska, reggae, and popular music worldwide, only to take the life of his lover and in so doing, destroy his career at the age of 30. In his short life Don Drummond created an enduring legacy despite poverty, class separation, mental illness, racial politics, and the exploitation of his work. The words of Drummond's childhood friends, classmates, musicians, medical staff, legal counsel, and teachers enliven this story of his "unusual mind." They recall the early days in the recording studio, playing the instrumental backup for Bob Marley and others, and the nights in the Rasta camps where musicians burned the midnight oil and more. They remember the gyrations of his lover, Margarita, the Rumba Queen, as she tantalized audiences at Club Havana; tell what happened that tragic night when Drummond stabbed Margarita four times; reveal details of the trial (delayed more than a year as Drummond was ruled mentally unfit) and offer insights into Drummond's death in a mental asylum at age 35.
