Sinossi

Diaspora Cultural Effects explores how the movement of people across borders reshapes cultural landscapes, challenging traditional views of cultural purity. The book examines diasporas not as displaced populations longing for a homeland, but as active agents in creating new cultural forms. For example, diasporas often contribute significantly to arts, literature, and culinary traditions, fostering innovation and hybridity. The study of diaspora cultural effects is essential for understanding identity formation, social cohesion, and the evolution of cultural norms in our interconnected world.

 
The book systematically progresses from foundational theories, such as transnationalism and hybridity, to case studies across various regions and historical periods. It highlights the cultural contributions of diasporas, emphasizing their agency and creativity. By drawing on diverse evidence, including ethnographic research and oral histories, the book offers unique perspectives that challenge dominant narratives. This approach provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and anyone interested in the complexities of globalization, cultural diversity, and diaspora cultural heritage.

A Rare Recording of Gertrude...

Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 - July 27, 1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and Henri Matisse, would meet. The following three recordings are from Stein's novel, The Making of Americans (1925), and her poems, How She Bowed to her Brother (1931) and If I Told Him - A Completed Portrait of Picasso (1923)

The Monsters We Make - Murder...

Rachel Corbett

A riveting work of true crime that tells the strange story of criminal profiling from Victorian times to our own.
Criminal profiling—the delicate art of collecting and deciphering the psychological “fingerprints” of the monsters among us—holds an almost mythological status in pop culture. But what exactly is it, does it work, and why is the American public so entranced by it? What do we gain, and endanger, from studying why people commit murder? In The Monsters We Make, author Rachel Corbett explores how criminal profiling became one of society’s most seductive and quixotic undertakings through five significant moments in its history.
Corbett follows Arthur Conan Doyle through the London alleyways where Jack the Ripper butchered his victims, depicts the tailgate outside of Ted Bundy’s execution, and visits the remote Montana cabin where Ted Kaczynski assembled his antiestablishment bombs. Along the way emerge the people who studied and unraveled these cases. We meet self-taught psychologist Henry Murray, who profiled Adolf Hitler at the request of the U.S. government and later profiled his own students—including the future Unabomber—by subjecting them to cruel humiliation experiments. We also meet the prominent Yale psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis, who ended up testifying that Bundy was too sick to stand trial. Finally, Corbett takes the story into our own time, explaining the rise of modern “predictive policing” policies through a study of one Florida family that the analytics targeted—to devastating effects.
With narrative intrigue and deft research, Corbett delves deep into the mythology and reality of criminal profilers, revealing how thin the line can be separating those who do harm and those who claim to stop it.
“Corbett [is] a gifted storyteller … A highly readable, endlessly revealing primer on the homicidal mind.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
