Step into the mind of Anna, a young woman who breaks down in depression while studying at Oxford. Back with her mother in Brighton she embarks on a journey for meaning while visiting doctors and therapists who all have different takes on how to cure her, while her drive to become a fashion model keeps her going despite body obsession and eating fixations. This is a story about navigating through a symbiotic child-parent relationship, coming to terms with beauty and the healing power of time and psychoanalysis. What does it matter to look good, if you don't feel it? "I start seeing emptiness as a big colourless hole. I can either fill it with something or I can lose myself in a vacuum of depression. Maybe the only cure against falling in is filling."

Known for much of the nineteenth century as "the ever-faithful isle," Cuba did not earn its independence from Spain until 1898, long after most American colonies had achieved emancipation from European rule. In this groundbreaking history, David Sartorius explores the relationship between political allegiance and race in nineteenth-century Cuba. Challenging assumptions that loyalty to the Spanish empire was the exclusive province of the white Cuban elite, he examines the free and enslaved people of African descent who actively supported colonialism. By claiming loyalty, many black and mulatto Cubans attained some degree of social mobility, legal freedom, and political inclusion in a world where hierarchy and inequality were the fundamental lineaments of colonial subjectivity. Sartorius explores Cuba's battlefields, plantations, and meeting halls to consider the goals and limits of loyalty. In the process, he makes a bold call for fresh perspectives on imperial ideologies of race and on the rich political history of the African diaspora.
