This is a true story about one Caribbean man's journey through the healthcare industry and the scare that he may have to lose one of his testicles. Does he? That man is me. Without warning, a searing pain struck. My goodness, what was it? It was neither my stomach nor appendix, but my testicles. No it was only a testicle, my right ball to be precise. I became stunned and only through divine intervention regained my balance, but not my composure, and with wild gesticulations, six feet above ground level, I grasped the ladder. I still do not believe that being either shot or knifed is as painful as the pangs which, like little red devils armed with electric pitchforks, stabbed the areas around and through my groin. Given man's proclivity to intently guard his genitals, I hastened to cup my source of dismay, movements which catapulted the tin of paint off the ladder's platform.

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Wise and addictive... The Gifted School is the juiciest novel I've read in ages... a suspenseful, laugh-out-loud page-turner and an incisive inspection of privilege, race and class." –J. Courtney Sullivan, author of Friends and Strangers, in The New York Times Smart and juicy, a compulsively readable novel about a previously happy group of friends and parents that is nearly destroyed by their own competitiveness when an exclusive school for gifted children opens in the community, from the author of The Displacements This deliciously sharp novel captures the relentless ambitions and fears that animate parents and their children in modern America, exploring the conflicts between achievement and potential, talent and privilege. Set in the fictional town of Crystal, Colorado, The Gifted School is a keenly entertaining novel that observes the drama within a community of friends and parents as good intentions and high ambitions collide in a pile-up with long-held secrets and lies. Seen through the lens of four families who've been a part of one another's lives since their kids were born over a decade ago, the story reveals not only the lengths that some adults are willing to go to get ahead, but the effect on the group's children, sibling relationships, marriages, and careers, as simmering resentments come to a boil and long-buried, explosive secrets surface and detonate. It's a humorous, keenly observed, timely take on ambitious parents, willful kids, and the pursuit of prestige, no matter the cost.

This very readible book offers a the true account of a Zululand family whose lives were touched in equal measure by tribal belief and Christianity, healing herbs, magical birds and the tokeloshe, a mischievous creature surrounded by myth and sexual innuendo. It is a story of betrayal, grand passion, bewitchment, abuse and the triumph of love. A love-story and family saga; and social history.. In the late 19th century, well-to-do British and Irish traders started operating in Ngome in northern KwaZulu-Natal. They took Zulu wives and adopted Zulu cultural practices, including polygamy, which meant that they fathered numerous children with their various wives. Agnes Lottering, the author of this book, is one of their offspring. Her grandfather, the Rorke after whom Rorke's Drift was called, came from Dublin; her grandmother was a princess of the Myeni tribe of Ubumbo. women who found them in a social environment that was neither Zulu nor British, where women, now without the strict codes that governed Zulu marriages, were basically at the mercy of the men: white men, far removed from their own society with its constraints, and coloured men who had never known a coherent, stable social environment. Both Agnes and her mother were loved with passion, but both were also abused. Caught in the cross-current of two cultures and never completely belonging to either, they both managed not to have their spirit broken. In fact, Agnes is and emerges from her narrative almost larger than life.

How wounds from a previous generation may weigh on children and grandchildren contain much of interest. Yet if we unpack the ghostly, the eerie, and the spectral in transgenerational hauntings, if we allow for the suffering or the disturbed to forge social links, such contacts may enable breaking into reconnections and afterlives. … One only needs to think of the near epidemic of rape in South Africa to sense violent hypermasculinity erupting as madness, mediated by a history of brutal, racialised reduction. But it is also important to move beyond the brutalities and madness, to consider the individual and collective refigurations surfacing out of layers of catastrophe. Nancy Rose Hunt: Conference Keynote Address, “Beyond Trauma? Notes on a Word, a Frame, and a Diagnostic Category.” Historical Trauma and Memory: Living with the Haunting Power of the Past is based on essays presented at a conference with the same name which was held in Kigali, Rwanda in April 2019. The book gives readers front row seats as an interdisciplinary group of scholars from law, psychology, history, the arts, anthropology, theology, and philosophy address the complex matrix of the emotional legacies of historical trauma, cultural legacies, people interacting with their social and political environment, and the interplay of these factors in different post-conflict societies.
