| xem phim 12 years a slave: Paris Trong Hộp Giày Mai Thanh Nga, Paris Trong Hộp Giày là tập truyện ngắn của tác giả Mai Thanh Nga được NXB Văn Học và Công ty First News – Trí Việt liên kết phát hành vừa ra mắt bạn đọc trong tháng 10 này. Tập truyện với 10 truyện ngắn và 1 truyện dài, đều là những câu chuyện được lấy bối cảnh Paris với nhân vật chính trong đó là những người Paris gốc Việt. Không như những tác phẩm văn học khác viết về người Việt sống tại Paris, nếu không tô hồng bởi màu sắc lung linh của “Kinh đô ánh sáng này” thì cũng nặng trĩu những mảnh đời xa xứ, Paris trong hộp giày của Mai Thanh Nga lại mang đến cho độc giả cảm giác hiện đại, tươi mới của đời sống người Việt ở thành phố hiện đại nhất châu Âu này. Có một không khí, tinh thần lãng đãng trong từng câu chuyện khiến tất cả những nhân vật người Việt trong tập truyện đều như là những con người châu Âu thuần túy, họ cũng có những vấn đề trong cuộc sống, những quan hệ tình cảm… như bao người bản xứ, có chăng khoác bên ngoài họ là người Việt, với tên Việt và định hình là người da vàng mắt đen. Truyện ngắn của Mai Thanh Nga, thoạt đọc qua đều vô cùng giản dị với những câu chuyện đời sống rất bình thường, đôi khi được kể không đầu không cuối. Đó là suy tư của hai người bạn gái trong một buổi kẹt xe ở Paris (Có gì ở Paris), khung cảnh trong một chuyến bay khuya (Bay đêm), những ước mơ thậm chí còn không định hình của một cặp vợ chồng trẻ (Sống trong hộp giày); hay chuyện một thanh niên trên đường về nhà phải nghe tâm sự của một chàng trai gốc Phi suýt trở thành tội phạm (Ngồi khóc trước cửa)… Dù chẳng kịch tính, lên gân hoặc tô điểm phù hoa, nhưng mỗi câu chuyện đều mang lại sự cuốn hút nhất định. Không kỳ vọng mang lại thông điệp gì rõ ràng hoặc “ghê gớm”, truyện của Mai Thanh Nga vẫn khiến người đọc phải “vương vướng” những suy tư. Bởi ai cũng có thể tìm thấy những trăn trở của mình trong từng nhịp đời hiện ra trên từng trang sách. Có tuổi trẻ đã trôi qua theo thời gian, có những mộng mơ đã ra đi nhường chỗ cho đời cơm áo, hay có những nghĩ lại về đời sống của những người thân khi họ đã ra đi (truyện Chiếc hộp của bố)… Ẩn dụ trong từng câu chuyện có chăng là những dẫn dắt về truyền thuyết trong thần thoại, văn học, phim ảnh… và cũng để độc giả tự “link” đến. Những câu chuyện trong Paris trong hộp giày như được đựng trong một chiếc hộp đang chờ bạn đọc mở nắp. Dù có thể mang lại cảm giác khác nhau, sẽ là bức bối, chật chội như trong một chiếc hộp, hoặc thú vị, tươi tắn ùa ra trong những bất ngờ… nhưng vượt lên trên hết, khi “đóng nắp hộp” lại, chiếc hộp ấy không làm bạn đọc yêu văn chương thất vọng |
| xem phim 12 years a slave: Slavery by Another Name Douglas A. Blackmon, 2012-10-04 A Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the mistreatment of black Americans. In this 'precise and eloquent work' - as described in its Pulitzer Prize citation - Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history - an 'Age of Neoslavery' that thrived in the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II. Using a vast record of original documents and personal narratives, Blackmon unearths the lost stories of slaves and their descendants who journeyed into freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation and then back into the shadow of involuntary servitude thereafter. By turns moving, sobering and shocking, this unprecedented account reveals these stories, the companies that profited the most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today. |
| xem phim 12 years a slave: Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings Annette Gordon-Reed, 1997 Rumors of Thomas Jefferson's sexual involvement with his slave Sally Hemings have circulated for two centuries. It remains, among all aspects of Jefferson's renowned life, perhaps the most hotly contested topic. With Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, Annette Gordon-Reed promises to intensify this ongoing debate as she identifies glaring inconsistencies in many noted scholars' evaluations of the existing evidence. She has assembled a fascinating and convincing argument: not that the alleged thirty-eight-year liaison necessarily took place but rather that the evidence for its taking place has been denied a fair hearing. Possessing both a layperson's unfettered curiosity and a lawyer's logical mind, Annette Gordon-Reed writes with a style and compassion that are irresistible. Her analysis is accessible, with each chapter revolving around a key figure in the Hemings drama. The resulting portraits are engrossing and very personal. Gordon-Reed also brings a keen intuitive sense of the psychological complexities of human relationships - relationships that, in the real world, often develop regardless of status or race. The most compelling element of all, however, is her extensive and careful research, which often allows the evidence to speak for itself. |

| xem phim 12 years a slave: Data Feminism Catherine D'Ignazio, Lauren F. Klein, 2023-10-03 Cutting edge strategies for thinking about data science and data ethics through an intersectional feminist lens. “Without ever finger-wagging, Data Feminism reveals inequities and offers a way out of a broken system in which the numbers are allowed to lie.”—WIRED Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? The narratives around big data and data science are overwhelmingly white, male, and techno-heroic. In Data Feminism, Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein present a new way of thinking about data science and data ethics—one that is informed by intersectional feminist thought. Illustrating data feminism in action, D'Ignazio and Klein show how challenges to the male/female binary can help challenge other hierarchical (and empirically wrong) classification systems. They explain how, for example, an understanding of emotion can expand our ideas about effective data visualization, and how the concept of invisible labor can expose the significant human efforts required by our automated systems. And they show why the data never, ever “speak for themselves.” Data Feminism offers strategies for data scientists seeking to learn how feminism can help them work toward justice, and for feminists who want to focus their efforts on the growing field of data science. But Data Feminism is about much more than gender. It is about power, about who has it and who doesn't, and about how those differentials of power can be challenged and changed. |

| xem phim 12 years a slave: The White Tiger Aravind Adiga, 2008-04-22 NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The stunning Booker Prize–winning novel from the author of Amnesty and Selection Day that critics have likened to Richard Wright’s Native Son, The White Tiger follows a darkly comic Bangalore driver through the poverty and corruption of modern India’s caste society. “This is the authentic voice of the Third World, like you've never heard it before” (John Burdett, Bangkok 8). The white tiger of this novel is Balram Halwai, a poor Indian villager whose great ambition leads him to the zenith of Indian business culture, the world of the Bangalore entrepreneur. On the occasion of the president of China’s impending trip to Bangalore, Balram writes a letter to him describing his transformation and his experience as driver and servant to a wealthy Indian family, which he thinks exemplifies the contradictions and complications of Indian society. Recalling The Death of Vishnu and Bangkok 8 in ambition, scope, The White Tiger is narrative genius with a mischief and personality all its own. Amoral, irreverent, deeply endearing, and utterly contemporary, this novel is an international publishing sensation—and a startling, provocative debut. |

| xem phim 12 years a slave: Long Walk to Freedom Nelson Mandela, 2008-03-11 Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand history – and then go out and change it. –President Barack Obama Nelson Mandela was one of the great moral and political leaders of his time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. After his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela was at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is still revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality. Long Walk to Freedom is his moving and exhilarating autobiography, destined to take its place among the finest memoirs of history's greatest figures. Here for the first time, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela told the extraordinary story of his life -- an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph. The book that inspired the major motion picture Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. |

| xem phim 12 years a slave: Race on Trial Annette Gordon-Reed, 2002-09-05 This book of twelve original essays will bring together two themes of American culture: law and race. The essays fall into four groups: cases that are essential to the history of race in America; cases that illustrate the treatment of race in American history; cases of great fame that became the trials of the century of their time; and cases that made important law. Some of the cases discussed include Amistad, Dred Scott, Plessy v. Ferguson, Scottsboro, Korematsu v. US, Brown v. Board, Loving v. Virginia, Regents v. Bakke, and OJ Simpson. All illustrate how race often determined the outcome of trials, and how trials that confront issues of racism provide a unique lens on American cultural history. Cases include African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Caucasians. Contributors include a mix of junior and senior scholars in law schools and history departments. |
| xem phim 12 years a slave: Sex Trafficking Siddharth Kara, 2017-08-29 “The best book ever written on human trafficking for sexual exploitation”—the basis for the feature film, Trafficked, starring Ashley Judd (Kevin Bales, president of Free the Slaves). Every year, hundreds of thousands of women and children are abducted, deceived, seduced, or sold into forced prostitution. These trafficked sex slaves form the backbone of one of the world’s most profitable illicit enterprises and generate huge profits for their exploiters, for unlike narcotics, which must be grown, harvested, refined, and packaged, sex slaves require no such “processing,” and can be repeatedly “consumed.” In this book, Kara provides a riveting account of his four-continent journey into this unconscionable industry, sharing the moving stories of its victims and revealing the shocking conditions of their exploitation. He draws on his background in finance, economics, and law to provide the first ever business analysis of contemporary slavery worldwide, focusing on its most profitable and barbaric form: sex trafficking. Kara describes the local factors and global economic forces that gave rise to this and other forms of modern slavery over the past two decades and quantifies, for the first time, the size, growth, and profitability of each industry. Finally, he identifies the sectors of the sex trafficking industry that would be hardest hit by specifically designed interventions and recommends the specific legal, tactical, and policy measures that would target these vulnerable sectors and help to abolish this form of slavery, once and for all. The author will donate a portion of the proceeds of this book to the anti-slavery organization, Free the Slaves. “Sex trafficking is more of a problem than most people realize. Read this well-written book and find out.”—Kirk Douglas |

| xem phim 12 years a slave: Loaded marquis de Sade, 1991-07-04 The 120 Days of Sodom is the Marquis de Sade's masterpiece. A still unsurpassed catalogue of sexual perversions and the first systematic exploration of the psychopathology of sex, it was written during Sade's lengthy imprisonment for sexual deviancy and blasphemy and then lost after the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution in 1789. Later rediscovered, the manuscript remained unpublished until 1936 and is now introduced by Simone de Beauvoir's landmark essay, 'Must We Burn Sade?' Unique in its enduring capacity to shock and provoke, The 120 Days of Sodom must stand as one of the most controversial books ever written, and a fine example of the Libertine novel, a genre inspired by eroticism and anti-establishmentarianism, that effectively ended with the French Revolution. |

| xem phim 12 years a slave: White Dog Romain Gary, 2004-12 Both a personal memoir and a French novelist's encounter with American reality, White Dog is an unforgettable portrait of racism and hypocrisy. Set in the tumultuous Los Angeles of 1968, Romain Gary's story begins when a German shepherd strays into his life: He was watching me, his head cocked to one side, with that unbearable intensity of dogs in the pound waiting for a rescuer. A lost police canine, this white dog is programmed to respond violently to the sight of a black man and Gary's attempts to deprogram it—like his attempts to protect his wife, the actress Jean Seberg; like her endeavors to help black activists; like his need to rescue himself from the predicament of being trapped, lock, stock and barrel within a human skin—lead from crisis to grief. Using the re-education of this adopted pet as a metaphor for the need to quash American racism, Gary develops a domestic crisis into a full-scale social allegory. |

In this milestone of Holocaust literature, Thomas Keneally, author of The Book of Science and Antiquities and The Daughter of Mars, uses the actual testimony of the Schindlerjuden—Schindler’s Jews—to brilliantly portray the courage and cunning of a good man in the midst of unspeakable evil. “Astounding…in this case the truth is far more powerful than anything the imagination could invent” (Newsweek). |

| xem phim 12 years a slave: Sex, Power, and Slavery Gwyn Campbell, Elizabeth Elbourne, 2014-12-10 Sexual exploitation was and is a critical feature of enslavement. Across many different societies, slaves were considered to own neither their bodies nor their children, even if many struggled to resist. At the same time, paradoxes abound: for example, in some societies to bear the children of a master was a potential route to manumission for some women. Sex, Power, and Slavery is the first history of slavery and bondage to take sexuality seriously. Twenty-six authors from diverse scholarly backgrounds look at the vexed, traumatic intersections of the histories of slavery and of sexuality. They argue that such intersections mattered profoundly and, indeed, that slavery cannot be understood without adequate attention to sexuality. Sex, Power, and Slavery brings into conversation historians of the slave trade, art historians, and scholars of childhood and contemporary sex trafficking. The book merges work on the Atlantic world and the Indian Ocean world and enables rich comparisons and parallels between these diverse areas.

The politically incorrect plots jump merrily from one outrage to another, never pausing to explain motivation or linger on subtext.

No playwright applies as ruthlessly Hitchcock's definition of drama as 'life with the boring parts taken out.'—The New York Times Interracial couple Jerry and Pat borrow tools from their recently widowed, white evangelical neighbor James, and they even share the same Latino contractor, the mysterious Fred. Everything's suburban bliss until James, after discovering his neighbors' daughter Janet is a budding porn star, shuns the family. But what James doesn't know is that his aspiring-filmmaker son Matthew has other ideas... An outrageous and revealing comedy about race, sex, and familiarity, Intimacy, the newest work by playwright Thomas Bradshaw, premiered Off-Broadway with The New Group in winter 2014. This collection from the fiercely provocative and funny playwright also includes Dawn, Fulfillment, Southern Promises, Job, Strom Thurmond Is Not a Racist, Lecture on the Blues and Purity. Thomas Bradshaw's other plays include The Bereaved, declared a New York Times Critic's Pick and one of the Best Plays of 2009 by Time Out New York; Mary; and Burning.

| xem phim 12 years a slave: The Tale Of Benjamin Bunny Beatrix Potter, 2021-04-10 The Tale of Benjamin Bunny is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in September 1904. A sequel to The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), it tells of Peter's return to Mr. McGregor's garden with his cousin Benjamin to retrieve the clothes he lost there during his earlier adventure. In Benjamin Bunny, Beatrix developed the rabbit universe she created in Peter Rabbit, and in doing so suggested that the rabbit world was parallel to the human world, but complete and sufficient unto itself. Benjamin Bunny was an instant commercial and popular success, and thousands of copies were in print by the end of 1904. The Times Literary Supplement thought Beatrix's illustrations pencil perfect, [1] but suggested that she engage a literary assistant for future productions. Beatrix created a nursery wallpaper tapping Benjamin's image, [2] and he returned as an adult rabbit in the Flopsy Bunnies and Mr. Tod. Benjamin Bunny was adapted in 1992 as an episode of the BBC animated television series The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends. |

The film follows the experience of Solomon Northup (Ejiofor), an African-American living with a wife and two children in Saratoga, New York, who is kidnapped and sold into slavery by men claiming to offer him work as a circus musician. Transported by ship to New Orleans, it isn't long before he is given a new name and sold to William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch), a relatively empathetic slave owner. But confrontations with the cruel and violent overseer John Tibeats (Paul Dano) leads to Solomon being passed on by Ford to the extremely abusive and alcoholic planter Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender), who rules his slaves with a whip in one hand and a Bible in the other. Believing the only hope of regaining his freedom is to remain passive for the time being, Solomon ceases fighting against the illegitimacy of his situation until salvation is offered to him by a kindly labourer named Bas. |
