Jews of Color are not outliers, Twitty contends, but significant and meaningful cultural creators in both Black and Jewish civilizations. The question that most intrigues him is not just who makes the food, but how the food makes the people. To Twitty, the creation of African-Jewish cooking is a conversation of migrations and a dialogue of diasporas offering a rich background for inventive recipes and the people who create them. Twitty considers the marriage of two of the most distinctive culinary cultures in the world today: the foods and traditions of the African Atlantic and the global Jewish diaspora. The James Beard award-winning author of the acclaimed The Cooking Gene explores the cultural crossroads of Jewish and African diaspora cuisine and issues of memory, identity, and food.

I hadn’t read anything about Japanese immigrants to America before and it was eye-opening to see how they were treated. I knew about the Japanese camps during World War II, but I never gave much thought to what those people had endured before. It’s length actually made me wonder at first if it was written for a young audience, but the quick dive into these women’s personal lives and thoughts corrected me. I was not expecting much from this short little book. The silence they leave behind is deafening. In a mass exodus, the Japanese will leave the coastal cities and be relocated inland. And then the word comes that they’re all going to be moved. What’s a Japanese to do? They purge themselves of their heirlooms and pictures of their families, but the accusations still fly. They work for years, raising children who reject them and their traditions and being seen as outcasts by the others living around them. Written in the collective first person, this story chronicles the Japanese brides who came to American after World War I in hopes of a better life. And we are the ones that suffer when we’re taken away and put into camps. We bear the children who we hope will grow up to be just like us, but much better. We work the fields of the wealthy white men in California, never having a moments rest. We came over from Japan on boats to meet husbands in pictures. When we come closer, we discover that many of events and people from her life are reflected in her novels. If we want to understand deeper meaning and message of her books, it is interesting and relevant to explore the circumstances and thoughts that had led her to write what she did. Woolf‘s life, social and familial relationships and every single event in her life are very important when we are supposed to understand her writings. Therefore, it enables us to explore not only the world of the book we read but also we can peep inside the author‘s soul and his hidden wishes or grievances. Writer‘s own experience and mood are reflected in his writings. many famous writers are interested in human psychology, inner processes as well as in mysteries of human brain. We can find many kinds of writing where the issue of mental disorder is reflected. Grace loves stories, whether they are read to her or she makes them up herself. This 25 th Anniversary edition of Amazing Grace has a new introduction from its creators Mary Hoffman and Caroline Binch, in which they describe the background to the book – including how the artwork was modelled by a ‘real life Nana, Ma and daughter.’ And at the end there are tributes from both sides of the Atlantic: UK author and former children’s TV presenter Floella Benjamin remembers how Amazing Grace came along ‘At last!’, a story that featured a black child who is nevertheless not defined by her race and US actor and Reading Rainbow hero LeVar Burton explains why the book is one of his favourite children’s books ‘of all time’. In fact, young readers encountering her for the first time will totally relate to her as a contemporary. And amazingly, Grace has been inspiring children for twenty-five years, although just like Peter Pan, the character Grace so wishes to be in her school play, she hasn’t aged at all. Written by Mary Hoffman, illustrated by Caroline Binch, with Afterwords by Floella Benjamin and LeVar BurtonĪmazing Grace is the special story of one girl’s determination to reach for her dreams, no matter what anyone else might say to stop her.

A similar furor greeted her well-researched piece “The Case Against Breastfeeding,” which questioned the degree to which scientific evidence supports breast-feeding’s touted benefits. Born in Israel and raised in Queens, the co-founder of women’s site DoubleX (an offshoot of Slate) and contributing editor at the Atlantic Monthly is probably best known for the furor raised by her article titled (not by her) “The End of Men”-which asserts that the era of male dominance has come to an end as women gain power in the postindustrial economy.
