KenyaDescription:
The U.S. debut of internationally acclaimed poet and performance artist Shailja Patel, Migritude is a tour-de-force hybrid text that confounds categories and conventions. Part poetic memoir, part political history, Migritude weaves together family history, reportage and monologues to create an achingly beautiful portrait of women's lives and migrant journeys undertaken under the boot print of Empire. Patel, who was born in Kenya and educated in England and the U.S., honed her poetic skills in performances of this work that have received standing ovations throughout Europe, Africa and North Ame... continue

Min lengste reise by Oksana Zabuzhko NO
UkraineDescription:
Da Russland invaderte Ukraina 24. februar 2022, hadde forfatter Oksana Zabuzjko akkurat ankommet Polen for å promotere sin nyeste bok. Hun hadde pakket den lille reisevesken, for hun skulle bare være borte fra leilighet og ektemann i Kyiv i et par dager. Da ektemannen ringte for å fortelle hva som hadde skjedd, forandret alt seg.

Mind the Child : The Victoria Line by Camila Batmanghelidjh, Kids Company (Charity) EN
IranDescription:
Written by the children of Kids Company in partnership with Camila Batmanghelidjh, Mind The Childwill bring voices to light from the hidden parts of the city, the parts not usually heard from in our media, the parts least served by investment, and by public transport. The stations of the Victoria Line are some of the few on the Underground to weave into the capital's most neglected areas - south and east London - but even they stop abruptly at the relatively central points of Brixton at one end, Walthamstow at the other. Here, the children bring us beyond these arbitrary cut-offs, into the vas... continue
