Knowing Ethnicity
There is a widespread assumption that both ethnicity itself and ethnic conflict, are inevitable. Yet, we know very little about how ethnic identifications function in bureaucratic terms in Africa. The stakes of this problem are rapidly escalating in moves to digital identification and population knowledge systems. Focusing on Kenya, this study provides an urgently needed exploration of where ethnic classifications have come from, and where they might go. Through genealogies of tools of ethnic identification – maps, censuses, ID cards and legal categories for minorities and marginalised communities – Samantha Balaton-Chrimes challenges conventional understandings of classifications as legible. Instead, she shows them to be uncertain and vague in useful ways, opening up new modes of imagining how bureaucracy can be used to advance pluralism. Knowing Ethnicity holds important insights for policymakers and scholars of difference and governmentality in postcolonial societies, as well as African and ethnic politics.

Radio silence - Rádiócsend
Mi van, ha minden, amit eddig hittünk magunkról, tévedés?
Frances mindig is tanulógép volt, egyetlen céllal maga előtt: bejutni egy elit egyetemre. Semmi sem állhatott az útjába. Sem a barátok, sem egy nyomasztó titok – még az sem, hogy ki ő valójában, a szíve mélyén.
Amikor Frances találkozik Aleddel, a kedvenc podcastjának zseniálisan tehetséges, de visszahúzódó alkotójával, egy teljesen új világot fedez fel. Aled megnyitja előtte az ajtót a valódi Frances felé, és a lány először tapasztalja meg, milyen az igazi barátság – amelyben félelem nélkül önmaga lehet.
Aztán a podcast hirtelen nagyon népszerűvé válik, és a barátok között kialakult törékeny bizalom darabokra hullik.
Frances a régi és az új énje közt reked. Az álmai összeomlanak. A bűntudat szorításában ráébred, hogy nincs más választása, szembe kell néznie a múltjával…
Be kell vallania, miért tűnt el régi barátja, Carys.
Közben az egyetemen Aled is magára marad, és sötét titkokkal küzd.
Csak a félelmeinkkel való szembenézés vezethet győzelemhez. És csak önmagunk felvállalásával találhatjuk meg a boldogságot.
Francesnek ehhez minden bátorságára szüksége lesz.
Lebilincselő ifjúsági regény, amely az önmagunk keresésének, az elvárásoknak és a választás szabadságának kérdéseit boncolgatja – a korosztály egyik legizgalmasabb írójának tollából

Ghost-Eye
'This shape-shifting, time-stitching novel grants us special kinds of double-vision: across eras and between species. Under its spell, Amitav Ghosh helps us begin to live multiple lives - to become aware of the porosity and mystery of being, rather than of its fortifications and frontiers' Robert Macfarlane, author of Is a River Alive?'A magical realist novel that believes in magic' Sunday TimesCalcutta, September 1969Varsha Gupta wants fish for her lunch. Her family can't understand it; the three-year-old has never tasted fish in her life. The Guptas are strict vegetarians and don't allow it inside their Calcutta mansion. But Varsha claims she can remember another life, a mud house by a river where she caught and cooked fish with a different mother. Perplexed, the Guptas turn to Dr. Shoma Bose, a psychiatrist who has been investigating what are known as 'cases of the reincarnation type' for years. But her understanding of the world is changed forever by Varsha's revelations. Half a century later, Varsha's therapeutic case file catches the attention of a group of environmental activists, and Shoma's nephew Dinu is drawn inexorably into their plans. And as Dinu finds himself caught up in the search for Varsha, buried memories of his own past begin to surface. Travelling between late-sixties Calcutta and present-day Brooklyn, Ghost-Eye is an urgent and expansive novel about family, fate and our fragile planet. 'Amitav Ghosh's intellectual panache and serene mastery of form make him one of the last great practitioners of the novel of ideas. Captivating' Pankaj Mishra
