W&N Essentials

A New York Times Notable Book 'It is impossible to read Autobiography of a Face without having your consciousness raised forever' Mirabella 'Both book and life are unforgettable' New York Times At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. It took her twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and more than thirty years of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. In this lyrical and strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. She captures what it is like as a child and a young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.

Autobiography of a Face

Empire’s Other Histories

This book considers histories of home from the margins, highlighting the perspectives of displaced, colonised, and disenfranchised groups in imperial and settler colonial contexts.

Colonized and Indigenous Peoples’ Imaginaries of Home

Dwelling on the Margins of Empire

Taking the period from the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923 to the present day, this book examines Turkey's political trajectory, its economic developments and downturns and its positioning in the international arena. Breaking away from the Cold War paradigm and its focus on military coups and international security as well as approaches to Turkey which over emphasise the Ottoman past, this book also engages with cultural and social aspects of the period. Following a clear chronology, the book charts the rise of the Turkish nation-state, Turkey in the Second World War, the beginning of multi-party politics, the political plurality of the 1960s, the upheavals of the 1970s, the neo-liberal politics of the 1980s, the crumbling of the 1990s and the religious politics and presidentialism of the 2000s. Each period is divided into three sections and each chapter is accompanied by boxes inserted into the text which provide more extensive information on one particular aspect, such as cinema, political satire and social media. The book takes readers through the period providing both a clear chronological structure and an understanding of each period both from the perspective of its political and economic development and its cultural and social concerns.

A History from 1918 to the Present

The Republic of Turkey

Mothers make history. But what it has meant for mothers to do the physical and emotional work of mothering has, for centuries, been neglected in the stories of the past. Patriarchal control of motherhood has relegated the acts of growing, birthing, nurturing and loving to the sidelines, and deemed it unimportant, women's work. Now, through the voices of the women themselves, Elinor Cleghorn reclaims and retells the history of motherhood, showcasing the mothers, othermothers, midwives, activists, community leaders and more who have shaped the course of history. Beginning in the ancient world, we encounter a figurine made for a childbirth ritual over three-thousand years ago. We meet extraordinary writers and poets, like Anne Bradstreet and Elizabeth Jocelin, who were expressing their innermost feelings about motherhood. During the seventeenth century, in the streets of London we encounter unmarried mothers struggling against stigma and shame, and the women who strove to help them. Later, pioneers like Mary Wollstonecraft laid the intellectual foundations for the liberation of motherhood from male control, and the abhorrent treatment of enslaved mothers was brought to public attention by courageous activists like Sojourner Truth. These and many other brave characters lobbied for mothers of all classes and circumstances to be valued, respected, and supported - not as reproductive vessels, but as people. A Woman's Work is a powerful, inspiring and ground-breaking new history for anyone who has ever mothered.

Reclaiming the Radical History of Mothering

A Woman’s Work

This book is about something special that we all desire - love. And it is also a book about what keeps us apart - the desire to be seen but being unwilling to do what needs to be done to see. This book will change your life. It wull give you all the wings you need to fly again.

His friends called him V. He used to feel intimidated by the fashion world but he got over it. He designed his first Louis Vuitton collection in three hours. He cared more about pageantry than clothes. He wasn’t precious about his ideas. He sometimes made work and added the meaning later. He contradicted himself all the time but he saw no problem with that. Fashion for him was one big art project, and also kind of a joke. He believed in God. He believed in logos. He thought insisting on novelty in fashion was farcical; a critique meant to keep people like him out. Some nights when he couldn’t sleep he wondered how people would remember him once he was gone. Virgil Abloh, who died unexpectedly in 2021 at age 41, defied categorization. Born in Rockford, Illinois to Ghanaian immigrants, he learned to sew as child, studied civil engineering in college and then architecture in graduate school. He entered the world of fashion sideways, without formal training, upsetting the status quo first with the stratospheric success of Off-White and then with his appointment as Artistic Director of menswear at Louis Vuitton. He pierced the divisions between pop culture and couture, fashion, music, and design, and was as influenced by Marcel Duchamp and Mies van der Rohe, Albert Murray, Rammellzee, Drake, DJ Benji B, Kylie Jenner, and Bella Hadid, as by the storied histories of high fashion houses. He was fascinated by the commodification of culture and the dialectic between appropriation and reappropriation, between ‘high’ and ‘low’. He admired the ready-made and the imitative for the way in which they force you to think carefully about the context in which they were created. He felt originality was a sham, and saw clearly the way Fashion, with a capital F, depends on the policing of who is allowed the mantle of ‘genius’. The establishment bridled at his approach even as they celebrated his work. He, in turn, understood that people wanted him to be a symbol, to fit an idea of the Black Designer, but he refused any kind of easy definition. Here, in Work in Progress, is a blueprint for a way to live, a conversation between friends, a challenge to any idea of black and white thinking. A portrait of an iconoclast, WORK IN PROGRESS takes us inside the mind of one of the most visionary and transformational designers of our time.

Prostitution in Los Angeles has a long history. The story of its evolution from a red-light district run by women to a corporate vice industry dominated by men tells us much about the development of urban America. Kooistra examines race and gender dynamics alongside issues of government and police corruption, commerce and larger changes in society.

"The engineer known as the "space mechanic" speaks to both our future and past in this breathless memoir of his journey from Ecuador to NASA and beyond. Elio Morillo's life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor: space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human expansion into the solar system and promote the future of human innovation-from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and equitable access. The Boy Who Reached the Stars is both a cosmic and intimate memoir spun from a constellation of memories, reflections, and intrepid curiosity, as thoroughly luminous as the stars above"--
