Towards a More Socio-economically Informed Development Discourse

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking in the Horn of Africa

Why elite Chinese women find themselves caught in a cycle of burnout. Burnout Market Feminism explores the lives of elite urban businesswomen in the Internet Age. Burnout market feminism combines Han Byung-Chul's concept of the Burnout Society and feminist Li Xiaojiang's market feminism theory. To unravel the puzzle of how women in China have thrived in business despite state crackdowns on feminism, Ling Tang argues that it is important to examine the role of the market in postsocialist China and the evolving interplay between illiberal politics and a neoliberal economy. Drawing on multisited ethnography conducted primarily in Shenzhen and Hefei during the Xi era, the author looks at the multiplicity and nuance of the lived experiences of businesswomen and their negotiations with patriarchy across different sociocultural contexts, particularly their confrontations with hetero-patriarchal intimacy norms and male-dominated guanxi business practices. Despite following diverse paths, these women share a common pursuit of achievement and growth—a pursuit that paradoxically narrows their market feminist efforts and leads to burnout, as these negotiations are often reduced to contingent bargains within a neoliberal framework. The book also extends the discussion of burnout beyond that framework, incorporating feminist critiques of women’s burnout under patriarchy and postcolonial critiques of burnout within a rhetorically socialist authoritarian state.

Geheimnisvolle Jagd

Was würdest Du tun, wenn eine KI deine Gedanken liest und dich bestraft, wenn sie ihr nicht passen?
 John wagt den Sprung in ein faszinierendes Paralleluniversum, um ein cooles Abenteuer zu erleben. Dann überschlagen sich die Ereignisse: Er verliert die Möglichkeit zur Rückkehr, seine Freundin wird entführt - und ein düsterer Schurke löst den Weltuntergang aus! John bleiben nur drei Tage, um die drohende Apokalypse abzuwenden. Seine einzige Hoffnung liegt in einem lange verschollenen Kodex, der die Macht hat, das Universum zu kontrollieren.
 

 Das geheimnisvolle Buch soll in einem alten Kloster versteckt sein, das heute als Mädcheninternat genutzt wird. In der Schule landen weibliche Teenager, deren Verhalten nicht der Norm entspricht. John meldet sich dort als Junge mit einer besonders peinlichen Neigung an, einer Neigung, die ihn zum perfekten Opfer bei seinen Mitschülerinnen macht.
 

 John muss mit ansehen, wie ein gnadenlos auf Perfektion getrimmtes System die jungen Frauen in den Selbstmord treibt. Er möchte eingreifen, doch er darf seine Tarnung nicht gefährden, denn der Schurke will den Kodex auch finden - und ist ihm dicht auf den Fersen. Begleite John auf eine gefährliche Undercover-Mission, die ihm Peinlichkeiten in einer neuen Dimension beschert - und ihn dabei an seine Grenzen führt.
 Aktueller Jugendthriller
 aus einer dystopischen Welt, in der es nur vier erlaubte Menschentypen gibt. Das Buch zeigt, wie grausam ein auf Gleichheit ausgerichtetes System mit abweichenden "Untypischen" umgeht, und wie gefährlich es ist, wenn Macht in die falschen Hände gerät.
 

 Neben der spannenden Handlung und einer die Zeiten überdauernden Liebesgeschichte gibt es auch viel Humor. So steckt der Held mitten in der Pubertät und stolpert von einer peinlichen Situation zur nächsten.
 Das Buch kann unabhängig von den anderen Teilen der Reihe gelesen werden. 

 Die spannenden und lustigen Fantasy-Abenteuer führen die jugendlichen Helden in extrem gefährliche, aber auch absurd-komische Situationen. Die 12-14-jährigen Teenager müssen die Grenzen von Raum und Zeit überwinden, um die Welt zu retten. Mädchen und Jungen ab 12 Jahren sind von der fesselnden Handlung begeistert. Die Jugendbücher sprechen auch Lesemuffel an, die ihr Handy nur ungerne gegen ein Buch austauschen. Die Bücher werden gerne für Buchvorstellungen und in Vorlesewettbewerben verwendet, sie sind im Leseförderportal Antolin ab Klasse 7 gelistet.

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history' Eugene Rogan From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

Royal Liars

The Horrors gain strength when things in our world are broken. A bone. A promise. A heart. Ever since she first encountered 'The Horrors', Alice has hidden herself safely behind the walls of her family's Whitby guest house. Only her beloved sister, Lucille, knows why: that Alice can see things - gruesome, terrible things - in the darkest corners of our world. Shadow-monsters which will do anything to satisfy their violent cravings - and seemingly nothing can stop them. Of course, no one would believe them if they told them - and so the girls stay silent. That is, until Lucille goes missing, and the boy she was in love with turns up dead. All of which coincides with the arrival of Austin - a dashing young actor from London, who claims a demon has stolen his voice, and only Alice can help him. Faced with a world and powers she never even knew existed, Alice must race against time to save her sister, herself, and perhaps the only other person who's ever cared about her. As well as send a demon or two back to where they came from . . .
