Although his parents rarely spoke of their families and the horrors they survived, the genocide and their parents' silence about it was a permanent backdrop to the Harootunian children's upbringing. In \u003ci\u003eThe Unspoken as Heritage\u003c\/i\u003e Harootunian-for the first time in his distinguished career-turns to his personal life and family heritage to explore the genocide's multigenerational afterlives that remain at the heart of the Armenian diaspora. Drawing on novels, anecdotes, and reports, Harootunian presents a composite sketch of the everyday life of his parents, from their childhood in East Anatolia to the difficulty of making new lives in the United States. A meditation on loss, inheritance, and survival-in which Harootunian attempts to come to terms with a history that is just beyond his reach-\u003ci\u003eThe Unspoken as Heritage\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how the genocidal past never leaves the present, even in its silence.","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53511000293743,"sku":"9781478006282","price":205.92,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1478006285.jpg?v=1790004304"},{"product_id":"incognegro","title":"Incognegro","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eIn 1995, a South African journalist informed Frank Wilderson, one of only two American members of the African National Congress (ANC), that President Nelson Mandela considered him \"a threat to national security.\" Wilderson was asked to comment. \u003ci\u003eIncognegro\u003c\/i\u003e is that \"comment.\" It is also his response to a question posed five years later in a California university classroom: \"How come you came back?\" Although Wilderson recollects his turbulent life as an expatriate during the furious last gasps of apartheid, \u003ci\u003eIncognegro\u003c\/i\u003e is at heart a quintessentially American story. During South Africa's transition, Wilderson taught at universities in Johannesburg and Soweto by day. By night, he helped the ANC coordinate clandestine propaganda, launch psychological warfare, and more. In this mesmerizing political memoir, Wilderson's lyrical prose flows from unspeakable dilemmas in the red dust and ruin of South Africa to his return to political battles raging quietly on US campuses and in his intimate life. Readers will find themselves suddenly overtaken by the subtle but resolute force of Wilderson's biting wit, rare vulnerability, and insistence on bearing witness to history no matter the cost.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53511030735215,"sku":"9780822359937","price":167.13,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0822359936.jpg?v=1790005754"},{"product_id":"conversations-with-john-banville","title":"Conversations with John Banville","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Banville (b. 1945) is a distinguished novelist and winner of several prestigious awards, including the Man Booker Prize for his novel The Sea. As a teenager Banville hoped to be a painter, and although he ultimately decided he lacked the talent for it, his passion for painting continues to influence and inform his work. Banville conceives the novel as a work of art aimed not at the present, but for the ages. He aspires to create narratives that offer readers a sense of what it is to be conscious, human, and feeling, and aims to convey his conviction that \"the familiar is always unfamiliar, the ordinary extraordinary.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConversations with John Banville is the first interview collection with this esteemed writer and includes eighteen interviews that reflect on nearly five decades of work, from his first book, Long Lankin, to his novel Mrs. Osmond and memoir, Time Pieces. The collection also includes discussions about--and with, in the case of James Gleick's 2014 interview--Banville's alter ego, Benjamin Black, who writes crime novels. Highly engaging and insightful, Banville's interviews offer a variety of writerly autobiography regarding what he has aimed to do in his work and how he continues to pursue perfection, which he has known from the beginning must be impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53511039844719,"sku":"9781496828767","price":270.21,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1496828763.jpg?v=1790006595"}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/collections\/biografias-memorias-14.oembed","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
