by Montmorency, Cat
The difference between wanting and taking is the barest catch of a breath… Bourbon Street Bondage, Book 1 Decadent food, smoky music, dark delights—who could live in the French Quarter and not be tempted to partake? Moira D’Arcangelis, that’s who. Ever since her college boyfriend tried to add her to his list of murder victims, she’s lived a quiet life, which is code for no life at all. When her best friend Kara convinces—okay, drags—her to meet Adrian LaCroix, master of the local underground kink scene, his commanding presence and sexy Cajun accent bring her latent desires back to life. His offer to train her as a Domme is the key to regaining control of her life. Yet becoming Adrian’s protégé comes with complications. As he opens her body, mind, and soul, she begins to see Kara in a new light—right about the time a legendary Domme returns, intent on stealing Kara away. Moira has a fight on her hands. For Kara, and against a past that comes roaring back with a vengeance. She’ll need every trick Adrian can teach her to win the right to both life—and love. Warning: This book contains more seasoning than a New Orleans kitchen. It’s simmering over with sex. Boy/girl sex. Girl/girl sex. Girl/boy/girl sex. Sex toys, sex talk, sex clubs, dark and troubled sexual pasts…you get the picture. Could be too spicy for beginners, but hey, where there’s Cajun heat, there’s fire. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Biography & True StoriesOctober 2018THE STREET
A Novel
by Hrishikes Bhattacharya
She was abandoned at the Sealdah Railway station by her husband as she was barren. When Mashi sought help from the police they gang raped her. But she didn’t feel humiliated. Her husband had done worse. Over time she became the richest and most powerful woman of The Street! Your brethren you have treated with disrespect,You have denied them their simple human rights.You have made them stand and wait before you,And not given them a place in your affection.You must share with them all, their ignominy. This excerpt from the poem Apomanito by Rabindranath Tagore sums up how street children are shunned and abandoned by society in India. Even though we see them everywhere around us, we prefer to treat them as invisible beings. “Where he’ll be the next day or what he’ll do, I do not know, nor does he.” But Boomba and Toomba and many others like them exist—with their philosophy, their aspirations of life and love, their challenges, thrills and excitements. Is it time society began treating them like human beings?The Street goes beyond and explores the daily struggle for survival of street children, and the freedom they cherish and aspire.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2018American Labour’s Cold War Abroad
From Deep Freeze to Détente, 1945–1970
by Anthony Carew
During the Cold War, American labour organizations were at the centre of the battle for the hearts and minds of working people. At a time when trade unions were a substantial force in both American and European politics, the fiercely anti-communist American Federation of Labor–Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL–CIO) set a strong example for labour organizations overseas. The AFL–CIO cooperated closely with the US government on foreign policy and enjoyed an intimate, if sometimes strained, relationship with the CIA. The activities of its international staff, and especially the often secretive work of Jay Lovestone and Irving Brown—whose biographies read like characters plucked from a Le Carré novel—exerted a major influence on relationships in Europe and beyond. Having mastered the enormous volume of correspondence and other records generated by staffers Lovestone and Brown, Carew presents a lively and clear account of what has largely been an unknown dimension of the Cold War. In impressive detail, Carew maps the international programs of the AFL–CIO during the Cold War and its relations with labour organizations abroad, in addition to providing a summary of the labour situation of a dozen or more countries including Finland, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Greece, and India. American Labour’s Cold War Abroad reveals how the Cold War compelled trade unionists to reflect on the role of unions in a free society. Yet there was to be no meeting of minds on this, and at the end of the 1960s the AFL–CIO broke with the mainstream of the international labour movement to pursue its own crusade against communism.

IN THE TIME OF YELLOW BUTTERFLIES
by Vanni Puccioni
Nias Island, (Sumatra) 1856-1861. The Southern region of Nias island keeps on resisting the Dutch colonizers with its fearsome warriors. After being repeatedly defeated in the thick jungle, the Dutch mount a strong naval expedition, with the objective of building a fort in the bay of Lagundri. Bawo Mataluo is the strongest village in the region and its chief succeeds in rallying the other villages to form an army of a thousand warriors, able to crush the invaders. But mysteriously, they will not attack… But after five years the fort is destroyed by a tsunami, and the Dutch finally withdraw. (the above are actual historical facts). What happened in between these events? The story winds in the village of Bawo Mataluo, through the characters of Tuha, an old and wise witchdoctor, his rampant and evil competitor Galifa, village chiefs, a South African missionary, an evil archbishop, Dutch soldiers, and sea captains. At the turning point of the story are three episodes of man-hunting, each duel being fought through a sense: sight, scent, and hearing are the weapons to find the opponent in the thick jungle. We read of passionate love between Tuha and his wife Sumia, and between his niece Mohua and her brave but unlucky suitor. We read of mortal disease and revenge, of war, of cowardice, of treason and bravery. And we read of divine justice, delivered through the ocean.
