Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Dreams," Olive Schreiner presents a rich tapestry of symbolic and allegorical narratives that delve into the complexities of the human psyche, aspirations, and societal constraints. Written in a stream-of-consciousness style, the book is imbued with Schreiner's characteristic empathy and keen observational insight. It offers readers a profound exploration of the dreams and subconscious desires that shape individual identity, all while contextualizing these personal narratives within the broader socio-political landscape of late 19th-century South Africa. This introspective work reflects Schreiner's engagement with contemporary philosophical discourses, as she seeks to unravel the intricate interplay between personal dreams and collective reality. Olive Schreiner, an influential figure in the early feminist movement, was driven to explore the inner lives of her characters through her own experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society. Born in a missionary family in South Africa, Schreiner's literary journey was shaped by her observations of gender inequity, colonialism, and the human condition. Her profound sense of social justice and her desire for individual freedom fuel her narratives, providing a unique perspective that resonates with readers and writers alike. "Dreams" is a compelling read for those intrigued by the exploration of consciousness and the intertwining of personal and social themes. Schreiner's eloquent prose and rich characterization invite readers to reflect on their own aspirations and the social fabric that influenced them. Ideal for scholars, feminists, and lovers of psychological literature, this book promises to inspire and provoke thoughtful reflection on the nature of dreams both personal and collective.

Ain't I a Diva? - Beyoncé and...

Kevin Allred, Cheryl Clarke

A pedagogical primer on integrating Black feminist thought, critical race studies, and America's most beloved pop star. 
 
 
 
In 2010—long before the release of Lemonade—Professor Kevin Allred created the university course "Politicizing Beyoncé" to both wide acclaim and controversy. He outlines his pedagogical philosophy in Ain't I a Diva?, exploring the process of teaching Beyoncé and what it means to use a superstar to blow up the canon. Allred brings his syllabus to life by pairing music videos and songs with historical and academic texts, and combines analysis with classroom anecdotes. Topics range from a capitalist critique of "Run the World (Girls)" to the politics of self-care found in "Flawless"; Beyoncé's art is read alongside Black feminist thinkers, including Kimberlé Crenshaw, Octavia Butler, and Sojourner Truth. 
 
 
 
Interrogating the entertainer's career through a media studies lens, Allred attests that pop culture is so much more than a guilty pleasure—it's an access point for education, entertainment, critical inquiry, and politics.

Shadows into Light - A...

Theresa S. Betancourt, Moses Zombo

During the civil war that ravaged Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002, an estimated 20,000 children were forced to join the fighting. As villages were raided and youths rounded up, it was not uncommon for a child to be ordered to kill a friend, relative, or neighbor. The goal was to make it impossible for the captives to return home and be accepted back into their communities. 
 
 
 
But when the conflict ended, many of the children did find their way home. Theresa Betancourt and her collaborators in Sierra Leone launched a study of more than 500 boys and girls who had been pulled into the war, tracking them for over two decades. The results were surprising: despite everything they had suffered, this was not a lost generation. In fact, the most dominant trend was one of healing and increasing acceptance. The lives of the former child soldiers were shaped not just by their personal ordeals but also by the responses of their families, peers, and communities. Shadows into Light describes heartbreak and despair but also remarkable triumphs. 
 
 
 
Betancourt's study provides insight into the long-term psychological and developmental effects of family separation, war, and exposure to violence. The lessons go beyond Sierra Leone's tragedy, suggesting that we should think of children's risk and resilience more as products of the post-trauma environment than as individual traits.

The Kingdom of the Isles -...

R. Andrew McDonald

This study explores the history of the western seaboard of Scotland (the Hebrides, Argyll and the Isle of Man) in a formative but often neglected era: the central middle ages, from the mightly Somerled to his descendant John MacDonald, the first Lord of the Isles (c. 1336).
Drawing on a variety of sources, this very readable narrative deals with three major and closely interrelated themes: first, the existence of the Isles and coastal mainland as a kingdom from c.1100 to 1266; second, the rulers of the region, Somerled and his descendants, the MacDougalls, MacDonalds and MacRuaris; and third, the often complex relations among the Isles, Scotland, Norway and England. A fully rounded history emerges, which transcends national viewpoints.
While political history predominates, the changing nature of society in the isles is emphasised throughout, and separate chapters address the church and monasticism as well as the monuments – the castles, monasteries, churches and chapels that form an enduring legacy.
