 Curious about George Curious George, Cultural Icons, Colonialism, and US Exceptionalism【電子書籍】[ Rae Lynn Schwartz-DuPre ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 1940, Hans Augusto Rey and Margret Rey built two bikes, packed what they could, and fled wartime Paris. Among the possessions they escaped with was a manuscript that would later become one of the most celebrated books in children’s literatureー＜em＞Curious George＜/em＞. Since his debut in 1941, the mischievous icon has only grown in popularity. After being captured in Africa by the Man in the Yellow Hat and taken to live in the big city’s zoo, Curious George became a symbol of curiosity, adventure, and exploration. In ＜em＞Curious about George: Curious George, Cultural Icons, Colonialism, and US Exceptionalism＜/em＞, author Rae Lynn Schwartz-DuPre argues that the beloved character also performs within a narrative of racism, colonialism, and heroism.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Using theories of colonial and rhetorical studies to explain why cultural icons like Curious George are able to avoid criticism, Schwartz-DuPre investigates the ways these characters operate as capacious figures, embodying and circulating the narratives that construct them, and effectively argues that discourses about George provide a rich training ground for children to learn US citizenship and become innocent supporters of colonial American exceptionalism. By drawing on postcolonial theory, children’s criticisms, science and technology studies, and nostalgia, Schwartz-DuPre’s critical reading explains the dismissal of the monkey’s 1941 abduction from Africa and enslavement in the US, described in the first book, by illuminating two powerful roles he currently holds: essential STEM ambassador at a time when science and technology is central to global competitiveness and as a World War II refugee who offers a “deficient” version of the Holocaust while performing model US immigrant. Curious George’s twin heroic roles highlight racist science and an Americanized Holocaust narrative. By situating George as a representation of enslaved Africans and Holocaust refugees, ＜em＞Curious about George＜/em＞ illuminates the danger of contemporary zero-sum identity politics, the colonization of marginalized identities, and racist knowledge production. Importantly, it demonstrates the ways in which popular culture can be harnessed both to promote colonial benevolence and to present possibilities for resistance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 3,256円 |
 The Point of Us【電子書籍】[ FL Rose ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞We all think we know where we're going. But sometimes, we realise that we don't know who we are.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Paul is losing his faith, both in God and in his own ability to make a difference to others. Signing up to visit notorious hitman Trevor Eddison in prison, his belief in the fundamental goodness of human nature takes a hit of its own. Meanwhile Paul's wife Terentia, a prize-winning novelist, can't get a publisher for her latest book. Is her creative career over, and who is she, if she's not a writer? Dave is accused of racism towards one of the passengers on his bus. Too stubborn to apologise, it looks like both his job and his relationship might be at risk. And finally, there's Emma, Dave's wife - a woman for whom life - as the saying goes - is a bowl of cherries. Emma couldn't ask for a better husband and more adorable kids, but perhaps Fate is taking a spiteful interest…＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Point of Us is about how we all deal with those times in life when it seems like there's nothing solid to hold on to - and how we push through. By turns funny, tragic and uplifting, it not only entertains but makes us question the assumptions on which we all base our lives.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 300円 |

It is not memoir, yet it has deeply personal connections to Jason’s life. And while rooted in reality, it explodes with dreamlike experiences that pull a reader in and don’t let go, from the ability to time travel to sightings of sea monsters and peacocks, and feelings of love and memory so real they hurt.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞People Like Us＜/em＞, two Black writers are trying to find peace and belonging in a world that is riven with gun violence. One is on a global book tour after a big prize win; the other is set to give a speech at a school that has suffered a shooting. And as their two storylines merge, truths and antics abound in equal measure: characters drink booze out of an award trophy; menaces lurk in the shadows; tiny French cars putter around the countryside; handguns seem to hover in the air; and dreams endure against all odds.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞People Like Us＜/em＞ is wickedly funny and achingly sad all at once. It is an utter triumph bursting with larger-than-life characters who deliver a very real take on our world. This book contains characters experiencing deep loss and longing; it also is buoyed by riotous humor and characters who share the deepest love. It is the newest creation of a writer whose work amazes, delivering something utterly new yet instantly recognizable as a Jason Mott novel.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finishing the novel will leave you absolutely breathless and, at the same time, utterly filled with joy for life, changed forever by characters who are people like us.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,281円 |

 Don't Forget Us Here Lost and Found at Guantanamo【電子書籍】[ Mansoor Adayfi ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞This moving, eye-opening memoir of an innocent man detained at Guant?namo Bay for fifteen years tells a story of humanity in the unlikeliest of places and an unprecedented look at life at Guant?namo.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the age of 18, Mansoor Adayfi left his home in Yemen for a cultural mission to Afghanistan. He never returned.

Arriving as a stubborn teenager, Mansoor survived the camp's infamous interrogation program and became a feared and hardened resistance fighter leading prison riots and hunger strikes. With time though, he grew into the man prisoners nicknamed "Smiley Troublemaker": a student, writer, and historian. With unexpected warmth and empathy, he unwinds a narrative of fighting for hope and survival in unimaginable circumstances, illuminating the limitlessness of the human spirit. And through his own story, Mansoor also tells Guant?namo's story, offering an unprecedented window into one of the most secretive places on earth and the peopleーdetainees and guards alikeーwho lived there with him.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Twenty years later, Guant?namo remains open, and at a moment of due reckoning, Mansoor Adayfi helps us understand what actually happened thereーboth the horror and the beautyーa vital chronicle of an experience we cannot afford to forget.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 2,083円 |

 Good Arguments How Debate Teaches Us to Listen and Be Heard【電子書籍】[ Bo Seo ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞**“The rare book that has the potential to make you smarterーand everyone around you wiser.” ーAdam Grant＜/p＞ ＜p＞Two-time world champion debater and former coach of the Harvard debate team, Bo Seo tells the inspiring story of his life in competitive debating and reveals the timeless secrets of effective communication and persuasion**＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Bo Seo was 8 years old, he and his family migrated from Korea to Australia. At the time, he did not speak English, and, unsurprisingly, struggled at school. But, then, in fifth grade, something happened to change his life: he discovered competitive debate. Immediately, he was hooked. It turned out, perhaps counterintuitively, that debating was the perfect activity for someone shy and unsure of himself. It became a way for Bo not only to find his voice, but to excel socially and academically. And he’s not the only one. Far from it: presidents, Supreme Court justices, and CEOs are all disproportionally debaters. This is hardly a coincidence. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, Seo shows how the skills of debatingーinformation gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasionーare often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing insights from its strategies, structure, and history, Seo teaches readers the skills of competitive debate, and in doing so shows how they can improve their communication with friends, family, and colleagues alike. He takes readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, touching on everything from the radical politics of Malcom X to Artificial Intelligence. Seo proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that, far from being a source of conflict, good-faith debate can enrich our daily lives. Indeed, these good arguments are essential to a flourishing democracy, and are more important than ever at time when bad faith is all around, and our democracy seems so imperiled.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 759円 |

 Am Vorabend von St. Bartholom?us: Historischer Roman【電子書籍】[ G. A. Henty ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Im Jahr 1567 gab es nur wenige St?dte in den s?dlichen Grafschaften Englands, in denen sich nicht eine mehr oder weniger gro?e Kolonie franz?sischer Protestanten befand. Drei?ig Jahre lang waren die Hugenotten st?ndigen und grausamen Verfolgungen ausgesetzt gewesen; viele Tausende waren von den Soldaten massakriert, auf dem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt oder mit schrecklichen Folterungen zu Tode gebracht worden. F?nfzigtausend, so wurde errechnet, hatten trotz der strengsten Pr?ventionsma?nahmen ihre Heimat verlassen und waren ?ber die Grenzen gefl?chtet. Sie hatten sich gr??tenteils in den protestantischen Kantonen der Schweiz, in Holland oder England niedergelassen. Da viele derjenigen, die unsere K?sten erreichten, nur ?ber wenig Geld verf?gten, lie?en sie sich nat?rlich in den Landungsh?fen oder in deren N?he nieder. Canterbury war ein Ort, an dem viele der ungl?cklichen Auswanderer eine Heimat fanden. Hier hatten sich Gaspard Vaillant, seine Frau und ihre Schwester, die im Jahr 1547 an Land gegangen waren, niedergelassen. Sie geh?rten zu den ersten Ank?mmlingen, aber die franz?sische Kolonie wuchs allm?hlich, bis sie mehrere Hundert Menschen umfasste. Die Hugenotten waren in der Stadt sehr beliebt, sie wurden wegen ihres Ungl?cks bemitleidet und f?r den Mut bewundert, mit dem sie ihre Verluste ertrugen; sie machten sich an die Arbeit, jeder in seinem Beruf, wenn er einen hatte, oder wenn nicht, nahmen sie die erste Arbeit an, die sich ihnen bot. Sie waren ruhige und gottesf?rchtige Leute; sehr gut zueinander und zu ihren armen Landsleuten auf dem Weg von der K?ste nach London, indem sie sie nach Kr?ften unterhielten und sie mit Briefen an das Hugenottenkomitee in London weiterschickten, und mit gen?gend Geld in der Tasche, um ihre Reisekosten zu bezahlen und sie eine Weile zu versorgen, bis eine Arbeit f?r sie gefunden werden konnte. Gaspard Vaillant war ein Landbesitzer in der N?he von Civray im Poitou gewesen. Er war blutsverwandt mit mehreren adligen Familien in dieser Gegend und geh?rte zu den ersten, die die reformierte Religion angenommen hatten. Einige Jahre lang hatte man sich nicht um ihn gek?mmert, da sich die erste Wut der Verfolger auf die ?rmeren und wehrloseren Schichten richtete; doch als die Versuche von Franziskus, die neue Sekte auszurotten, scheiterten und sein Zorn gegen sie immer st?rker wurde, gerieten Personen aller St?nde unter den Bann. Die Gef?ngnisse f?llten sich mit Protestanten, die sich weigerten, ihre Irrt?mer zu bekennen; Soldaten wurden in den St?dten und D?rfern einquartiert, wo sie furchtbare Gr?ueltaten an den Protestanten ver?bten; und Gaspard, der keine Hoffnung auf bessere Zeiten oder auf die Erlaubnis hatte, in Ruhe und Frieden seine Religion auszu?ben, sammelte, was er konnte, und machte sich mit seiner Frau und ihrer Schwester auf den Weg nach La Rochelle, von wo aus er ein Schiff nach London nahm. Da er den Trubel einer gro?en Stadt nicht mochte, wurde ihm von einigen seiner Landsleute empfohlen, nach Canterbury zu gehen, wo sich drei oder vier Fl?chtlinge aus seinem Landesteil niedergelassen hatten. Einer von ihnen war von Beruf Weber, hatte aber kein Geld, um Webst?hle herzustellen oder sich in seinem Beruf niederzulassen. Gaspard schloss sich ihm als Teilhaber an, indem er das wenige Kapital, das er gespart hatte, einsetzte; und da er ein kluger, klar denkender Mann war, ?bernahm er den gesch?ftlichen Teil des Unternehmens, w?hrend sein Partner Lequoc in der Manufaktur arbeitete.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 583円 |

 Find Fix Finish: From Tampa to Afghanistan - how Australia's special forces became enmeshed in the US kill/capture program from bestselling journal【電子書籍】[ Ben Mckelvey ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞The new book from the bestselling author of ＜em＞The Commando＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Mosul.＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞It was Australia's longest war, and also our most secretive.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the craggy mountains, green belts and digital battlefields of Afghanistan, concepts of heroism and decency started to warp and Australian special forces operators moved apart on the question of how the war should be conducted - with tragic consequences.＜/p＞ ＜p＞For more than a decade, Australia's special forces (SASR) were pushed to the limit as brutal engagements killed 20 Australians and an estimated 11,000 Afghans. Also pushed were the limits of Australian and international law, as Australia's operators fought against - and with - brutal tribal warlords and narco-barons.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Increasingly enmeshed in a US-led targeting program that attempted to kill its way out of the war, the Australian SASR became one of the most feared and lethal force elements in the country. But with a corrupt Afghan government, ancient enmity washing into each Afghan valley, and Canberra and Washington uninterested or bereft of strategy, kill/capture missions became their own end, not a means.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the aftermath of the war, rifts, rumours and media reporting triggered an independent Inquiry into alleged war crimes, the subsequent Brereton Report and a sensational defamation trial - challenging the hard-won reputation of our elite forces, including Australia's most visible and decorated soldier.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Find Fix Finish＜/em＞ is a timely investigation into Australia's special forces war in Afghanistan, featuring interviews from civilian strategic decision-makers, as well as Afghan, US and Dutch foreign nationals and former ADF commanders, troopers and privates.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Praise for ＜em＞Find Fix Finish＜/em＞:＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞'They knew Afghanistan to be an unwinnable war, but with customary obeisance to the Pentagon successive Australian governments hazarded the lives of their soldiers. This important book tells the sorry story of how Australian special forces came to specialise in targeted assassination. Never again should Australians be ordered into battle in a war without a just cause.'

 George Kennan and the Dilemmas of US Foreign Policy【電子書籍】[ David Mayers ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞One of a select group of American foreign service officers to receive specialized training on the Soviet Union in the late 1920s and early 1930s, George Frost Kennan eventually became the American government's chief expert on Soviet affairs during the height of the Cold War. Drawing upon a wealth of original research, David Mayers' fascinating life of George Kennan examines his high-level participation in foreign policy-making and interprets his political and philosophical development within a historical framework. Mayers presents an engaging and lucid account of Kennan's training; his rise to prominence during the late 1940s and his policy failures; and his later roles as critic of America's external policy, advocate of d?tente with the Soviet Union, and proponent of nuclear arms limitation. Mayers also explores Kennan's complicated relationships with such important political figures and analysts as Dean Acheson, John Foster Dulles, and Walter Lippmann.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 5,258円 |
