In Paris

20 Women on Life in the City of Light

By: Jeanne Damas,Lauren Bastide

If the Internet could create its version of the perfect girl, Jeanne Damas would probably be her. . . . She's nailed that French girl je ne sais quoi." --Vogue For fans of Emily in Paris: A window on the world's most stylish city, with more than 100 full-color photos and profiles of 20 diverse and inspiring Parisian women, by "the coolest, most beautiful French girl in France" (GQ) and a former editor in chief of French Elle "We've always been crazy in love with this city. . . . We love its arrogance, its clumsiness, its simplicity. And especially the women who live here." Two quintessential Parisian women--model and fashion designer Jeanne Damas and journalist Lauren Bastide--shine a spotlight on twenty real-life women of Paris, dispelling the myth that there's only one type of Parisian woman and introducing us to the city that real Parisiennes live in. They're booksellers, singers, writers, activists, and antique dealers; they live in small studios, spacious apartments, or houseboats; their ages range from fourteen to seventy . . . and all embody the effortless chic and insouciant spirit of the legendary Parisian woman. In Paris takes us into these women's lives, telling us about their careers, families, favorite nightlife spots, shopping habits, and beloved books and films. Full-color photos taken by Jeanne herself accompany charming lists of advice on the French art de vivre--from the best places to people-watch with a glass of wine after work to the perfect Parisian playlist to the ten things that a French woman would never, ever post on Instagram. Witty, elegant, and modern, In Paris is an ode to Paris through the eyes of its eternally cool women--for everyone who has ever dreamed of one day living in Paris.

Art Monsters

Unruly Bodies in Feminist Art

By: Lauren Elkin

A Must-Read: Vogue, Nylon, Chicago Review of Books, Literary Hub, Frieze, The Millions, Publishers Weekly, InsideHook, The Next Big Idea Club, “[Lauren] Elkin is a stylish, determined provocateur . . . Sharp and cool . . . [Art Monsters is] exemplary. It describes a whole way to live, worthy of secret admiration.” —Maggie Lange, The Washington Post “Destined to become a new classic . . . Elkin shatters the truisms that have evolved around feminist thought.” —Chris Kraus, author of I Love Dick and After Kathy Acker: A Literary Biography What kind of art does a monster make? And what if monster is a verb? Noun or a verb, the idea is a dare: to overwhelm limits, to invent our own definitions of beauty. In this dazzlingly original reassessment of women’s stories, bodies, and art, Lauren Elkin—the celebrated author of Flâneuse—explores the ways in which feminist artists have taken up the challenge of their work and how they not only react against the patriarchy but redefine their own aesthetic aims. How do we tell the truth about our experiences as bodies? What is the language, what are the materials, that we need to transcribe them? And what are the unique questions facing those engaged with female bodies, queer bodies, sick bodies, racialized bodies? Encompassing a rich genealogy of work across the literary and artistic landscape, Elkin makes daring links between disparate points of reference—among them Julia Margaret Cameron’s photography, Kara Walker’s silhouettes, Vanessa Bell’s portraits, Eva Hesse’s rope sculptures, Carolee Schneemann’s body art, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s trilingual masterpiece DICTEE—and steps into the tradition of cultural criticism established by Susan Sontag, Hélène Cixous, and Maggie Nelson. An erudite, potent examination of beauty and excess, sentiment and touch, the personal and the political, the ambiguous and the opaque, Art Monsters is a radical intervention that forces us to consider how the idea of the art monster might transform the way we imagine—and enact—our lives.

Power And Prejudice

The Politics And Diplomacy Of Racial Discrimination, Second Edition

By: Paul Gordon Lauren

Since it first appeared, Power and Prejudice has been hailed as a bold, pioneering work dealing with one of the central and most controversial issues of our time?the relationship between racial prejudice and global conflict. Powerfully written and based on documents from archives on several continents, this award-winning book convincingly demonstrates that the racial issue, or what W.E.B. Du Bois called ?the problem of the twentieth century,? has profoundly influenced most major developments in international politics and diplomacy.Lauren begins with a thought-provoking discussion of the heavy burden of history's pattern of conquest and slavery wherin skin color identified master and slave, conqueror and conquered. He then examines bitter twentieth-century conflicts over race, including immigration exclusion and the ?Yellow Peril,? the ?Final Solution? of the Holocaust, decolonization, the impact of the Cold War on the civil rights movement, and the global struggle against racial prejudice. In this new edition, Lauren adds dimensions about Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, exploring the racial dimensions of immigration exclusion and warfare. He contributes significant new material about international issues regarding indigenous peoples around the world, including self-determination, sovereignty, and discrimination. And finally, he examines the dramatic events surrounding the end of apartheid in South Africa.Eloquent, provocative, and informed by first-rate scholarship, the insights of this highly original work will appeal to general readers as well as to students and scholars from a broad range of disciplines.

A Paris

A Paris

By: Jeanne Damas,Lauren Bastide

It-girl au demi-million de followers, Jeanne Damas est considérée comme l’incarnation de La Parisienne. De Vogue à Marie-Claire en passant par Elle, et de New York à Paris en passant par l’Asie, les journalistes n’ont de cesse de l’interroger sur ce qui fait d’elle la nouvelle figure de la mythique Française. Ce à quoi elle répond qu’il y a autant de Parisiennes que de femmes vivant à Paris. C’est le point de départ de ce livre. Non pas essayer de décrypter pour la énième fois « La Parisienne », souvent aussi peu réelle qu’une légende peut l’être, mais faire le portrait de vingt d’entre elles, dont chacune incarne à sa manière l’élégance, la désinvolture, le charme et l’esprit de la légendaire femme de Paris. Ecrit par la journaliste et féministe Lauren Bastide (suivie par 30 000 personnes) et illustré de photos prises par Jeanne Damas, à Paris offre à lire vingt portraits de Parisiennes d’origines, d’âges, de parcours et de quartiers différents, dont les destins sont une ode à la ville qu’elles habitent et la vie qu’elles y mènent. Elles ont de 14 à 70 ans, sont réalisatrice, auteur, libraire, militante ou antiquaire, vivent dans des chambres de bonne, des appartements ou sur une péniche, et elles nous ouvrent les portes de chez elles pour nous faire sillonner Paris et découvrir leurs vies. Croqué avec grâce et talent, chaque portrait est accompagné de 4 à 6 photos en couleurs et d’annexes drôles et légères sur l’art de vivre des Parisiennes et les quartiers de la capitale, également illustrées. Les lecteurs y retrouveront de nombreuses photos de Jeanne (réunies pour la première fois dans un livre), des listes de restaurants, de boulangeries, de boutiques ou de vins, et le portrait, en pointillés, des auteurs qui y confient leur style de vie et leur amour des femmes de cette ville.
