Podcasts about binti home

Binti is the first of her people to leave her home and receive an education off-planet. In this trilogy of novellas (love that format) we follow Binti, a member of the mysterious Himba people who keep to themselves and preach a strict adherence to culture. This theme of culture comes up many times and is both a hindrance to some and for others the only reason they manage to survive some hairy situations. This award-winning novella series is an intelligent and interesting look into societies and the rules and customs that shape how we live our life and what we see as worthy pursuits. Join Evan and Chad as they bandy back and forth and enjoy not only the format and flow but also the scope of creativity and unique ideas presented in this series by the highly acclaimed, Nnedi Okorafo. As with any great story, however, it remains true that it is most enjoyed with company, so grab some coffee, pretend like you're working and hit play for another exciting episode of Book Reviews Kill!

Intro - Metz introduces a self-destructive performance artist. Content (5:37) - Discussion of Binti, Binti: Home, and Binti: The Night Masquerade by Nnedi Okorafor.

Hello and welcome to Episode Twenty Seven of Page Turn: the Largo Public Library Podcast. I'm your host, Hannah! If you enjoy the podcast subscribe, tell a friend, or write us a review! The Spanish Language Book Review begins at 15:57 and ends 19:40 at The English Language Transcript can be found below But as always we start with Reader's Advisory! The Reader's Advisory for Episode Twenty Seven is Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton. If you like Boy Swallows Universe you should also check out: Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls by T Kira Madden, The Lost Man by Jane Harper, and How it Feels to Float by Helena Fox. My personal favorite Goodreads list Boy Swallows Universe is on is Big Fat Books Worth the Effort. Today’s Library Tidbit is about Reader's Advisory. I figured two years in I could let everyone in on my super secret formula for doing reader’s advisory. First off what is reader’s advisory? Reader’s advisory is pairing readers with materials they might be interested in! Doing reader’s advisory for yourself is a bit different than how I do reader’s advisory for patrons, how I do it for this podcast, and how I train staff members in doing reader’s advisory. I’m going to do a reader’s advisory for myself for one of my favorite science fiction fantasy series, Binti , Binti: Home , and Binti: Night Masquerade by Nnedi Okorafor. The first step of reader’s advisory for the series is to head to our databases and log into NoveList with my library card. Once I’ve pulled up the information about the title I would check out the information available to me about the title. NoveList calls these appeal factors. Now depending on why I liked a book will change which appeal factors I pay attention to for the book. After playing around with the appeal factors and read-a-likes on NoveList and Goodreads I put holds on A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine, How Long Till Black History Month by N. K. Jemisin, and The Deep by Rivers Solomon. If you'd rather a library staff member pick out some suggestions for you, or if you aren't having any luck finding your next read yourself fill out the Reader's Advisory Form to get a list of suggestions. And now it's time for Book Traveler, with Victor: Intro: Welcome to a new edition of Book Traveler. My name is Victor and I am a librarian at the Largo Public Library. Today I'm going to talk to you about a book we have in the Spanish collection titled To Kill A Mockingbird (Graphic Novel) Harper Lee and Fred Fordham. Synopsis: A haunting portrait of race and class, innocence and injustice, hypocrisy and heroism, tradition and transformation in the Deep South of the 1930s, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird remains as important today as it was upon its initial publication in 1960, during the turbulent years of the Civil Rights movement. Now, this most beloved and acclaimed novel is reborn for a new age as a gorgeous graphic novel. Scout, Jem, Boo Radley, Atticus Finch, and the small town of Maycomb, Alabama, are all captured in vivid and moving illustrations by artist Fred Fordham. Enduring in vision, Harper Lee’s timeless novel illuminates the complexities of human nature and the depths of the human heart with humor, unwavering honesty, and a tender, nostalgic beauty. Lifetime admirers and new readers alike will be touched by this special visual edition that joins the ranks of the graphic novel adaptations of A Wrinkle in Time and The Alchemist. Opinion: To Kill a Mockingbird was first published in 1960 and Harper Lee was immediately awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Since then, the novel has very positive praise and it is part of the list of great classics of American literature. The novel tells us the story of a town located in Alabama, during the Great Depression after 1929. The narrator is Scout, a six-year-old girl who explains, with the innocence of her age, the situation of injustice, racism,

We read and discuss the second installment in the Binti trilogy. In this book, Binti: Home, Binti comes back to Earth to go on a Himba woman's pilgrimage, and has to deal with a family who doesn't understand her decisions and a homeland that is hostile to her new friend, the Meduse Okwu.  We continue our discussions of different ways to relate to the idea of technology, whether rural life is necessarily "primitive" and whether that's a useful word in any context, and how Binti's journey is relatable to both of us. We're also doing a bit of an experiment with our structure, walking through the book's entire plot. Let us know if you like it! We also mention this review of Binti: Home at NPR by Amal El-Mohtar. Links to buy the Binti novella's and support the pod are: - Binti- Binti: Home- Binti: The Night Masquerade We'll be back on June 26th to discuss the last Binti novella!

A new month, a new book! Or in this case, series of books. The Binti Trilogy is a set of short novellas by Nnedi Okorafor. Together they are about the same size as a novel (and about the cost). They tell the story of a young woman in Western Africa who gets an invitation to the best university in the galaxy, and leaves everything she knows to attend. However, these aren't your typical chosen one or fish out of water school stories, and they take a lot of unexpected twists and turns along the way. We loved the first two novellas when we read them, and so we're excited to get to re-read and finish the whole trilogy, especially after the diappointment of our last book! In this spoiler-free episode, Adrian and Matt discuss the musical and literary roots of Afrofuturism, Adrian's experience going from a rural town to a major university, and why we love these books so much. Instead of doing one post-read episode this month, we're going to be doing a shorter post-read episode week for a successive novella. The novellas and our schedule are: - Binti (June 12)- Binti: Home (June 19)- Binti: The Night Masquerade (June 26) And some of the other works we mention include: - Afrofuturism by Ytasha L. Womack (highly recommended intro)- Sun Ra & His Archestra- A Love Supreme by John Coltrane- Harnessed the Storm by Drexciya- ATLiens by OutKast- Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious- Dirty Computer by Janelle Monáe (album / movie)- Bloodchild and Lillith's Brood by Octavia Butler- Dhalgren and Nova by Sam Delany- The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemisin- Black Panther by Ryan Coogler (soundtrack by Kendrick Lamar) As always, we'd love to hear from you! Tweet us at @spectologypod, submit the episode at r/printSF, or email us at spectologypod@gmail.com with your thoughts about the book. In particular, check out our twitter this month, where we'll be posting a lot of great Afrofuturist art, music, and other resources.  Many thanks to Dubby J and Noah Bradley for doing our music and art.

Binti: Home doesn't pick up exactly where its Hugo-winning predecessor left off. In that novella, Binti—a brilliant Himba woman in what is possibly a future Namibia—jets off for the galaxy's finest university. The trip goes horrifically wrong, but by the end, she's there, has a new friend, and is ready to start learning. So you might expect the sequel, released yesterday, to cover Binti's first year at school.
