![]() ![]() Combined with the book’s overall tone, it offers an intimate experience where readers can process situations before they enter into their own conversations about race. ![]() Readers may find the direct address - the 'you' she points at frequently - uncomfortable, but it’s appropriate. Oluo is intellectually sharp and even funny, and this is one of the strengths of her book. the author also turns her eye toward much more complex issues like intersectionality, the school-to-prison pipeline, and cultural appropriation with wit and heart. While white readers are going to gain insight on hard-to-understand-unless-you’ve-lived-it topics in So You Want to Talk About Race, readers of color generally will find camaraderie and a resource in Ijeoma Oluo’s conversational approach to race, racism, and racial violence in America. ![]()

The slave revolt in Charleston that Handful joins in was also a real event, planned by the actual Denmark Vesey in Charleston in 1822, as slaves took inspiration from the successful Haitian rebellion of 1803 that liberated Haitian slaves from their masters through intense bloodshed. The Quaker religion became synonymous with the abolitionist cause, as many Quakers formed part of the Underground Railroad – safe houses that helped escaped slaves reach freedom in the North. In the novel, Sarah becomes a Quaker minister in order to better speak out against slavery. William Lloyd Garrison published a newspaper called The Liberator that published letters and treatises advocating freedom for the slaves. These efforts soon turned to the issue of gender equality as backlash to the visibility of women in the abolition movement rose. This movement gave rise to women like Sarah and Angelina Grimké, who wrote passionate pamphlets and rousing speeches in defense of the essential human rights of slaves. Toward the end of the antebellum years in the South, activists began touring the country advocating for abolition to free the slaves. ![]() ![]() ![]() ZSL London Zoo’s head zookeeper, Dan Simmonds, said: “We’re counting down to the Dear Zoo 40th anniversary celebrations at London Zoo this Easter, where Rod Campbell’s famous story will come alive for our visitors. ![]() ZSL London Zoo's keepers brought children's literary classic Dear Zoo to life for their animals ahead of the book's 40th anniversary celebrations, taking place at the world-famous attraction this Easter holidays.Īsiatic lions Bhanu and Arya woke up to find a new Dear Zoo-themed scratching box in their Land of the Lions home - scented with their favourite spices, cardamom and ginger, and designed to look like the famous travel crate from the beloved children’s story - while the Bolivian black-capped squirrel monkeys found their replica crate transformed into a colourful new climbing frame. ![]() Squirrel monkeys and Asiatic lions receive literary-inspired presents at ZSL London Zoo ![]() ![]() ![]() This realisation sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years.

From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the international bestseller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines history's most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we've experienced in our lifetimes - but similar to those that have happened many times before. ![]() ![]() ![]() While dodging evil soldiers, paranoid priests and pseudoscientific researchers, our hero sequentially discovers all nine Insights during a series of chance encounters. South of the border, he encounters resistance from the Peruvian government and church authorities, who believe the document will undermine traditional family values. The saga begins when the unnamed middle-aged male narrator whimsically quits his nondescript life to track down an ancient Peruvian manuscript (pretentiously called the Manuscript) containing nine Insights that supposedly prophesy the modern emergence of New Age spirituality. Originally self-published, the book sold phenomenally, sparked by word of mouth, and may be this year's The Bridges of Madison County -with which it shares some regrettable stylistic similarities. Redfield's debut is a fast-paced adventure in New Age territory that plays like a cross between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Moses's trek up Mt. ![]() ![]() Personally, I think that it transferred well from screen to stage, and I had a great time reading it almost immediately after rewatching the film. The stage adaptation of Shakespeare in Love is almost exactly like the film - which I like! As I mentioned in my Favorite Shakespeare Adaptations & Retellings post, I love the film Shakespeare in Love, so truthfully, I’m glad they didn’t change much! Some scenes were shortened and some things were taken out, but overall nothing much was changed. So, get cozy, grab a cup of your beverage of preference, and let’s talk about some of my Shakespeare-related April reads!
