In the mid-1990s, civil war and genocide ravaged Rwanda. Since then, the country's new leadership has undertaken a highly ambitious effort to refashion Rwanda's politics, economy, and society, and the country's accomplishments have garnered widespread praise. Remaking Rwanda is the first book to examine Rwanda's remarkable post- genocide recovery in a comprehensive and critical fashion. By paying close attention to memory politics, human rights, justice, foreign relations, land use, education, and otherkey social institutions and practices, this volume raises serious concerns about the depth and durability of the country's reconstruction.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/213afa05/remaking-rwanda-scott-straus-9780299282646.jpg|9780299282646|Remaking Rwanda : Paperback : University of Wisconsin Press : 9780299282646 : 15 Apr 2011 : Brings together experienced scholars and human rights professionals to offer a nuanced, historically informed picture of post-genocide Rwanda-one that reveals ...|new|1|1|1|26.50|0|GBP|Scott Straus|University of Wisconsin Press|15 Apr 2011|Political structure & processes 9780299217044|A History of the French New Wave Cinema|19.16|https://wordery.com/a-history-of-the-french-new-wave-cinema-richard-neupert-9780299217044|The French New Wave cinema is arguably the most fascinating of all film movements, famous for its exuberance, daring, and avant-garde techniques. A History of the French New Wave Cinema offers a fresh look at the social, economic, and aesthetic mechanisms that shaped French film in the 1950s, as well as detailed studies of the most important New Wave movies of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Richard Neupert first tracks the precursors to New Wave cinema, showing how they provided blueprints for those who would follow. He then demonstrates that it was a core group of critics-turned-directors from the magazine Cahiers du Cinéma?especially François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, and Jean-Luc Godard?who really revealed that filmmaking was changing forever. Later, their cohorts Eric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, and Pierre Kast continued in their own unique ways to expand the range and depth of the New Wave.  In an exciting new chapter, Neupert explores the subgroup of French film practice known as the Left Bank Group, which included directors such as Alain Resnais and Agnès Varda. With the addition of this new material and an updated conclusion, Neupert presents a comprehensive review of the stunning variety of movies to come out of this important era in filmmaking.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/491fad48/a-history-of-the-french-new-wave-cinema-richard-neupert-9780299217044.jpg|9780299217044|A History of the French New Wave Cinema : Paperback : University of Wisconsin Press : 9780299217044 : 15 Feb 2007 : The French New Wave cinema is the most fascinating of all film movements, famous for its exuberance, daring, and avant-garde techniques ...|new|1|1|5|26.50|0|GBP|Richard Neupert|University of Wisconsin Press|15 Feb 2007|Films, cinema 9780299250348|Intensive Bulgarian 1 Audio Supplement|36.75|https://wordery.com/intensive-bulgarian-1-audio-supplement-ronelle-alexander-9780299250348|This audio CD is designed to supplement Ronelle Alexander's Intensive Bulgarian, a two-volume textbook set that teaches students lively, modern colloquial Bulgarian, familiarizes them with Bulgarian cultural life, and thoroughly explains Bulgarian grammar.

Edited by Lázaro Lima and Felice Picano, Ambientes is a revolutionary collection of fiction featuring stories by established authors as well as emerging voices that present a collective portrait of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender experience in America today. With a preface by Picano and an introduction by Lima that sets the stage for understanding Latino literary and cultural history, this is the first anthology to cross cultural and regional borders by offering a wide variety of urban, rural, East Coast, West Coast, and midwestern perspectives on Latina and Latino queers from different walks of life. Stories range from sensual pieces to comical romances and from inner-city dramas fueled by street language to portraits of gay domesticity, making this a much-needed collection for many different kinds of readers. The stories in this collection reflect a vibrant and creative community and redefine received notions of ?gay? and ?lesbian.?

There is no book similar to this currently available."---Maura Keefe, resident scholar at Jacob's Pillow Festival and associate professor at SUNY Brockport Composing while Dancing: An Improviser's Companion examines the world of improvisational dance and the varied approaches to this art form. By introducing the improvisational strategies of twenty-six top contemporary artists of movement improvisation, Melinda Buckwalter offers a practical primer to the dance form. Each chapter focuses on an important aspect of improvisation including spatial relations, the eyes, and the dancing image. Included are sample practices from the artists profiled, exercises for further research, and a glossary of terms. Buckwalter gathers history, methods, interviews, and biographies in one book to showcase the many facets of improvisational dance and create an invaluable reference for dancers and dance educators. "Composing while Dancing is a treasure trove of dance improvisation information. The background history, the artists covered, and the inclusion of practical scores and exercises make for rich reading. It's an important resource for teachers, students, professionals, and dance lovers."---Paul Langland, New York University "A welcome addition to the sparse literature of movement improvisation. Through years of her own study, Buckwalter has gathered a cornucopia of improvisational practices from more than two dozen of the most intriguing (and underdocumented) movement artists working today. She then invites you, through the organization of the chapters and through her own energy and interest, to join the dance."---Kent De Spain, author of Method to the Madness: Movement Improvisation in the Words of Its Practitioners Books, [PU: University of Wisconsin Press]<
