In 1962 the poet, musician, and performer Maya Angelou claimed another piece of her identity by moving to Ghana, joining a community of "Revolutionist Returnees" inspired by the promise of pan-Africanism. All God's Children Need Walking Shoes is her lyrical and acutely perceptive exploration of what it means to be an African American on the mother continent, where color no longer matters but where American-ness keeps asserting itself in ways both puzzling and heartbreaking. As it builds on the personal narrative of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Gather Together in My Name, this book confirms Maya Angelou's stature as one of the most gifted autobiographers of our time.

The Garden' ist ein STRINGS ALBUM und eine RETROSPECTIVE zugleich.

'Das ist das Geschenk der Zeit.'Pressestimmen:'Interpreted by classical arrangers, delivered with her band plus a string section, the songs blossom into unexpected new shapes.

Yilian Cañizares continues her world tour of Africanities In Exile. In 2019, to record the album Erzulie, she settled in New Orleans; she had found there the vivid memories of Creolity, Haitian voodoo, cosmopolitan jazz and southern funk. Today, for Habana-Bahia, she chooses another capital of black identities: Salvador de Bahia, and above all the neighborhood of Candeal, which concentrates all the electricity of a metropolis, its spirits and its drums. This record is a feast. It opens with the ageless timbre of the mystical washerwomen of Itapuã who bless the name of 'Oxum'. It deploys salty souls, filtered rocks, tropicalisms of the new century. It mixes voices from here and there, duets across the seas, Spanish and Brazilian. Yilian Cañizares sings her true volatile nature. She reconciles space and time, men and gods.

There are people who speak screaming and don't even realize it. If you are one of these people or know someone who speaks loudly then this "I'm Not Yelling This Is How I Talk" meme is to people like you. We all know that speaking up is bad, but there are professions where you need to speaking louder and projecting your voice. Professions such as teachers, theater actors, opera singers, coaches and so many more. Klassisch geschnitten, doppelt genähter Saum.

A river is the most human and companionable of all inanimate things. It has a life, a character, a voice of its own, and is as full of good fellowship as a sugar-maple is of sap. It can talk in various tones, loud or low, and of many subjects, grave and gay. Under favourable circumstances it will even make a shift to sing, not in a fashion that can be reduced to notes and set down in black and white on a sheet of paper, but in a vague, refreshing manner, and to a wandering air that goes; "Over the hills and far away."For real company and friendship, there is nothing outside of the animal kingdom that is comparable to a river. I will admit that a very good case can be made out in fa-vour of some other objects of natural affection. For example, a fair apology has been offered by those ambitious persons who have fallen in love with the sea. But, after all, that is a formless and disquieting passion. It lacks solid comfort and mutual confidence.The sea is too big for loving, and too uncertain. It will not fit into our thoughts. It has no personality because it has so many. It is a salt abstraction. You might as well think of loving a glittering generality like "America"

In 1993, in the market town of Wimborne Minster in Dorset, England, the heaviest band in the world was born: Electric Wizard. Led by guitarist and singer Jus Oborn, the band inhaled the iniquity of their lives and vomited it out in colossal waves of doom metal, synthesising the forbidding local landscape, biker culture, video-nasties, black magic rituals and titanic doses of psychedelics. Come My Fanatics is the story of the rise and fall and triumphant return of the band, of their revolutionary and mind-expanding output, their legendary and calamitous tours, and of their legacy. It is a kaleidoscopic exploration of the subculture the band has absorbed and, in turn, created. From seventies exploitation cinema, through the writers of Weird Tales magazine and a panoply of the marginal and downright sinister, to the band's own live ceremonial happenings - this is Electric Wizard's world. We're just dying in it.

My name is Bobby Singer. In twenty-four hours I’m gonna lose my memory. So here’s everything you need to know. Monsters, demons, angels, vampires, the boogeyman under your bed: I’ve seen it, I’ve hunted it, I’ve killed it. I’m not the only hunter out here, but there aren’t as many as there used to be. Not near as many as there need to be. I’ve learned everything I can about every damned critter that walks, crawls, or flies, and I’m not gonna let that all be for nothing. I’m not going down without a fight. I’m not letting everything I’ve learned disappear. So that’s what you’re holding in your hands—everything I know. Anything that’d be useful for Sam, Dean, and the hunters that come after me. It’s a guide to hunting...it’s a guide to me. My last will and testament. Ya idjits.

The study investigates how Muslim religious specialists (fuqarâ, sing. fakî) acquire Qur'anic knowledge in the context of the "communities of practice". It contextualises the Qur'anic schools of Jebel Marra in the Sudan arguing that the fuqarâ increase their access to knowledge of the Qur'an by socially interacting with each other. The book is grounded in a ethnographic study of Qur'anic memorisation and activities that the fuqarâ perform after graduation from Qur'anic schools. It thus provides a fresh perspective to Islamic learning and epistemology. "The great value of the study lies in the author's reconstruction of the practices and techniques, cognitive a nd corporeal, which are systematically employed to memorise the whole of the Qur'an." Kurt Beck, University of Bayreuth

Fenster putzen. Muss ich mal wieder machen. Zeitung zerreissen. Rausgehen. Wischen, bis es quietscht … Mit dem von Baustellenstaub getrübten Blick auf leere Berliner Strassen während des ersten Lockdowns beginnt Manja Präkels’ poetisch-essayistische Reise durch die jüngere deutsche Geschichte und Lebenswelten in Stadt und Land. Erinnerungen an die letzten Jahre der DDR, Begegnungen mit Rotarmisten und das Aufwachsen zwischen Neonazis nach 1990 mischen sich mit Besuchen brandenburgischer Flüchtlingsprojekte der Gegenwart und Reisebildern aus ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken. Ein kasachischer IT-Spezialist schwärmt vom Pionierlager am Scharmützelsee. Russische Zuhälter in Transnistrien zeigen stolz ihre falschherum tätowierten Hakenkreuze. Im Rheinsberger Schlosspark bekämpft ein junger Sheriff einen mürrischen Riesen, während im lang geschlossenen Lichtspielhaus Alhambra die Fische singen: „Wer möchte nicht im Leben bleiben?“.
