GRANDMAS PROJECT Au cœur des cuisines de nos grands-mères, Jonas Parienté nous invite à un voyage culinaire et émotionnel. Inspiré de sa série documentaire collaborative largement acclamée, Grandmas Project, ce livre de cuisine unique rassemble des recettes authentiques et des histoires captivantes de grands-mères venant des quatre coins du globe. Chaque chapitre retrace l’histoire du projet et met en lumière les grands-mères et leurs recettes signatures, transmises de génération en génération. De la chaleur des cuisines méditerranéennes aux épices exotiques d’Asie, en passant par les saveurs riches d’Amérique latine et les traditions culinaires européennes, ce livre est une célébration de la diversité culturelle et de l’héritage familial, comme autant de témoignages d’identités et de vies, parfois empreintes du souvenir de l’exil. Les recettes, illustrées de magnifiques photographies et accompagnées de récits personnels, offrent bien plus que des instructions culinaires. Elles dévoilent et transmettent des souvenirs précieux, ces anecdotes familiales et ces moments que l’on aime partager autour de la table.

Uruguay

Autor: Peter V.n. Henderson

Número de Páginas: 249

Peter V. N. Henderson provides a sweeping look at Uruguay's political, economic, and social history from colonial times to the twenty-first century within a transnational context. This book dives into the country's unique history that resulted in its nickname as “the Switzerland of South America” because of its broad democracy, balanced economy, sizable middle class, secular values, higher literacy rates, and generous and inclusive social legislation. Uruguay's origin is richly detailed, from its pre-colonial roots as Banda Oriental, to European colonization and the Spanish settlement of Montevideo, to the legendary caudillos Juan Lavalleja and Manuel Oribe and the creation of the independent state of Uruguay in 1828. Like other Latin American countries, it struggled with state formation. Then, a major change occurred at the end of the nineteenth century: policies following trends of modernization drastically overhauled the nation's economic and social infrastructure and a national identity emerged in poetry and the arts. This book dives into the presidency of José Batlle y Ordóñez, the country's involvement in World War II, and its economic and political collapse and...

The Holocaust and the Nakba

Autor: Bashir Bashir , Amos Goldberg

Número de Páginas: 668

In this groundbreaking book, leading Arab and Jewish intellectuals examine how and why the Holocaust and the Nakba are interlinked without blurring fundamental differences between them. While these two foundational tragedies are often discussed separately and in abstraction from the constitutive historical global contexts of nationalism and colonialism, The Holocaust and the Nakba explores the historical, political, and cultural intersections between them. The majority of the contributors argue that these intersections are embedded in cultural imaginations, colonial and asymmetrical power relations, realities, and structures. Focusing on them paves the way for a new political, historical, and moral grammar that enables a joint Arab-Jewish dwelling and supports historical reconciliation in Israel/Palestine. This book does not seek to draw a parallel or comparison between the Holocaust and Nakba or to merely inaugurate a “dialogue” between them. Instead, it searches for a new historical and political grammar for relating and narrating their complicated intersections. The book features prominent international contributors, including a foreword by Lebanese novelist Elias Khoury on ...

Nationalism, Zionism and ethnic mobilization of the Jews in 1900 and beyond [electronic resource]

Autor: Michael Berkowitz

Número de Páginas: 338

European, US, and Israeli historians and social scientists try to skirt the political controversies involved in the origin of Israel to offer academic perspectives on Jewish nationalism, of which Zionism comprised a prominent alternative beginning in the late 19th century. They look in particular at aspects that have been undervalued in examining J.
