Synopsis

Berlin Wall explores the history of the Berlin Wall, a physical embodiment of the Cold War's ideological division between East and West. The book examines the political climate of post-World War II Germany, highlighting how the differing visions of communism and capitalism fueled the Wall's construction. Readers will gain insights into how this barrier not only divided a city but also families, severely restricting freedoms and becoming a potent symbol of oppression.

 
The book chronicles the key events and escalating crises that punctuated the Wall's existence, from Kennedy's iconic speech to daring escape attempts. It emphasizes that the Wall was more than just a physical barrier; it represented a profound ideological conflict.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with the geopolitical landscape of post-war Europe, detailing the Wall's construction in 1961, and culminating in its unexpected fall in 1989. Drawing on diverse sources, the book offers a nuanced account of the Berlin Wall's history and its lasting impact on Germany, Europe, and the world.

 
By avoiding simplistic narratives and adopting an analytical approach, Berlin Wall provides a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of the Cold War and its continuing relevance in contemporary geopolitics.

    Following the end of the First World War, Poland was wedged uncomfortably between the two dominant nations of Germany and the Soviet Union. Poland was obliged to plot and negotiate to try and prevent them from realizing their ambitions to eviscerate the country. 
     
     
     
    As well as bitter ethnic battles between Germany and Poland for the political control of Upper Silesia, there were also the burning ambitions of Weimar Germany, and later Nazi Germany, to reclaim lands incorporated into the new state of Poland at Versailles. 
     
     
     
    Despite America's initial support, the US thereafter showed little interest in Poland's predicament. While France was a traditional friend to the Polish peoples, its political influence over eastern European affairs weakened. 
     
     
     
    The emergence of Hitler and the Nazis in Germany did little to bring the countries together. This drove them further apart as the Führer ramped up his rhetorical assault on the perceived injustices of Versailles. 
     
     
     
    London and Paris found themselves in the disagreeable position of seeing no option but to throw their whole weight behind the integrity of the Polish state if they were ever going to make any sort of stand against Nazi aggression.

    Essential Labor - Mothering as...

    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. 
    The Covid-19 pandemic shed fresh light on a long-overlooked truth: mothering is among the only essential work humans do. 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?  
    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. 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.  
    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. In Essential Labor, Garbes reframes the physically and mentally draining work of meeting a child's bodily and emotional needs as opportunities to find meaning, to nurture a deeper sense of self, pleasure, and belonging. This is highly skilled labor, work that impacts society at its most foundational level. 
    Part galvanizing manifesto, part poignant narrative, Essential Labor is a beautifully rendered reflection on care that reminds us of the irrefutable power and beauty of mothering.
