The MomShift

Women Share their Stories of Career Success After Having Children

By: Reva Seth

The MomShift is the first book to exclusively research and showcase the stories of a diverse range of relatable women who share the multitude of ways in which they achieved greater career success after starting their families. Women are regularly told that having children will hurt their careers--until now. In The MomShift, Reva Seth talked to over 500 mothers from a broad range of professional and personal backgrounds who have defied cultural expectations and achieved greater professional success after starting their families. For these women and others like them, having children actually enhanced their work life: by helping them prioritize and set bigger goals, inspiring them to work harder and smarter or even spurring them to start their own businesses. As Rebecca Woolf--of Girl's Gone Child blog fame--puts it, "Motivation, thy name is parenthood." But as Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook has pointed out, when an already busy women starts thinking about having a child, she frequently steps back from her career goals, unable to picture how her already busy life will accommodate children. Enter The MomShift, which covers areas such as how much we really need to "lean in," whether there's a "best time" to have a baby, the benefits of re-framing maternity leave, ambition, financial concerns, the changing nature of careers, and whether work/life balance really exists for working mothers. Each chapter has discussion questions to keep the conversation going and the ideas percolating. The result is a reassuring, supportive and inspirational resource that emphasizes there is no one right way to balance careers and family, and that illustrates the many choices women have today. The MomShift is an invaluable career companion brimming with motivation, tips and ideas to help each woman to create her own version of career success during the often hectic but highly productive "mom" years.

After the Wedding

A Lloyd and Lori Mystery

By: Reva Spiro Luxenberg

The wedding that takes place in the ballroom of the 5-star Palm Tree Hotel in Key West is upended when Flora, the bride, is murdered in the bridal suite. The groom, Mark Morris, a physical therapist, is arrested by the sheriff. Meanwhile, Lloyd, the bartender, and Lori, his wife and concierge, set out to clear Mark, who is in deeper trouble than he’s ever known. Lloyd and Lori suspect that the killer may be one of the people who visited Flora after the wedding—maybe the stepmother, or one or both of her twin sisters, or her first cousin, or, possibly, the chambermaid. Mark is prosecuted in a lengthy courtroom trial for the murder of his wife. Lloyd and Lori race against time to identify the killer before the jury would render a guilty decision for a crime the defendant didn’t commit.

The Bumbling Bigamist

A Sadie Weinstein Mystery

By: Reva Spiro Luxenberg

Sadie Weinstein runs a mom-and-pop grocery in Brooklyn in 1969 with her husband, Nathan. A quirky amateur detective, she persists in solving a murder that takes place when she is present at a home in Staten Island. The murdered victim is a bigamist who had two wives, and possibly more, in different far-removed locations. She tracks down suspects from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and as far away as Biloxi, Mississippi. Sadie is a suspect herself and must solve the mystery to clear her name. Nathan warns her constantly not to stick her neck out, but she is undeterred. Her charming pickle-eating customer and psychic Rhajmah has revealing visions. The excitement mounts in Biloxi during the savage onslaught of Hurricane Camille. The story involves anguish, but Sadies antics and repartees lighten tension. This is a gripping Sadie Weinstein mystery, Luxenbergs fourth.

Discomfort Food

The Culinary Imagination in Late Nineteenth-Century French Art

By: Marni Reva Kessler

An intricate and provocative journey through nineteenth-century depictions of food and the often uncomfortable feelings they evoke At a time when chefs are celebrities and beautifully illustrated cookbooks, blogs, and Instagram posts make our mouths water, scholar Marni Reva Kessler trains her inquisitive eye on the depictions of food in nineteenth-century French art. Arguing that disjointed senses of anxiety, nostalgia, and melancholy underlie the superficial abundance in works by Manet, Degas, and others, Kessler shows how, in their images, food presented a spectrum of pleasure and unease associated with modern life. Utilizing close analysis and deep archival research, Kessler discovers the complex narratives behind such beloved works as Manet’s Fish (Still Life) and Antoine Vollon’s Internet-famous Mound of Butter. Kessler brings to these works an expansive historical review, creating interpretations rich in nuance and theoretical implications. She also transforms the traditional paradigm for study of images of edible subjects, showing that simple categorization as still life is not sufficient. Discomfort Food marks an important contribution to conversations about a fundamental theme that unites us as humans: food. Suggestive and accessible, it reveals the very personal, often uncomfortable feelings hiding within the relationship between ourselves and the representations of what we eat.

‘Labour Class’ Children’s Schooling in Urban India

A Sociological Account

By: Reva Yunus

Drawing upon classroom ethnography and interviews with parents and pupils in urban central India, this book offers systematic sociological analyses of childhood, labour and schooling in postcolonial, post-liberalisation India. It combines insights from economic sociology, political economy and feminist critiques of capitalism, caste patriarchy and globalisation to theorise the relationship between educational experience and socioeconomic inequalities. It unpacks poverty as a structural condition shaped by class and caste relations, thus offering a vital intervention in dominant development discourses centring on the relationship between poverty and poor children’s schooling in the global South. Unravelling the interplay of poverty, caste patriarchy and shifts in the gendered division of reproductive labour, it challenges both the ‘girl effect’ narrative as well as the ‘school/labour’ binary. It offers insights into ‘labour class’ families’ experience of urban informal work, enabling a critical account of the gendered place of school in children’s lives and rendering visible poor parents’ and pupils’ efforts to ensure educational success. Thick descriptions of pedagogic and disciplinary processes and social relations in the classroom allow it to grapple with teachers’ ‘deficit view’ of the labour class as well as the impact of stratified schooling on teachers’ working conditions and teacher-pupil relations. The book presents a rare account of teenaged children’s gendered modes of negotiation of social relations at school and home, waged and unwaged work, economic and educational deprivation and pedagogic practices in the classroom. It will appeal to scholars interested in the sociology of education and childhood, gender and caste inequalities, international development, poverty and urban informal work.

Genesis According to Methuselah

Genesis According to Methuselah

By: Reva Spiro Luxenberg

Methuselah, the oldest person who has ever lived, goes on a quest for truth, expanding the Bible with humor. He writes, My best marriage was to Sheilabenautumn, a living doll. I called her She. She called me Meth Honey. But I suffered from the neighbors evil gossip. I was 603, and She was a mere 133. The neighbors said I had robbed the cradle. The author, with tongue in cheek, traces the world of Adam and Eve, Noah, and the patriarchs through Methuselahs eyes and ears in a style that is a mock modernization of the terminology in the Bible. For example, God named the first man Adam and said, Live long and prosper. When Eve became overweight, Adam couldnt understand why. She explained, I think theres a person inside of me because I feel kicking in my stomach. I dont know from which orifice he will come out. This is a new version of the Bible that will cause readers to laugh aloud.
