Sinopse

Brendan Behan wrote over one hundred articles for Irish newspapers between 1951 and 1956 as he rose to international fame, with most of them written in a weekly column in the Irish Press. The articles reveal a serious writer capable of great comic set pieces and amusing yarns as well as thoughtful reflections on cultural and historical issues. They reflect his passion for working-class Dublin life and the history and folklore of the city, as well as his travels in Ireland and Europe.


This edition gathers all the articles and essays that Behan published in newspapers from 1951 to his death in 1964. Selections of Behan's articles have been published since his death (Hold Your Hour and Have Another, 1965; After the Wake, 1981; The Dubbalin Man, 1997). However, there has been no complete edition of Behan's prose, and no edition has provided a detailed biographical and literary introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading. This volume is intended for publication during the centenary celebrations of Behan's birth in 2023, with his birthday being 9 February.

    Go back to where you came from, you terrorist! 
     
    This is just one of the many warm, lovely, and helpful tips that Wajahat Ali and other children of immigrants receive on a daily basis. Go back where, exactly? Fremont, California, where he grew up, but now an unaffordable place to live? Or  
    Pakistan, the country his parents left behind a half-century ago? 
     
    While living the American Dream, young Wajahat devoured comic books (devoid of brown superheroes) and fielded well-intentioned advice from uncles and aunties (“Become a doctor!”). He had turmeric stains under his fingernails, was  
    accident-prone, suffered from OCD, and wore Husky pants. That is, he was as American as his neighbors, with roots all over the world. Then, while Ali was studying at University of California, Berkeley, 9/11 happened. Muslims replaced  
    Communists as America’s enemy #1, and he became an accidental spokesman and ambassador of all ordinary, unthreatening things Muslim-y. 
     
    Now a middle-aged dad, Ali has become one of the foremost and funniest public intellectuals in America. In Go Back to Where You Came From, he tackles the dangers of Islamophobia, white supremacy, and chocolate hummus, peppering  
    personal stories with astute insights into national security, immigration, and pop culture. In this refreshingly bold, hopeful, and uproarious memoir, Ali offers indispensable lessons for cultivating a more compassionate, inclusive, and delicious America.

    A national Bestseller 
    In 1988, South Africa teeters on the brink of chaos. Seventeen-year-old Bradley Steyn crosses Pretoria’s Strijdom Square and walks into a nightmare: Barend Strydom, the white supremacist ‘Wit Wolf,’ massacres black bystanders during their lunch break. Bradley cradles a dying man, confronting the insanity of a nation unraveling. Haunted by PTSD, consumed by rage, he spirals—until his parents send him to the SA Navy. There, the apartheid regime’s Security Branch recruits him as a classified enforcer to ‘fight Communism.’ But the underground ANC’s Department of Intelligence and Security (DIS) has other plans, pulling him into their fold. 
    As FW de Klerk rises, the ANC is unbanned, and Nelson Mandela walks free, a sinister Third Force—neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the deep state—schemes to ignite a race war. With South Africa’s future at stake, Bradley goes undercover for the DIS to thwart a plot to assassinate Mandela at his inauguration. Racing against time, can he unravel the extremists’ plan before they discover he’s one of Mandela’s spies? This gripping true-life thriller unveils secrets of a dirty war and holds up a historical mirror, revealing how to resist an authoritarian, weaponised political regime today.
