NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • A landmark work about grief, love, and survival from one of America’s most iconic writers One of The New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • One of The Guardian’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century Joan Didion delivers a searing portrait of a marriage and a life – in good times and bad – that will speak to anyone who has ever loved and lost a husband or wife or child. In a work of electric honesty and passion, Didion explores how we all, somehow, will ourselves to survive. “An utterly shattering portrait of loss and grief.” –The New York Times Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana Roo, fall ill with septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later, the Dunnes were sitting down to dinner after visiting their daughter in the hospital when John suffered a fatal heart attack. In that one moment, their partnership of forty years came to an end. This powerful narrative is Didion's “attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness…about marriage and children and memory…about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.” “Didion has transformed grief into literature.” —The Guardian

Introducing the Collins Modern Classics, a series featuring some of the most significant books of recent times, books that shed light on the human experience - classics which will endure for generations to come. That girl didn't want to die. She just wanted out of that house. She wanted out of that decorating scheme. The five Lisbon sisters - beautiful, eccentric and, now, gone - had always been a point of obsession for the entire neighbourhood. Although the boys that once loved them from afar have grown up, they remain determined to understand a tragedy that has defied explanation. The question persists - why did all five of the Lisbon girls take their own lives? This lyrical and timeless tale of sex and suicide that transforms and mythologizes suburban middle-American life announced the arrival of one of the greatest American novelists of the last thirty years. 'A flare from my own secret world, all the inchoate longings and obsessions of being a teenager somehow rendered into book form' Emma Cline, author of The Girls

'This century's most compelling theorist of racism and colonialism' Angela Davis
'Fanon is our contemporary ... In clear language, in words that can only have been written in the cool heat of rage, Fanon showed us the internal theatre of racism' Deborah Levy
Frantz Fanon's urgent, dynamic critique of the effects of racism on the psyche is a landmark study of the black experience in a white world. Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism's subjects internalize its prejudices, eventually emulating the 'white masks' of their oppressors, it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti-colonialist thinker. 'So hard to put down ... a brilliant, vivid and hurt mind, walking the thin line that separates effective outrage from despair' The New York Times Book Review

DAS Buch zur US-Wahl im November 2024: Rassismus, Sexismus, Klassismus sind Sprachen der Unterdrückung. Die Grammatik, die ihnen unsichtbar zugrunde liegt, ist das System der Kaste. In ihrer augenöffnenden Analyse legt die Historikerin und Journalistin Isabel Wilkerson den Blick frei auf eben dieses Regelwerk, nach dem wir entscheiden, wem in einer Gesellschaft Ressourcen und Respekt zugestanden werden - und wem nicht. Wilkerson betrachtet neben den USA die Kastensysteme Indiens und des Dritten Reichs. Sie zeigt, inwiefern selbst die privilegiertesten Menschen der westlichen Welt irgendwann einer benachteiligten Kaste angehören werden: der Kaste der Alten. Und sie erzählt eindrücklich aus dem eigenen Leben. Profund recherchiert, brillant geschrieben.

Angela Davis beleuchtet kritisch, wie sich der Kampf um die Bürgerrechte der Schwarzen mit den Kämpfen weißer Frauen für Bildung, Wahlrecht und Gleichberechtigung verband. Die Autorin argumentiert, dass die weiße Frauenbewegung die Bedürfnisse der Schwarzen Gemeinschaft nie verstanden habe, und erklärt, warum Schwarze Frauen in den USA aufgrund von Klassenlage und Rassismus an die heute zentralen Fragen des Feminismus meist anders herangehen als ihre weißen Schwestern: an die Frage der Berufswahl, der gewerkschaftlichen Organisierung, der sexuellen Gleichberechtigung, der Geburtenkontrolle und reproduktiven Freiheit, der Gewalt, der Haus- und Care-Arbeit.

Ein Grundlagenwerk über die moderne Schwarze Bewegung in Deutschland und ihre Protagonistinnen »Tiffany N. Florvil leistet Pionierarbeit. Ihr Buch trägt dazu bei, dass Schwarzer Aktivismus in Deutschland endlich als das anerkannt wird, was er ist: Teil der deutschen Geschichte.« Alice Hasters Umfassend, detailliert, tiefgreifend und gestützt auf eine Vielzahl von Quellen zeichnet die afrokaribisch-amerikanische Historikerin Tiffany N. Florvil die Entstehung und Entwicklung der modernen Schwarzen Bewegung in Deutschland von den 1980er bis in die 2000er Jahre nach. Von zentraler Bedeutung waren dabei Protagonistinnen des Schwarzen deutschen Feminismus: May Ayim, Katharina Oguntoye, Jasmin Eding, Ria Cheatom und viele andere.
