Happily married and
pregnant with her first child, artist Kali Miller probes Lillian Campbell, her
ninety-three year old grandmother, for information about her roots and her
mother's accidental death. Kali's questions intensify the profound paranoia
that has dominated her grandmother's adult life -- that someone from the past
has found her - and with Kali's demand for the truth, Lillian sinks into a life
of nightmares and paralyzing fear. Will her life in 1930's Berlin, her loves
and lies, and the true meaning of the small painting that she has hidden for
more than seventy years be exposed to reveal the hideous secret that has
haunted Lillian to this day? Or will the hunt to uncover her past lead to the
imminent murder of Lillian and her pregnant granddaughter? Perhaps murder is
the only means to keep Kali and her unborn child from a future that no one in
the world would ever want to face? Discover what happens in The
Devil’s Madonna (Oceanview, $25.95) by
Sharon Potts.
Start: 8:00 pm
Engaging
with recent scholarly debates surrounding the formation of collective
transnational identities, this collection draws on the latest empirical case
studies to explore the meaning and composition of European identity, the
mechanisms that create and shape it and the question of whom it includes. Each
author pays close attention to the cultural aspects of identity formation,
whether manifested in official, institutional articulations, such as symbols,
coinage, ceremonies and discursive manifestations, or in the cultures of the
everyday, such as through new forms of communication networks, consumption or
leisure. Edited by Drs. Rebecca Friedman and Markus Thiel, European Identity and Culture
is a rich, interdisciplinary investigation of the role of culture in the
formation of European identity, whether as a central building block to unity or
as a formidable obstacle to a common sense of purpose, this book will be of
interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities working on
questions of political culture, European integration, citizenship and (trans-)
national identity. Presented in
collaboration with Florida International University’s School for International
and Public Affairs.
