Feinberg, Margaret
"God's Power in Me is an interactive 52-day devotional that encourages young readers 8-12 to break free from negative thinking and focus on the positive truths of who God made them to be. Through daily devotions paired with a 90-second affirmation kids can say aloud every day, readers will grow closer to God and learn to challenge the personal doubts that might be holding them back. I'm not good enough. I don't deserve to be their friend. And things will never change.

Throughout the devotions in God's Power in Me, kids will discover quick daily affirmations they can hold on to, biblical teachings, and practical applications for their own lives, Inspiration to banish any negative thoughts and ideas they may have, and encouragement to stand in their own truths while also growing closer to God in the process"--

Las genealogías

Margo Glantz
At the heart of this brilliant and colourful Mexican novel lies the search for a family history. Using ancestral recollections, flashbacks through history, and personal memory, the author traces her family roots from pre-Revolutionary Russia to contemporary Mexico. Margo Glantz's Mexico is a mysterious world - a cultural carnival where Flash Gordon crosses paths with Columbus: a Mexico of Diego Rivera, Leon Trotsky and Frida Kahlo, hijacked by Dracula and King Kong, filled with the aromas of a kosher bakery and the echoes of jokes, some corny, some not.

Marguerite Wildenhain: a diary to Franz

Wildenhain, Marguerite
This is a new, revealing book about the psychological life of a well-known French-born American potter named Marguerite Wildenhain, who was one of the first students at the Weimar Bauhaus. One of the major reasons for the book's significance is that virtually everything in it has not been previously published. As the Nazis came to power, Wildenhain (a French citizen, of Jewish ancestry) was forced to move from Germany to Holland and then, in 1940, to the U.S., but her husband (a German citizen) was denied a visa. As a result, the Wildenhains were physically separated for seven years, and, during the first months of that period, had no contact of any kind. So Marguerite did not know her husband's whereabouts, nor even if he had survived (as it turned out, he had been forced to join the German Army). During part of that time (especially as she traveled slowly across the U.S., en route to California), she made drawings and letter-like entries to Franz in a diary of sorts. This book is the first publication of those pages, with her text translated into English. Throughout, her words are supplemented by wonderfully rich illustrations (vintage drawings and photographs, examples of her pottery, specimens from their rock collection, and a suite of commemorative woodblock prints by Luther's David Kamm). A conspicuous highlight is a stunning sepia photograph of a beautiful and exquisitely dressed Marguerite in 1929. The richness of her diary is largely because of her candor in describing what and who she meets. Artists, designers, art historians, women's studies scholars, and historians in general will find this book of value. In addition, any readers who have been in love, or married to someone from whom they've become separated, for whatever reason, should find themselves drawn into the painful details of the text.

Women and citizenship

Marilyn Friedman
The notion of citizenship is complex; it can be at once an identity; a set of rights, privileges, and responsibilities; an elevated and exclusionary status, a relationship between individual and state, and more. In recent decades citizenship has attracted interdisciplinary attention, particularly with the transnational growth of Western capitalism. Yet citizenship's relationship to gender has gone relatively unexplored--despite the globally pervasive denial of citizenship to women, historically and in many places, ongoing today. This highly interdisciplinary volume explores the political and cultural dimensions of citizenship and their relevance to women and gender. Containing essays by a well-known group of scholars, including Iris Marion Young, Alison Jaggar, Martha Nussbaum, and Sandra Bartky, this book examines the conceptual issues and strategies at play in the feminist quest to give women full citizenship status. The contributors take a fresh look at the issues, going beyond conventional critiques, and examine problems in the political and social arrangements, practices, and conditions that diminish women's citizenship in various parts of the world.

Unauthorized voices: essays on poets and poetry, 1987-2009

Hacker, Marilyn
Praise for Marilyn Hacker: "How piercing the duet we're offered between Marilyn Hacker and the reality principle. Reality saying, it’s impossible, something's always sacrificed: you can't be so merry and so raw; so learned and earthy; so gut-wrenching, so danceable at once. Can you? To which, steadily, the voice of Marilyn Hacker: Yes. Evidently; Evidently so." ---Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, author of Epistemology of the Closet and Touching Feeling "Hacker is one of our best singers---by turns elegiac and fierce, sweet and witty. With each new collection her voice grows richer, more resonant, sorrowing and lovely." ---Julia Alvarez, author of In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents "Marilyn Hacker joins a marvelous facility with poetic forms to a shockingly intense sensuality. Not unlike Baudelaire, you might say, and indeed like him, she shares a taste for excess, drink, Paris, women, crowds. 'Enivrez-vous!' Baudelaire ordered his readers, and Marilyn Hacker has taken his advice seriously." ---Edmund White, author of Hotel de Dream, City Boy , and Le Flâneur "Everything is thrilling and true, fast and witty, deep and wise; her vitality is the pulse of life itself." ---Derek Mahon, author of Harbour Lights and An Autumn Wind A volume in the Poets on Poetry series, which collects critical works by contemporary poets, gathering together the articles, interviews, and book reviews by which they have articulated the poetics of a new generation. For over twenty years, award-winning poet, translator, and editor Marilyn Hacker has been writing incisive criticism and reviews of contemporary poetry, with particular attention to the work of feminist poets, poets of color, and any poets whose work she judged worthy of more attention from the American (and sometimes British) reading public. Unauthorized Voices is Hacker’s first collection of critical prose, bringing together her essays on American, British, Irish, and French poets. It includes pieces on Adrienne Rich, Hayden Carruth, Elizabeth Bishop, Tony Harrison, Marilyn Nelson, and June Jordan; on French and Francophone poets including Vénus Khoury-Ghata and Guy Goffette; on poetry and politics; and on the contemporary sonnet, all affirming Hacker as a lively, unabashedly opinionated American critical voice. Marilyn Hacker is the author of twelve books of poems, most recently Names and Essays on Departure , and of ten collections of poetry translated from the French, including Marie Étienne's King of a Hundred Horsemen , recipient of the 2009 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation. She has been the recipient of the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, two Lambda Literary Awards, and the National Book Award for her own poetry and is a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.

Istanbul was a fairy tale

Levi, Mario
In his unique and lyrical style, Mario Levi captures the city of Istanbul and its storied past with a rare intimacy and humor. A major work of contemporary Turkish literature, Istanbul Was a Fairy Tale tells the stories of three generations of a Jewish family from the 1920s to the 1980s. Istanbul is their only home, and yet they live in a state of alienation, isolating themselves from the world around them. As witness, observer, and protagonist, the narrator—at once inside and outside of his story—records their many tales, as well as those of their friends and neighbors, creating an expansive mosaic of characters, each doing their best to survive the twentieth century.

The making of the Jewish middle class: women, family, and identity in imperial Germany

Kaplan, Marion A.
Describes the life of Jewish middle-class women in Wilhelmine Germany. Pp. 148-152, "Anti-Semitism in the University, " state that until about 1905 women students, discriminated against because of their sex, tended to show solidarity by forming organizations open to all, in contrast to the segregated male students' organizations. Russian Jewish women were especially despised, even by German Jewish male students. Pp. 182-185 describe discrimination against Jewish teachers, noting that their chances of employment were highly limited. See also the index under "Anti-Semitism."

Sargazo: Sargasso : poems

Agosín, Marjorie
This collection reflects the author's deeply rooted passion for nature, for life, and for being. Agosín spent her summers at the Chilean seaside, near Neruda's home at Isla Negra. "The sea, the rocks, marine images became important elements in my creative work," she said recently. Here she creates a world where everything touches the sea and is, in turn, touched by it, a world peopled by those who "carry the scents of the river and the sign of water." "Agosín's voice [is] ripe with sensuality."-- Booklist
