'El verano de Cervantes' es el último libro de Antonio Muñoz Molina (Seix Barral)  y nos lo ha presentando en la biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy. El autor nos lleva a sus lecturas veraniegas del gran clásico de las letras españolas. Es un libro que lee desde niño y a través de sus lecturas nos cuenta episodios de su vida y la relación de Don Quijote de la Mancha con la cultura española y universal. También nos descubre como es un libro donde siempre es verano, solo llueve una vez  o que Cervantes nunca describe el paisaje. Un ensayo apasionante en el que siempre que te pones frente a una obra de Antonio Muñoz Molina aprendes, y no sólo de literatura. Más allá de 'El verano de Cervantes' nos regalo otros dos libros para nuestras estanterías: 'Middlemarch' de George Eliot (Alba Editorial) y 'Antología poética' de Vicent Andrés Estellés (Visor).  Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos trajo tres libros que relaciona con la crisis de la inmigración en Estados Unidos : 'Genealogía' de María Teresa Andruetto y Santiago Guevara (Libros del zorro rojo) , 'Americanah' de Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche (Random House) y 'Solito' de Javier Zamora ( Random House). A estos tres libros Martínez Asensio sumó el libro que nos contará en 'Un libro, una hora', un clasicazo "Celia en la revolución' de Elena Fortún (Renacimiento). Las novedades las trajo Pepe Rubio , dos : 'Aquellas noches eternas' de Silvia Grijalba (Ediciones B)  y 'Apuntes para una despedida" de Javier Serena  (Almadía) . Pascual Donate rescató de nuevo un libro abandona en la redacción de la SER, bueno tres 'Mapas del tesoro' (I, II y III)  de j. Miguel Espinosa Infante (Caligrama).

Part 1 We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Summary"We Should All Be Feminists" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is an essay adapted from her TEDx talk, which provides a personal and passionate perspective on feminism and its relevance in today's world. Key Points of the Essay: Definition of Feminism: Adichie defines feminism as a movement for the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. She emphasizes that feminism is not about disregarding men but about striving for equity in roles, opportunities, and treatment for both genders. Personal Experiences: Through anecdotes from her life in Nigeria, Adichie highlights the subtle and blatant forms of gender discrimination women face. She recounts experiences from childhood to adulthood that illustrate societal expectations and pressures on women and girls, including how they are often discouraged from pursuing ambitious goals compared to their male counterparts. Cultural Conditioning: Adichie discusses how culture plays a significant role in shaping gender norms, asserting that society raises boys and girls differently, leading to power imbalances. She stresses the importance of awareness of these biases to challenge and change them. Importance of Feminism: The essay argues that everyone—regardless of gender—should be involved in feminist activism. Adichie asserts that true equality would benefit all, leading to a more just society. Challenges to Feminism: Adichie addresses common misconceptions about feminism, including the belief that it is a threat to men. She emphasizes that dismantling patriarchal norms can also free men from toxic expectations placed upon them. Call to Action: The essay concludes with a call for collective action against gender inequality. Adichie advocates for education and dialogue about feminism and encourages individuals to stand up against sexism in their daily lives. Overall, "We Should All Be Feminists" is a compelling argument for gender equality, providing insights into the ways in which society can work towards creating a more equitable world.Part 2 We Should All Be Feminists AuthorChimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian author born on September 15, 1977, in Enugu, Nigeria.

From the bestselling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists comes Dream Count, the story of four women and their loves, longings, and desires. The novel reflects on the choices we make and those that are made for us, on daughters and mothers, and on our interconnected world. In conversation with Glory Edim, the founder of Well-Read Black Girl, a literary community dedicated to Black women, and the author most recently of Gather Me: A Memoir in Praise of the Books That Saved Me. This program was held on March 12, 2025 in partnership with Politics and Prose. 

L'Express a interrogé cette semaine, Dmytro Kouleba, ancien ministre ukrainien des Affaires étrangères, il l'était jusqu'en septembre 2024. Un œil avisé auquel l'hebdomadaire a demandé son « analyse sur les négociations en vue d'un cessez-le-feu avec la Russie ». Un œil avisé, et guère optimiste : « s'il l'emporte », dit-il, « Poutine n'aura aucune pitié pour un pays qui a osé lui résister ». « En réalité », ajoute l'ancien ministre, « Poutine n'a pas besoin d'un cessez-le-feu : il veut mettre fin à cette guerre à ses conditions ». Dmytro Kouleba précise aussi qu'il fait partie « d'un courant qui juge que le Kremlin ne veut pas seulement un morceau de territoire, mais toute l'Ukraine. Et que ses ambitions ne s'arrêtent pas en Ukraine, mais concernent aussi l'Europe ». Et l'ancien ministre n'y va pas par quatre chemins. « Bien sûr », dit-il, « on aura du mal à faire croire aux Français que l'armée russe va franchir leurs frontières demain et marcher sur Paris (…) Mais ils peuvent se réveiller un matin et découvrir que des infrastructures cruciales de leur pays (centrales nucléaires, gares ferroviaires, ou encore bases militaires) ont été frappées par des drones à longue portée non identifiés. La Russie dira que ce n'est pas elle. C'est ainsi que la guerre pourrait démarrer ».  InéligibilitéEn France, Marine Le Pen est à la veille d'un jugement décisif. C'est en effet demain que la cheffe du Rassemblement national sera fixée sur son sort, dans l'affaire des assistants parlementaires européens du Front national. « Menacée d'inéligibilité, elle joue son avenir politique », annonce la Tribune Dimanche, à qui Marine le Pen a confié qu'elle n'était « pas fébrile », tout en ajoutant « qu'avec l'exécution provisoire, les juges ont le droit de vie ou de mort sur le Rassemblement National ».  Avec l'exécution provisoire de sa peine, Marine Le Pen deviendrait en effet inéligible, y compris pour la prochaine élection présidentielle en 2027, pour laquelle elle fait souvent figure de favorite. Le Journal du Dimanche publie d'ailleurs un sondage la créditant « de 37 % d'intentions de vote dans l'hypothèse la plus favorable, soit 10 points de plus que son score du premier tour en 2022 ». Dans son éditorial pour la Tribune Dimanche, Bruno Jeudy s'interroge : « n'est-il pas hasardeux, voire périlleux, de confier à des juges le soin de déterminer la capacité de tel ou tel candidat à se présenter devant les électeurs ? »  Et « la tourmente judiciaire ne concerne pas la seule Marine Le Pen », remarque Bruno Jeudy. Cette semaine « la foudre s'est abattue sur Nicolas Sarkozy, avec les 7 ans de prison requis pour le financement de sa campagne présidentielle de 2007 par le pouvoir libyen de Kadhafi ».La loi du plus fortLa justice française remise en cause, mais le Nouvel Obs prend sa défense…« Elle monte, elle monte, la petite musique anti-juges. Elle devient même assourdissante à mesure que le bruit de fond autoritaire s'impose toujours plus dans nos démocraties », estime Cécile Prieur dans son éditorial. « Plus une semaine sans qu'une décision judiciaire ne soit conspuée sur les plateaux de télé, sans que le nom d'un magistrat ne soit jeté en pâture sur les réseaux sociaux, sans que des menaces ne soient proférées dans les tribunaux ». « Or », poursuit Cécile Prieur, « contester le bien-fondé du travail des juges au nom de la souveraineté populaire, c'est saper la séparation des pouvoirs – l'un des piliers de notre démocratie, c'est prétendre que l'élection prime sur toute autre légitimité, c'est favoriser la loi du plus fort ». Le Nouvel Obs a recueilli les propos d'un juge plein de colère. « Taper sur la justice est devenu un sport national », dit-il. « Plus haut, plus fort et personne ne bouge ». Au sujet de l'affaire Marine Le Pen, ce magistrat ne se fait guère d'illusions. « Quoi qu'il arrive, on va encore s'en prendre plein la gueule ».Nafissatou DialloEnfin, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie publie un nouveau livre. « Plus de dix ans après Americanah », annonce le Nouvel Obs « l'écrivaine nigériane revient à la fiction avec un grand roman sur les rêves empêchés de quatre femmes, dont l'une est inspirée de Nafissatou Diallo qui avait accusé Dominique Strauss-Kahn d'agression sexuelle ». « Quand j'ai entendu parler de cette femme de chambre guinéenne », raconte Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, « j'ai immédiatement ressenti une connexion. Une femme d'Afrique de l'Ouest, vivant aux États-Unis, cela m'était familier. J'avais l'impression de la connaître, de la comprendre. J'ai suivi l'affaire Strauss-Kahn de très près, frappée par le gouffre presque dramatique, entre elle et lui, en termes de pouvoir ».  « Mon rêve est qu'elle obtienne justice », ajoute l'écrivaine nigériane, « Mais cela n'arrivera probablement jamais ». « En tout cas », précise Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie « l'idée même d'humaniser un personnage par le biais de la fiction consiste à lui rendre sa dignité. Je ne parle pas seulement de Nafissatou Diallo. Il s'agit de rendre leur dignité aux femmes du monde entier qui ont été déshumanisées parce qu'elles n'ont pas de pouvoir ».

No segundo episódio da série Escritoras Africanas do programa Historicizando, os alunos Enzo Brancher Maragno, Heitor Gromovski e Pedro Henrique Franz apresentam a vida e as obras da escritora nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, autora dos livros Hibisco roxo, Meio sol amarelo, No seu pescoço e Americanah.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ist ein literarischer Star. Nicht nur in ihrem Heimatland Nigeria sondern weltweit. Zwölf Jahre nach ihrem erfolgreichen Roman „Americanah“ ist Anfang des Monats ein neues Buch von ihr erschienen. „Dream Count“ erzählt die Geschichte von vier Frauen zwischen Nigeria und den USA. Diese Woche ist die Schriftstellerin zu Gast in Deutschland. Heute bei der LitCologne, morgen als Gast des Internationalen Literaturfestivals im Berliner Humboldt Forum. Unsere Afrika-Korrespondentin Antje Diekhans ist der Frage nachgegangen, wie ihr neuer Roman auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent gesehen wird und wie wichtig die Autorin als Stimme eines modernen Afrika ist.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Todd Haynes Todd Haynes, independent filmmaker, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. Recorded February 27, 2025. The director of ten feature length films, Todd Haynes is an independent film-maker with his roots in New Queer Cinema. After coming to the attention of the film community with his short film, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, in which the “actors” were Barbie Dolls, he achieved fame with his first feature, Poison, which told three stories in different ways, all of which commented on the AIDS epidemic. He followed that with the much-lauded Safe, and then moved on to mainstream success with the lush melodrama, Far from Heaven. His later films include Velvet Goldmine, focusing on the glam rock era, I'm Not There, in which several actors portrayed Bob Dylan, Carol, Dark Waters, Wonderstruck, and his latest film, May December (Netflix). His documentary, Velvet Underground, is available on Apple Plus. Along the way there was a miniseries, Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet, on HBO (streaming on MAX). All his films are available streaming. The films of Todd Haynes will be shown in a retrospective, “Todd Haynes: Far From Safe,”  through April 12th at BAMPFA, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie hasn't published a novel in more than a decade. After writing literary hits like Americanah and essays like the popular We Should All Be Feminists, the author says she went through a period of writer's block. But now, she's out with a new novel Dream Count that tells the stories of four interconnected women. In today's episode, Adichie speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about a phrase that lodged itself in the author's mind and ultimately served as the book's first line. They also talk about a loss that caused Adichie to question how well she knew herself and a real-life sexual assault case that inspired her to write one of the novel's central characters.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Dreamcount by Chiamanda Ngozi Adichie From award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists. Chiamaka is a Nigerian travel writer living in America. Alone in the midst of the pandemic, she recalls her past lovers and grapples with her choices and regrets. Zikora, her best friend, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until — betrayed and brokenhearted — she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Omelogor, Chiamaka's bold, outspoken cousin, is a financial powerhouse in Nigeria who begins to question how well she knows herself. And Kadiatou, Chiamaka's housekeeper, is proudly raising her daughter in America – but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve. In Dream Count, Adichie trains her fierce eye on these women in a sparkling, transcendent novel that takes up the very nature of love itself. Presumed Guilty by Scott Turow New from the author of Presumed Innocent, the #1 bestseller that redefined the legal thriller and is the basis for Apple TV+'s most-watched drama series ever (starring Jake Gyllenhaal). In Presumed Guilty, Rusty is a retired judge attempting a third act in life with a loving soon-to-be wife, Bea, with whom he shares both a restful home on an idyllic lake in the rural Midwest and a plaintive hope that this marriage will be his best, and his last.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a week in which the election race was all but confirmed as a Biden-Trump rematch, pundits - and likely many voters - were listening and watching closely to the current president's State of the Union address. They were met with a fiery address, as Biden weaved between issues including the economy, the border, the Middle East, and even his own age. So, have Democratic fears been allayed? What does the address signal for the next 8 months of campaigning?

The feminist manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions was written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a Nigerian novelist, nonfiction writer, and short story writer. Adichie is a vocal feminist, and her work often explores themes of gender, race, and identity. She is the author of several award-winning novels, including "Americanah," "Half of a Yellow Sun," and "Purple Hibiscus." She is also the author of the nonfiction book "We Should All Be Feminists," which was adapted into a TED Talk that has been viewed over 10 million times. The feminist manifesto in fifteen suggestions was originally published as a letter to Adichie's friend, Ijeawele, who had asked for advice on how to raise her daughter as a feminist. The letter was later published as a standalone book in 2017. Adichie's manifesto is a powerful and inspiring guide to raising a feminist daughter. It is a must-read for all parents, regardless of their gender or the gender of their child.

Emma Barnett hears from one of the women alleging she was assaulted by Russell Brand. Speaking for the first time since accusations became public, 'Alice', who has accused Russell Brand of sexual assault when she was a teenager, says Brand's emphatic denial of the allegations of rape and sexual abuse against him is "insulting". 'Alice', who had a relationship with Brand when she was 16 and he was 30, says she wants to start a conversation about changing the age of consent. On her first day back at the Woman's Hour helm after maternity leave, Emma gets some advice and reflection from someone who returned to work after a similar break, the global literary force that is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Author of bestselling books including Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah, plus essays and short stories, she has just released her first children's book, Mama's Sleeping Scarf. You'll no doubt be familiar with the book Frankenstein - but how much do you know about its author Mary Shelley? That's a question that led director, Lucy Speed, and producer, Deborah Clair, to write, direct and produce their new play that's about to start touring in the UK. Conception - Mary Shelley: The Making of a Monster tells the story of a journey of self-discovery, as the Frankenstein author returns, years later, to Lake Geneva where she wrote her famous novel. The play is hitting the stage around the 200th anniversary of the first publication of the novel under Mary Shelley's name - having originally been published anonymously. Artist and author Fleur Pierets embarked on a performance art project with her wife, Julian, in 2017, aiming to get married in all the countries where same-sex marriage was legal at the time. But their dream was cut short when Julian was diagnosed with late-stage brain cancer in early 2018 and died six weeks later. It's a story Fleur has put down on paper in her book, Julian, which has just been translated into English and released in the UK. Since the 1980s, the comedian and actor Doon Mackichan has been a TV regular, starring in programmes like Two Doors Down, Smack the Pony and Brass Eye. She has also played plenty of roles on stage. She dissects how today's culture still expects women to adhere to stereotypes, some of which she refuses to act out, as described in her memoir, My Lady Parts.

'Alice', who had a relationship with Brand when she was 16 and he was 30, says she wants to start a conversation about changing the age of consent. One woman who spoke out earlier this year is the TV producer turned novelist and screenwriter Daisy Goodwin. She accused Daniel Korski, a former special advisor who was in the running at the time to be Conservative candidate for London Mayor, of groping her at an event in 10 Downing Street in 2013. Daniel Korski vehemently denies this and subsequent allegations of sexual misconduct. Daisy joins Emma in studio. On her first day back at the Woman's Hour helm after maternity leave, Emma gets some advice and reflection from someone who returned to work after a similar break, the global literary force that is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Author of bestselling books including Half of a Yellow Sun and Americanah, plus essays and short stories, she has just released her first children's book, Mama's Sleeping Scarf. Fearless is the title of the new book from make-up business owner and makeover specialist Trinny Woodall. You'll probably know Trinny best for her show What Not To Wear, alongside best friend Susannah Constantine in the early 2000s. Trinny has more recently launched a multi-million pound make-up business and skincare company, Trinny London. She speaks to Emma about reinventing herself in her 50s.

L'éducation autour de l'égalité filles/garçons à l'école Anaïs, professeure d'anglais, propose à ses élèves de réécrire les contes traditionnels. Bénédicte, professeure de littérature, intègre à son programme de très nombreux textes d'autrices féministes. En cours d'espagnol, Sébastien, invite ses élèves à réfléchir aux notions de masculinités et de virilité. Natacha, enseignante de SVT, étudie avec elles et eux les différences biologiques entre hommes et femmes, qui sont vraiment peu de chose si on compare aux différences socialement construites… Au lycée Léon Blum, une petite équipe d'enseignants et d'enseignantes déterminées, ont décidé de porter les questions d'égalité au cœur du lycée. Avec leurs élèves, ils et elles mettent en place de nombreux projets : semaines de l'égalité, affiches informatives sur les questions de genre, actions et manifestations dans l'établissement pour sensibiliser aux violences sexistes et sexuelles. Avec une vingtaine d'élèves, ils et elles ont aussi créé les égaux délégués : profs et élèves se réunissent régulièrement pour échanger sur les questions d'égalité, de féminisme et de genre. Un aperçu des réflexions en cours sur ce que pourrait être une école féministe dans une institution pourtant souvent encore frileuse.

Allie and Rach discus Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

In this episode, I attempt to explain my perspective on the immigrant experience. I have struggled with how to explain this all my life. I share the complex feelings that come up when I visit my  home in Lithuania. It feels impossible to explain my life as an immigrant in the United States to people in Lithuania and it feels impossible to explain life in Lithuania to people in the US. There are so many cultural differences that it is difficult for people to understand.My experience helps me understand my students' immigrant perspective to an extent, but each story is so different. People immigrate to the United States for a variety of reasons and we cannot assume we know what they have been through. Immigrant students often have difficulty connecting with American youth because of these drastically different life experiences. Thinking about the perspective of an immigrant reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Atticus Finch, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”There are a few books I recommend for anyone trying to shift their perspective about the immigrant experiences: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This is a story about a Nigerian Woman who leaves Nigeria to work and study in America. It addresses questions of race,  belonging, diaspora, and longing for home.All the Rivers by Dorit Rabinyan. This is a controversial love story about an Israeli woman and a Palistinian man, only possible far away from both of their homes.The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. This is another love story under impossible conditions, told from the perspective of a Fig Tree.What you will hear about an Immigrant's perspective:My experience as a Lithuanian immigrant living in the USMy perspective on what it is like trying to explain another culture to someoneChallenges that some of my students experiences as they adjust to American culture3 Books that I have read and recommend for a perspective shift.ResourcesAs mentioned in the episode, I am linking some useful resources!The ESL Teaching Roadmap – membership community for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.

Melanie Jacob (she/her/hers) is a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Consultant (DEI&B). She holds a BA (Hons.) in French & Spanish from the University of the West Indies and an MA in Communications, Media & Public Relations from the University of Leicester. Originally from the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia, she has lived in Barbados, Martinique, Lyon and now, Paris. As a result of her diverse personal and professional experiences, she became intent on exploring matters surrounding intersectional feminism, discrimination and media representation. This is what led her to launch Melanie Jacob Consulting. As an experienced DEI&B specialist, she advises multinational companies – through webinars, workshops and one-on-one coaching – on how to create and implement best practice strategies that focus on amplifying and respecting the uniqueness of each individual's background. In this episode we speak about Melanie's work as a DEI&B consultant, the story behind choosing this path in her professional life which is linked to her personal life, because we all know that the personal is political. We speak about racism, sexism, feminism, diversity washing, and misogynoir, about Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie and her book Americanah and we speak about black hair - a topic that is inextricably linked to historical, structural and racial discrimination. A subject that is part of the long-lasting intention to control black and brown bodies and further reflects the predominance of Eurocentric beauty standards. Thank you Melanie.  Host: Stella Saliari At Salt the Podcast my guests and I contest and deconstruct narratives, and passionately recreate with the aim to change systems and perceptions. We want to elevate a generation that is feminist, antiracist and empathetic. Our conversations flow into each other and leave room for the unexpected. Salt is love, community, solidarity, a collective, healing, creating. It is intersectional, full of stories, movement and change. It insists, evolves and transforms.

Special double guest episode! Our guests today have been close friends for many years, they are both actors but their paths have been very different, none the less they have been through the ups and downs together. Osy Ikhile has worked with some of the best know directors working today, including Ron Howard, Christopher McQuarrie, Lars Von Trier and David Yates. He is probably best know for "Legend of Tarzan", "Black Mirror"  and  "In the Heart of the Sea". Zackary Momoh has  had an incredibly fast trajectory over the last handful of years, he's be pivotal in series such as Netflix's "Seven Seconds", HBO's The Nevers and yet to be released "Americanah". He has also starred in "Doctor Sleep" opposite Ewan McGregor and "Harriet" alongside Cynthia Erivo, both released in the same year. Host - Elliot James Langridge Citadel (Amazon) and The Nevers (HBO) season 2 will be released in 2022

Welcome back to The O2Lit Podcast! This week, the conversation will be one of introspection. Drawing from Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie's “Americanah”, this episode's discussion will touch on topics, such as: Identity, Romantic Love, Cultural Criticism, and much more! CrockP (@crockp_) on the vibes. It's lit.

Candace believes in the magic a story can hold. Each week she will share a personal story, a guest interview or a conversation on various topics that will leave you enlightened, ignited and inspired.  Her hope is that you walk away from every episode changed, even if it's in the most subtle way. Follow Candace on IG

Welcome back to The Community Library! It's been a rough week for Melbourne (where I live), so this week, I've been thinking a lot about things that make me happy. I've been baking, knitting, and watching lots of Masterchef. So, in the spirit of staying positive, today I'm going to review three books I recently read and loved: Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown, The Children's Book by A. S. Byatt, and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I hope you enjoy! The book club pick for this month is Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, and we will be discussing this on the podcast on the 26th of July – exactly two weeks away! Please read along with us so you can join in on the discussion!
