Summary

Literary Awards examines the significant role of international literary prizes as cultural gatekeepers, influencing global literary trends and shaping perceptions of "good" literature. These awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Booker Prize, and the Prix Goncourt, often dictate the flow of cultural capital and impact literary canons. The book reveals how factors beyond pure artistic merit, such as political considerations and market forces, affect these accolades. Did you know that these awards can act as tools of cultural diplomacy, influencing international relations through literature? The book offers a historical overview, tracing the evolution of literary prizes from national systems to global phenomena. It analyzes how post-colonialism, globalization, and the rise of a global literary market have shaped these awards. By examining specific case studies and incorporating interviews with authors and publishers, Literary Awards argues that these prizes, while powerful, are not neutral arbiters of literary quality. The book progresses from introducing key concepts like cultural capital to analyzing specific awards and discussing ethical implications, providing a comprehensive analysis of the literary awards landscape.

    Fiorello LaGuardia was one of the twentieth century's most colorful politicians—on the New York and national stage. He was also quintessentially American: the son of Italian immigrants, who rose in society through sheer will and chutzpah. Almost one hundred years later, America is once again grappling with issues that would have been familiar to the Little Flower, as he was affectionately known. It's time to bring back LaGuardia, argues historian and journalist Terry Golway, to remind us all what an effective municipal officer (as he preferred to call himself) can achieve . . .  
     
     
     
    Golway examines LaGuardia's extraordinary career through four essential qualities: As a patriot, a dissenter, a leader, and a statesman. He needed them all when he stood against the nativism, religious and racial bigotry, and reactionary economic policies of the 1920s, and again when he faced the realities of Depression-era New York and the rise of fascism at home and abroad in the 1930s. Just before World War II, the Roosevelt administration formally apologized to the Nazis when LaGuardia referred to Hitler as a "brown-shirted fanatic." 
     
     
     
    There was nobody quite like Fiorello LaGuardia. In this immensely listenable book, as entertaining as the man himself, Terry Golway captures the enduring appeal of one of America's greatest leaders.

    The traditional view of leadership has often focused on authority and power, but in the modern world, leadership is about influence, empathy, and vision. It’s about guiding others through uncertainty and inspiring change through action. The leaders we need are those who can adapt to new circumstances, challenge the status quo, and unite others in pursuit of a common goal. To nurture these qualities in young people, we must first understand what leadership truly entails in today’s world. 
    Parents and mentors are the primary sources of influence for the next generation. They hold the responsibility of laying the foundation for young minds to grow into strong, confident, and ethical leaders. While natural talent and charisma certainly play a role in leadership, the development of leadership qualities is largely a result of intentional guidance and opportunities for growth. From a young age, children must be exposed to values such as integrity, responsibility, and empathy, which are at the heart of effective leadership. 
    Leadership is not something that can be taught in a classroom alone; it is cultivated through experiences, challenges, and real-world application. Encouraging children to take initiative, make decisions, and face obstacles head-on provides them with the tools they need to become self-assured leaders. It’s also essential that they learn how to inspire and uplift those around them, as true leadership is about empowering others to succeed.

    Borders are not just meaningless geographical lines. They have an impact on all of our lives, whether it's the fallout from Brexit or the inhumanity of a detention center. In Border Nation, Leah Cowan shows how borders are violent, oppressive, and must be resisted. Looking back, we learn of the elitist, colonial, and patriarchal origins of borders, explore the vital history of anti-racist, anti-border organizing and hear stories from people who have crossed partitions. Debunking myths around migration, Leah Cowan unpacks the 'hostile environment' and reveals how healthcare crises, terrorism, unemployment, and housing shortages are often manipulated by politicians and the media to vilify migrants. As borders grow, migrants are policed, and immigration controls are tightened, this book transforms our understanding of borders, migration, and our fight for belonging.
