Two Years In Kingston Town is the story of a married couple--Jeff, a psychologist, and Maria, a psychiatric nurse--that decide to pull up stakes and go off for a two-year sojourn as Peace Corps Volunteers in Jamaica. It tells of their struggles to adapt, what they did in their assignments at the University Hospital of the West Indies, places they visited, and people they met. Written with insight and humor, it brings to life the vibrant, colorful city of Kingston and describes places and things in Jamaica that few visitors ever see. Filled with details about Jamaican culture and customs, it also provides an inside look at Peace Corps service--its challenges and rewards. The book also contains vivid accounts of therapy with recovering addicts, and will appeal to mental health professionals with an interest in cross-cultural therapy.

Mafia III: Plain of Jars

By: Jeff Mariotte,Marsheila Rockwell

A mobster’s adopted son sees action in the Vietnam War and as a CIA operative in this pulp-fiction-inspired prequel to the hit video game. Before Lincoln Clay laid waste to New Bordeaux in his quest for vengeance against the Italian mob, he did an equally action-packed tour of Vietnam. In this authorized prequel to the hit game Mafia III, Clay learns the skills he will use back in New Bordeaux—first as an Army grunt, then as a Special Forces soldier running covert ops for the CIA. Featuring characters and locations from the game and a brand-new, original storyline full of intrigue, passion, and suspense, Mafia III: Plain of Jars is a great read for fans of the game and crime genre hounds looking for more of the Mafia world to explore.

Voices from the Soviet Edge

Southern Migrants in Leningrad and Moscow

By: Jeff Sahadeo

Jeff Sahadeo reveals the complex and fascinating stories of migrant populations in Leningrad and Moscow. Voices from the Soviet Edge focuses on the hundreds of thousands of Uzbeks, Tajiks, Georgians, Azerbaijanis, and others who arrived toward the end of the Soviet era, seeking opportunity at the privileged heart of the USSR. Through the extensive oral histories Sahadeo has collected, he shows how the energy of these migrants, denigrated as "Blacks" by some Russians, transformed their families' lives and created inter-republican networks, altering society and community in both the center and the periphery of life in the "two capitals." Voices from the Soviet Edge connects Leningrad and Moscow to transnational trends of core-periphery movement and marks them as global cities. In examining Soviet concepts such as "friendship of peoples" alongside ethnic and national differences, Sahadeo shows how those ideas became racialized but could also be deployed to advance migrant aspirations. He exposes the Brezhnev era as a time of dynamism and opportunity, and Leningrad and Moscow not as isolated outposts of privilege but at the heart of any number of systems that linked the disparate regions of the USSR into a whole. In the 1980s, as the Soviet Union crumbled, migration increased. These later migrants were the forbears of contemporary Muslims from former Soviet spaces who now confront significant discrimination in European Russia. As Sahadeo demonstrates, the two cities benefited from 1980s' migration but also became communities where racism and exclusion coexisted with citizenship and Soviet identity.
