AfroLatinas as subject of scholarship is woefully underrepresented, and this edited volume, AfroLatinas and LatiNegras: Culture, Identity, and Struggle from an Intersectional Perspective, offers an important and timely intervention. The consistent attention to AfroLatinas' agency across all the chapters is empowering and attentive to the difficult circumstances of asserting that agency, and the tremendous breadth of what agency can look like. The authors argue the analytical power of the concept of Intersectionality while considering the hegemonic pressures on AfroLatinidad and the essentializing moves that an intersectional approach enables evading, overthrowing, and resisting systems of power. Through the study of multiple cultural expressions of Blackness, such as photography, colonial inquisition records, dance, music, fiction, non-fiction, poetic memoir, and religious expression, and throughout different region of the Americas, the chapter contributors of this book consider the relationship that social and historical processes, such as sovereignty and colonialism, have on narrative and cultural production. Rosita Scerbo, Concetta Bondi, and the contributors acknowledge that racial and gender equity cannot exist without Intersectionality, and the inclusion of activist voices broadens its reach and links theory to praxis.
Sebastian Fitzek, Germany's king of the thriller, is taking over the airwaves with a new, twisted and terrifying thriller. 'Good morning, Berlin. It's 7.35 AM. And you're listening to your biggest nightmare.' Today, renowned criminal psychologist Ira Samin is going to die. The grief from her daughter's death has been too overwhelming, and she just can't go on any longer. She's planned every detail meticulously. She's going to go out on her own terms, with a drink in hand to toast to oblivion. But fate has other plans for her. A psychopath has taken over the city's leading radio station and is holding everyone inside hostage. For each hostage he calls a number from the phonebook, at random. If they answer with a specific slogan, a hostage goes free. If they don't, a hostage dies. So the police call in Ira to negotiate. The man has only one demand: he will stop his twisted game once his fiancee is brought to him. His fiancee who has been dead for months...
A first-of-its-kind primer on markets and the economy-providing the knowledge you need to protect yourself from the next financial meltdown. It's well known that carry trading has been a driving force in financial markets for years. But carry is actually much more than this. In fact, it has become the primary determinant of the global business cycle. The first book of its kind, The Rise of Carry explains how financial markets work today, how they relate to the overall economy, the increasingly important role of carry in the overall economy-and how it feeds the never-ending cycles of boom to bust and back again. The Rise of Carry provides critical but often overlooked foundational knowledge, such as: *The active role stock prices play in causing recessions (as opposed to the common belief that recessions cause price crashes)*The true driving force behind financial asset prices*How carry, volatility-selling, leverage, liquidity, and profitability affect the business cycle*How positive returns to carry over time are related to market volatility-and how central bank policies have acted to supercharge these returns Finally, you'll gain important insight into how the rise of carry is part of a broader phenomenon that includes growing inequality in wealth and power and, by extension, other adverse political and social developments. While there has been an increasing amount of work in academia on carry trades, this groundbreaking book is a first for investors.
