This carefully curated collection of essays charts interactions between majority languages (including English, French, German, Italian and Japanese) and minority dialects or languages pushed to the margins (including Arabic, Bengali, Esperanto, Neapolitan and Welsh) through a series of case studies of leading modern and contemporary cultural producers. The contributors, who work and study across the globe, extend critical understanding of literary multilingualism to the subjects of migration and the exophonic, self-translation and the aesthetics of interlinguistic bricolage, language death and language perseveration, and power in linguistic hierarchies in (post-)colonial contexts. Their subjects include the authors Julia Alvarez, Elena Ferrante, Jonathan Franzen, Amélie Nothomb, Ali Smith, Yoko Tawada, and Dylan Thomas, the film-maker Ulrike Ottinger, and the anonymous performers of Griko. The volume will be of interest to students of creative writing, literature, translation, and sociolinguistics.

Princess Diana was known for her various contributions and charity work related to HIV / AIDS, leprosy disease and many others. In fact, she was the "Queen of People's Hearts," as she often visited, listened and talked to people with serious diseases and conditions in life (like homeless, AIDS patients, battered women, drug addicts and others). In fact, the moment she started helping people afflicted with HIV/AIDS, it went from being a taboo and uncomfortable stigma to being a noble and worthy cause to follow. Diana founded many organizations to help those people in the society. Princess Diana's life was filled with drama, scandals and affairs causing her to escape frequently from reality and sometimes to get attention with suicidal attempts in order to get the help she needed. In order to cope with depression, she developed bulimia (eating disorder) in order to escape uncomfortable moments and situations. You'll learn in this book why that happened in the first place. Despite her royalty status in life, she was struggling to manage her role in the Buckingham Palace. She was pretty much in-prisoned to royal traditions and often felt uncomfortable. Diana always wanted to live a "normal life" outside the royal norms. She wanted to live an independent life without having someone trying to control her all the time. In this biography you'll learn in detail her relationship with Prince Charles, affairs, "inside the curtain" behind the whole royal family, and more. You'll also discover Diana's other extramarital affairs while she was married. Princess Diana was more than just an icon in life, she was also a legend in death. If you want to learn more about her life, death, and legacy, this short biography is for you. Grab your copy now!

Women's Legal Landmarks commemorates the centenary of women's admission in 1919 to the legal profession in the UK and Ireland by identifying key legal landmarks in women's legal history. Over 80 authors write about landmarks that represent a significant achievement or turning point in women's engagement with law and law reform. The landmarks cover a wide range of topics, including matrimonial property, the right to vote, prostitution, surrogacy and assisted reproduction, rape, domestic violence, FGM, equal pay, abortion, image-based sexual abuse, and the ordination of women bishops, as well as the life stories of women who were the first to undertake key legal roles and positions. Together the landmarks offer a scholarly intervention in the recovery of women's lost history and in the development of methodology of feminist legal history as well as a demonstration of women's agency and activism in the achievement of law reform and justice.

Heritage is not what we see in front of us, it is what we make of it in our heads. Heritage sites have been connected to a range of identarian projects, both spatial and non-spatial. One of the most common links with heritage has been national identity. This book stresses that heritage has developed powerful links to regional and local identities. Contributors deal explicitly with regions of heavy industry in different parts of the world, exploring non-spatial forms of identity: including class, religious, ethnic, racial, gender and cultural identities. In many heritage sites, non-spatial forms of identity are interlinked with spatial ones. Civil society action has been important in representations of regional identities and industrial-heritage campaigns. Region-branding seems to determine the ultimate success of industrial heritage, a process that is closely connected to the marketing of regions to provide a viable economic future and attract tourism to the region. Selected case-studies on coal and steel producing regions in this book provide the first global survey of how regions of heavy industry deal with their industrial heritage, and what it means for regional identity and region-branding. This book draws a range of powerful conclusions about the path dependency of particular forms for post-industrial regional identity in former regions of heavy industry. It highlights both commonalities and differences in the strategies employed with regard to the regions’ industrial heritage. This book will appeal to lecturers, students and scholars in the fields of heritage management, industrial studies and cultural geography .
