![]() Hidskes’ book and a comparable publication by Anton Stolwijk, both published in 2016, are remarkably effective examples of this. In the Netherlands, the renewed focus on the colonial era is educating a new generation about the nation’s dark imperial past. Public interest in these colonial era killings in both countries has been revived by the successful court cases brought by victims of the West Java Rawagede village and South Sulawesi atrocities committed by Dutch forces, and subsequent Dutch government apologies in relation to them. ![]() The major research project and publications emerging from it, involves both Dutch and Indonesian researchers, and was itself triggered by a series of Indonesian initiated court cases. In the past decade there has been a flow of publications reviewing Dutch imperial rule in Indonesia emanating from a major Dutch government funded research project into the 1945 – 1949 Indonesian War of Independence. In this Indonesian context, Hidskes’ very personal account of the ‘South Sulawesi Affair’, as it has come to be known, came to look more like a painful personal confession of national guilt. It was an emotional experience for both author and audience. In late 2018, Maarten Hidskes launched the Indonesian translation of his Dutch language book, Thuis geloofd niemand mij ( At home no one will believe me), at Makassar’s Hasanu’ddin University. ![]() ![]() Garbes contends that while the labor of raising children is devalued in America, the act of mothering offers the radical potential to create a more equitable society. A first-generation Filipino-American, Garbes shares the perspective of her family's complicated relationship to care work, placing mothering in a global context-the invisible economic engine that has been historically demanded of women of color. In Essential Labor, Garbes explores assumptions about care, work, and deservedness, offering a deeply personal and rigorously reported look at what mothering is, and can be. In response to the increasing weight placed on mothers and caregivers-and the lack of a social safety net to support them-writer Angela Garbes found herself pondering a vital question: How, under our current circumstances that leave us lonely, exhausted, and financially strained, might we demand more from American family life? The Covid-19 pandemic shed fresh light on a long-overlooked truth: mothering is among the only essential work humans do. ![]() From the acclaimed author of Like a Mother comes a reflection on the state of caregiving in America, and an exploration of mothering as a means of social change. ![]() ![]() ![]() Out of all the romances I’ve read this year, they may be the couple I shipped the hardest. The snark between Nora and Charlie is perfect. What I absolutely loved were the upside-down tropes – they were just written so perfectly, Nora’s self-awareness of them made everything work, and it was fantastic. What a weirdo haha But I could appreciate her genuine love for her home nonetheless. ![]() These people literally make zero sense to me – just… why? So I did have trouble getting over the way Nora just literally LOVES the city and LOVES living in the city and can’t imagine anything else. I feel like I have to add the caveat that literally I don’t understand city people, or people who think cities are amazing, or people who want to hang out in cities for more than like, an hour, much less live in them. However, even though it wasn’t my new most favoritest read ever, I did really enjoy this one and snorted with laughter on multiple occasions. I really enjoyed Henry’s book Beach Read,but felt quite meh about People We Meet on Vacation(still not over how annoying the main character of that one was), so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up Book Lovers.

Kindred takes some creative liberties with the story, making some significant detours that are not entirely faithful to their cherished text. ![]() And Kindred - which blends time travel, historical fiction, and a love story when a (then) modern-day Black woman is inexplicably whisked back and forth from her California home to a plantation in the year 1815 - is a pioneering work so revered that it’s still taught in college lit classes and has inspired enough scholarship, essays, and critical analysis to fill a whole library.įans of the book may need to find ways to soothe themselves then when the eight episodes drop on Hulu on December 13. Their anxieties were certainly understandable: Butler is considered the first Black writer to find success in the sci-fi genre. Butler’s Kindred was being adapted into a TV series for FX, fans of the 1979 novel seemed as hopeful and excited as they were territorial - glad Butler’s work was finally reaching screens but fiercely protective and adamant that nobody screw it up. ![]() ![]() ![]() The writing is lucent and the plot enthralling, but perhaps most impressive is how the author creates and sustains a rare feeling in the reader of really living among the characters.” - Morning Star
