Fabulating Romania: Review Of Filip Florian’S Little Fingers And Alta Ifland’S Elegy For A Fabulous World, Ania Spyra Oct 2014

Fabulating Romania: Review Of Filip Florian’S Little Fingers And Alta Ifland’S Elegy For A Fabulous World, Ania Spyra

Ania Spyra

In 2007 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania launched a public image campaign in an effort to create a new brand for the country, a brand that would build a positive image, rather than only counteract – defensively – negative stereotypes.

Unsettling The Bildungsroman: Reading Contemporary Ethnic American Women's Fiction, By Stella Bolaki., Ania Spyra Oct 2014

In order to situate her own intervention in this field, she goes back to early definitions of the traditional Bildungsroman, which saw radical individualism and upward mobility as the most desired end of the Bildung’s trajectory.

Memory Of A Racist Past — Yazoo: Integration In A Deep-Southern Town By Willie Morris, Nick J. Sciullo

Nick J. Sciullo

Willie Morris was in many ways larger than life. Born in Jackson, Mississippi, he moved with his family to Yazoo City, Mississippi at the age of six months. He attended and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin where his scathing editorials against racism in the South earned him the hatred of university officials. After graduation, he attended Oxford University on a Rhodes scholarship. He would join Harper’s Magazine in 1963, rising to become the youngest editor-in-chief in the magazine’s history. He remained at this post until 1971 when he resigned amid dropping ad sales and a lack of …
