AnYan H: I Deliver Parcels in Beijing

I Deliver Parcels in Beijing

An inspiring anthology of some of the best Black British writing centred around the experiences of the Windrush generation, featuring new writing from Bernardine Evaristo, Margaret Busby and Mike Philips

In June 1948 the SS Empire Windrush docked in Tilbury, carrying with it the hopes and dreams of hundreds of young men and women from the Caribbean. It was both a point of departure and a historic transformation, a moment which influenced generations of writers and artists and produced much poetry, prose, fiction, journalism and influential essays. In this groundbreaking collection, journalist and writer Onyekachi Wambu collates some of the best and most significant writing from the 75 years following the arrival of Empire Windrush. Featuring a preface by Margaret Busby, and new writing from Bernardine Evaristo, Mike Philips and Dan Hicks, Empire Windrush conjures a unique journey through the British past, present and future, via the prism of the Black imagination.

Reflections on 75 Years & More of the Black British Experience

Empire Windrush

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.

Notes on Creativity, Collaboration and The In-Between

Work in Progress

A beautiful, full-color tribute to the story of public housing in America, told through reminiscences about emblematic objects by former and current public housing residentsOver the past century, more than 10 million people across the nation-including well-known figures from Barbra Streisand to former Chicago DA Kim Foxx-have called public housing home, yet since the 1990s, thousands of public housing units across the United States have been demolished. Today, housing insecurity is one of the most pressing social issues facing the nation. Building on an exhibit at the brand-new National Public Housing Museum, We Are All Family Here is designed to help facilitate national dialogue about the history and importance of public housing through the intimacy of residents' memories of prized, and ordinary, everyday objects. The book will include full-color photos of over two dozen objects-from a championship boxing belt owned by Lee Roy "Solid Gold" Murphy and the leather motorcycle jacket of legendary Cabrini-Green organizer&nbsp;Marion Stamps, to a camera, a Pyrex dish, and a wedding dress-along with photos of the individuals who have provided them, as well as brief essays by the objects' owners, describing each object's significance with respect to the time the owner resided in a public housing building. The book also includes essays by experts on housing and homelessness in America. Together, these objects will tell both the beautiful and troubled history of public housing, and the diverse experiences of those who have survived and thrived in those communities.

The Story of Public Housing in 35 Everyday Objects

We Are All Family Here

From the Samuel Johnson Prize shortlisted author, a powerful literary memoir about life in rural Nairobi, one of the last true wildernesses of the world. Aidan Hartley grew up in Kenya, moving from farm to farm across Africa with his family. As an adult he moved to England to study, then became a war correspondent in Africa, and then, when he couldn't resist it any longer, a farmer in his own right. Aidan's farm today sits in view of the Kenyan Mountain. His work is dosing sheep, dipping cattle, fixing machinery, responding to the night alarms of rustlers entering the valley on elephant raids. Living here, injury means relying on a manual called Where There is No Doctor, and the home medicine chest complete with blood coagulants for gunshot wounds. Laikipia is a beautiful, wild place. Sometimes peaceful, and sometimes dangerous. It is also a landscape tragically at risk. Across the course of Aidan's life, the nature around him has changed. The wild hunting dog, cheetah, rhinos, elephants - even the giraffe and lion - face oblivion. Whole forests have been torn down. Kenya Mountain on the horizon is losing its tropical icefields - they will be gone in a handful of years. Paradise of Thorns is a restlessly inventive literary memoir: the story of Aidan's departure from cities and the irresistible move back to his real home. It is part glorious testament to the extraordinary heart of rural Africa as a place which is fast becoming lost; part antidote to the false impressions imposed on the country over the years; and part adventure story of drug trade, cattle raids, gunfights, tragic losses, ambushes, posses and battles.

Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at all.Mary Seacole - traveller, nurse, businesswoman and radical for her time - defied a prejudiced British government to care for soldiers wounded during the Crimean War.This ground breaking account, written by Seacole in 1857, brings to life her incredible journey from Jamaica to Central America and England, and then on to modern-day Ukraine, where she acted as nurse to injured soldiers while running her business, the 'British Hotel'. A witness to key battles, she gives vivid accounts of how she coped with disease, bombardment and other adversities during the Crimean War.In this extraordinary autobiography, Seacole shows how she navigated her way through racial injustice, poverty and ignorance to become the first woman of colour in Britain to publish her memoirs. It is a testament to her enduring legacy.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

The Only One in the Room

Wie geht man damit um, wenn die eigenen Kinder ganz anders sind als man selbst, was bedeutet das für sie und ihre Familien? Und wie akzeptieren wir und unsere Gesellschaft außergewöhnliche Menschen? Ein eindrucksvolles Buch über das Elternsein, über die Kraft der Liebe, aber auch darüber, was unsere Identität ausmacht. Der Bestsellerautor Andrew Solomon hat mit über 300 Familien gesprochen, deren Kinder außergewöhnlich oder hochbegabt sind, die das Down-Syndrom haben oder an Schizophrenie leiden, Autisten, taub oder kleinwüchsig sind. Ihre Geschichten sind einzigartig, doch ihre Erfahrungen des "Andersseins" sind universell. Ihr Mut, ihre Lebensfreude und ihr Glück konfrontieren uns mit uns selbst und lassen niemanden unberührt. »Solomon hat eine Ideengeschichte geschrieben, die zur Grundlage einer Charta der psychologischen Grundrechte des 21. Jahrhunderts werden könnte... Erkenntnisse voller Einsicht, Empathie und Klugheit.« Eric Kandel »Das vielleicht größte Geschenk dieses monumentalen, so faktenreichen wie anrührenden Werks besteht darin, dass es zum permanenten Nachdenken anregt.« Philip Gourevitch »Dieses Buch schießt einem Pfeil um Pfeil ins Herz.« The New York Times »Dies ist eines der außergewöhnlichsten Bücher, die ich in letzter Zeit gelesen habe: mutig, einfühlsam und zutiefst menschlich... Seine Geschichten sind von meisterhafter Feinfühligkeit und Klarheit.« Siddhartha Mukherjee, Autor von &gt;Der König aller Krankheiten&lt;

A fiercely funny and wise story of sensuality, money and romance - how those forces can break us, and how they can make us whole again. Charlotte Shane's utterly compelling serial memoir follows its author over the course of several years as she falls in and out of love, contemplates the nature of sex work and pursues pleasure for its own sake. Growing out of a series of confessional letters sent by the author to a small but devoted mailing list, her unstinting and sometimes heart-breaking honesty about sex and relationships went on to make them a viral sensation, gaining thousands of subscribers. By turns philosophical, irreverent and explicit, here is an affecting, immediate account of one life lived to its fullest.
