A captivating novel of a Berlin girl on the run from the guilt of her past and the boy from Brooklyn who loves her

1955 in New York City: the city of instant coffee, bagels at Katzs Deli, and ultramodern TVs. But in a certain walk-up in Chelsea, the past is as close as the present. Rashka Morgenstern, now Rachel Perlman, came to Manhattan with her

uncle Fritz in a wave of displaced Jews who had managed to survive the horrors of war. She had hoped to find freedom from pain, in New York and in the arms of her new American husband, Aaron.

But this child of Berlin cannot outrun her guilt simply by assuming the role of American housewife, not until she can shake off the ghosts of her past. And when Uncle Fritz discovers the most shocking portrait her mother had ever painted,

sitting in a dreary midtown pawnshop, Rachels memories begin to terrorize her, forcing her to face the choices she made to stay alivechoices that might be her undoing.

From the cafés of war-torn Germany to the frantic drumbeat of 1950s Manhattan, Shadows of Berlin dramatically explores survival, guilt, redemption, and the ways in which we attempt to love and forgive across impossible divides.

Summary:

A story of queer love and working-class families, Young Mungo is the brilliant second novel from the Booker Prizewinning author of Shuggie Bain

Douglas Stuarts first novel Shuggie Bain, winner of the 2020 Booker Prize, is one of the most successful literary debuts of the century so far. Published or forthcoming in forty territories, it has sold more than one million copies worldwide. Now Stuart returns with

Young Mungo, his extraordinary second novel. Both a page-turner and literary tour de force, it is a vivid portrayal of working-class life and a deeply moving and highly suspenseful story of the dangerous first love of two young men.

Growing up in a housing estate in Glasgow, Mungo and James are born under different starsMungo a Protestant and James a Catholicand they should be sworn enemies if theyre to be seen as men at all. Yet against all odds, they become best friends as they find

a sanctuary in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds. As they fall in love, they dream of finding somewhere they belong, while Mungo works hard to hide his true self from all those around him, especially from his big brother Hamish, a local gang

leader with a brutal reputation to uphold. And when, several months later, Mungos mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in Western Scotland with two strange men whose drunken banter belies murky pasts, he will need to summon all his inner strength

and courage to try to get back to a place of safety, a place where he and James might still have a future.

Imbuing the everyday world of its characters with rich lyricism and giving full voice to people rarely acknowledged in the literary world, Young Mungo is a gripping and revealing story about the bounds of masculinity, the divisions of sectarianism, the violence faced by

many queer people, and the dangers of loving someone too much.

Title: It's Not Free Speech: Race, Democracy, and the Future of Academic Freedom

Author: Jennifer Ruth, Michael Bérubé

Narrator: David Chandler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:58:41

Language: English

Release date: 04-05-22

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Politics, Current Affairs, Political Advocacy

Summary:

How far does the idea of academic freedom extend to professors in an era of racial reckoning?

The protests of summer 2020, which were ignited by the murder of George Floyd, led to long-overdue reassessments of the legacy of racism and white supremacy in both American academe and cultural life more generally. But while universities have been willing to rename some buildings and schools or

grapple with their role in the slave trade, no one has yet asked the most uncomfortable question: Does academic freedom extend to racist professors?

It's Not Free Speech considers the ideal of academic freedom in the wake of the activism inspired by outrageous police brutality, white supremacy, and the #MeToo movement. Arguing that academic freedom must be rigorously distinguished from freedom of speech, Michael Bérubé and Jennifer Ruth

take aim at explicit defenses of colonialism and theories of white supremacytheories that have no intellectual legitimacy whatsoever. Approaching this question from two anglesone, the question of when a professor's intramural or extramural speech calls into question his or her fitness to serve, and

two, the question of how to manage the simmering tension between the academic freedom of faculty and the antidiscrimination initiatives of campus offices of diversity, equity, and inclusionthey argue that the democracy-destroying potential of social media makes it very difficult to uphold the

traditional liberal view that the best remedy for hate speech is more speech.

In recent years, those with traditional liberal ideals have had very limited effectiveness in responding to the resurgence of white supremacism in American life. It is time, Bérubé and Ruth write, to ask whether that resurgence requires us to rethink the parameters and practices of academic freedom.

Touching as well on contingent faculty, whose speech is often inadequately protected, It's Not Free Speech insists that we reimagine shared governance to augment both academic freedom and antidiscrimination initiatives on campuses. Faculty across the nation can develop protocols that

account for both the new realitiesfrom the rise of social media to the decline of tenureand the old realities of long-standing inequities and abuses that the classic liberal conception of academic freedom did nothing to address. This book will resonate for anyone who has followed debates over #MeToo,

Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, and 'cancel culture'; more specifically, it should have a major impact on many facets of academic life, from the classroom to faculty senates to the office of the general counsel.
