Seedbank

In this sweeping epic, full of love and loss, a woman from one of the last remote reindeer-herding tribes of northeastern China tells the story of her family and the last century of her country’s history.“A long-time confidante of the rain and snow, I am ninety years old. The rain and snow have weathered me, and I too have weathered them.”At dawn, an elder sits among the birch trees while the rest of her tribe descend the mountain to permanently inhabit the town at its base. A member of the nomadic Evenki tribe, who traverse the forested mountains of China’s eastern edge with herds of reindeer, she tells the tale of her life to the rain and fire, a life lived in close communion with nature at its most beautiful and cruel. Over the course of the twentieth century, her world is pushed to the margins of empire and industrialization. But holding steadfast against the fray of Chinese, Japanese, and Russian nation-building and resource extraction is the elder’s abiding and tender attention to her people’s core relationships—human, animal, spiritual, environmental—which in itself becomes an act of resistance.In Bruce Humes’s illuminating translation, acclaimed author Chi Zijian renders an Evenki experience of interdependence and reciprocity with the natural world, where wilderness is infused with domestic life and spiritual intervention—reindeer herding and ice fishing, Shamanic songs and rites, and tallies of marriages, births, and deaths. Contending with the preservation of tradition and legacy alongside the threat of progress and displacement, Zijian depicts lives that resist the march of modernization, speaking profoundly to the real endangerment of Indigenous communities and knowledge across the world.&nbsp;

The North American debut of one of China’s most celebrated authors, “Chi Zijian’s beautifully realised novel offers a detailed portrait of a way of life hard to imagine today” (The Independent).At the end of the twentieth century, an intergenerational Indigenous family of the Evenki tribe living deep in the forested mountains of China’s eastern edge encounters existential change. An elder spins the daily tales of community drama against the fray of Chinese, Japanese, and Russian nation-building and resource extraction. As our narrator’s world is forced to the margins of empire and industrialization, her abiding and tender attention to her people’s core relationships—human, animal, spiritual, environmental—becomes itself an act of resistance.In Bruce Humes’s inspired translation, acclaimed author Chi Zijian gives us an unabashedly intimate account of how an entire culture can be pushed to the vanishing point over the course of one lifetime. Through distinctive pace and slowness, the book renders an Evenki experience of interdependence and reciprocity with the natural world, where wilderness is infused with domestic life and spiritual intervention. From reindeer herding and ice fishing, to Shamanic songs and rites, to tallies of marriages, births, and deaths, this nomadic clan contends with preserving traditions and legacy alongside the threat of progress and displacement.This essential addition to the Seedbank series shows real lives that don’t conform to the march of modernization, speaking profoundly to real endangerment of Indigenous communities and knowledge across the world. “When I look again at the fawn that is nearer and nearer to us, it feels as if the pale-white crescent has fallen to the ground,” our narrator concludes. “I’m crying, because I can no longer distinguish between heaven and earth.”This epic, internationally recognized work humbly challenges us to see that all is shared and interconnected—joy and loss, creatures and peoples, the material and the magical.

The Mask of Apollo

A saga of young hands at a silk-making facility, a gripping tale of hope, friendship and loss.

In southern India, in 1992, silkworms feed on Mulberry leaves and spin cocoons of silk. Six days a week, twelve hours a day, fourteen-year-old Manju and his friend Shiva toil in the brutal confines of the Factory, which runs under the merciless leadership of Pandu. Lives improve for the two boys when they cross paths with Sunil, a city-bred lad whose family owns the silk business. Sunil, who is battling his own demons, finds unexpected comfort in the company of his new-found friends. However, menacing currents within the Factory continue to simmer under the surface, and things rapidly come to a head. Little Hands of Silk is a novel of loss—loss of empathy, of innocence, of life itself, but it’s also a tale of hope and friendship that blooms as an antidote to the surrounding evil.

Weddings At Sandcastle Cottage

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY IRENOSEN OKOJIE 'Gloria Naylor is gifted with timeless wisdom, bottomless empathy, and limitless language. Her novels will shine a light for readers and writers for generations to come' Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction In post-World War II Brooklyn, on a quiet backstreet, there's a little place that draws people from all over-not for the food, and definitely not for the coffee. An in-between place that's only there when you need it, Bailey's Cafe is a crossroads where patrons stay for a while before making a choice: Move on or check out? Patrons include Sadie, the ladylike alcoholic with a mania for cleanliness; Sweet Esther, who caters to unspeakable appetites in a nearby 'boarding house', taking payment only in white roses; and Mariam, the Ethiopian child who may be the bearer of a miracle.

She holds a hallowed place in the canon, and also in hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits' Robert Jones, Jr., author of The New York Times bestselling novel, The Prophets

Routledge Studies in Environmental Communication and Media

This book explores twenty-first century environment-themed advertising with a global reach in relation to three key emerging persuasive themes: governance, morality and transnational rhetoric. Adopting a social semiotic approach, and exploring key examples including Greenpeace's "Everything is NOT Awesome" brandjacking advert, Volkswagen's "Think Blue" campaign and Unilever's "Why Bring a Child Into This World?" advert, Alexander puts forward a number of observations about the ideological character and function of environmental advertising as a new form of transnational persuasion.

Environmental Communication is a growing area of academic enquiry. But, whilst there are key texts on environmental communication and new texts on environment-themed media, there is, as yet, no book specifically devoted to "green" (environment themed) advertising. Filling this lacuna, this book explores twenty-first century environment-themed advertising with a global reach in relation to three key emerging persuasive themes: governance, morality and transnational rhetoric. Such environment-themed advertising with transnational reach, addressed to transnational publics and produced by global actors (from NGOs to multinationals to the United Nations to celebrities), is now a significant form of environmental communication. This book considers that form and its meanings; the "environmental imaginary" it builds in the minds of its publics, its ideological and emotional landscapes, and its limitations. Adopting a social semiotic approach, and exploring key examples including Greenpeace’s "Everything is NOT Awesome" brandjacking advert, Volkswagen’s "Think Blue" campaign and Unilever’s "Why Bring a Child Into This World?" advert, Alexander puts forward a number of observations about the ideological character and function of environmental advertising as a new form of transnational persuasion. The first book to explore the social and symbolic significance of "green" advertising as a transnational form of environmental communication, this book will be of great relevance to scholars and students with an interest in this growing field.
