        Glück am Morgen

        Roman

        by Betty Smith, Eike Schönfeld

        Annie liebt Carl. Und Carl liebt Annie. Und so verlässt die Achtzehnjährige heimlich die Wohnung ihrer Mutter in Brooklyn und zieht in die kleine Universitätsstadt im Mittleren Westen, wo Carl Jura studiert. Sie lassen sich gegen den Willen ihrer Eltern trauen und genießen das Glück, endlich beisammen zu sein, auch wenn der Alltag Schatten wirft: Sie müssen mit wenig zurechtkommen, Carl hat kaum Zeit, Annie dafür umso mehr. Doch das Leben meint es gut mit ihnen, Annie findet neue Freunde, Carl bessere Nebenjobs, Annie besucht klammheimlich Literaturseminare und hat erste kleine Erfolge als Schriftstellerin. Und obwohl sie wenig besitzen, fühlen sie sich reich, denn sie wissen, worauf es wirklich ankommt: Sie haben einander. Nachdem Betty Smith uns in Ein Baum wächst in Brooklyn mit der Geschichte der kleinen Francie verzaubert hat, beglückt sie uns nun mit einem wunderbar leichten Roman über das große Glück, zu lieben und geliebt zu werden.

        The Little Lady in the Blue Mountains (5)

        by Stefanie Taschinski/Nina Dullek

        The Blue Mountains are calling! When Lilly’s grandma’s favourite cow falls ill, the Bear family immediately decide to pay them a visit – but without the Little Lady. Mother and Father Bear are worried that her chameleon-like behaviour might upset Grandma Annie. But Lilly, Charley and the Little Lady won’t accept such thinking. With a zip and a zoom the Little Lady opens her umbrella and up and away they go on the greatest mountain “salafari” of all time! But then something weird happens to the Little Lady: first her feet start to tickle, then her fine hiking boots start to pinch, and her jacket seems to be shrinking! She sees with horror that she is starting to grow. What can Lilly, Charley and she do to stop it?

        Rethinking settler colonialism

        History and memory in Australia, Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand and South Africa

        by Annie Coombes

        Rethinking settler colonialism focuses on the long history of contact between indigenous peoples and the white colonial communities who settled in Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. It interrogates how histories of colonial settlement have been mythologised, narrated and embodied in public culture in the twentieth century (through monuments, exhibitions and images) and charts some of the vociferous challenges to such histories that have emerged over recent years. Despite a shared familiarity with cultural and political institutions, practices and policies amongst the white settler communities, the distinctiveness which marked these constituencies as variously, 'Australian', 'South African', 'Canadian' or 'New Zealander', was fundamentally contingent upon their relationship to and with the various indigenous communities they encountered. In each of these countries these communities were displaced, marginalised and sometimes subjected to attempted genocide through the colonial process. Recently these groups have renewed their claims for greater political representation and autonomy. The essays and artwork in this book insist that an understanding of the political and cultural institutions and practices which shaped settler-colonial societies in the past can provide important insights into how this legacy of unequal rights can be contested in the present. It will be of interest to those studying the effects of colonial powers on indigenous populations, and the legacies of imperial rule in postcolonial societies.
