"
Prisoner of the State "is the story of Premier Zhao Ziyang, the man
who brought liberal change to China and who was dethroned at the
height of the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 for trying to stop
the massacre. Zhao spent the last years of his life under house
arrest. An occasional detail about his life would slip out, but
scholars and citizens lamented that Zhao never had his final say.
But Zhao did produce a memoir, secretly recording on audio tapes
the real story of what happened during modern China's most critical
moments. He provides intimate details about the Tiananmen
crackdown, describes the ploys and double crosses used by China's
leaders, and exhorts China to adopt democracy in order to achieve
long-term stability. His riveting, behind-the-scenes recollections
form the basis of "Prisoner of the State."
The China that Zhao portrays is not some long-lost dynasty. It is
today's China, where its leaders accept economic freedom but resist
political change. Zhao might have steered China's political system
toward openness and tolerance had he survived. Although Zhao now
speaks from the grave, his voice still has the moral power to make
China sit up and listen.

This book examines the types, discourse modes, and effects of sex
jokes in different African contexts, in a range of different
cultural forms, from the internet to music, books, films,
advertising, and images, thus filling the existing void in
literature on the subject. Arguing that sex jokes are used to
perform a number of functions in African society, the contributors
show how they can be used to perpetuate violence against women,
construct spaces, resist oppression, create conformity, build
affiliations, and subvert morality. They consider jokes from Egypt,
Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Zambia in a range of forms including
queer sex jokes, rape jokes, performed sex jokes, gendered humour,
and resistance sex humour. The book places particular emphasis on
the impact of new media platforms and the anonymity they provide.
Providing an important analysis of this tabooed but culturally
important facet of everyday life, this book will be of interest to
scholars of African culture and society from a range of
disciplines, including anthropology, gender studies, literary
studies, and sociology.
A compilation of the proceedings of a conference held to honor
Alvin M. Liberman for his outstanding contributions to research in
speech perception, this volume deals with two closely related and
controversial proposals for which Liberman and his colleagues at
Haskins Laboratories have argued forcefully over the past 35 years.
The first is that articulatory gestures are the units not only of
speech production but also of speech perception; the second is that
speech production and perception are not cognitive processes, but
rather functions of a special mechanism. This book explores the
implications of these proposals not only for speech production and
speech perception, but for the neurophysiology of language,
language acquisition, higher-level linguistic processing, the
visual perception of phonetic gestures, the production and
perception of sign language, the reading process, and learning to
read. The contributors to this volume include linguists,
psycholinguists, speech scientists, neurophysiologists, and
ethologists. Liberman himself responds in the final chapter.
Graham Weber has been the director of the CIA for less than a week
when a Swiss kid in a dirty T-shirt walks into the American
consulate in Hamburg and says the agency has been hacked, and he
has a list of agents' names to prove it. This is the moment a CIA
director most dreads. Like the new world of cyber-espionage from
which it's drawn, The Director is a maze of double dealing, about a
world where everything is written in zeroes and ones-and nothing
can be trusted.
