In the 1910s historian Harry Harootunian's parents Ohannes and Vehanush escaped the mass slaughter of the Armenian genocide, making their way to France, where they first met, before settling in suburban Detroit. Although his parents rarely spoke of their families and the horrors they survived, the genocide and their parents' silence about it was a permanent backdrop to the Harootunian children's upbringing. In The Unspoken as Heritage Harootunian—for the first time in his distinguished career—turns to his personal life and family heritage to explore the genocide's multigenerational afterlives that remain at the heart of the Armenian diaspora. Drawing on novels, anecdotes, and reports, Harootunian presents a composite sketch of the everyday life of his parents, from their childhood in East Anatolia to the difficulty of making new lives in the United States. A meditation on loss, inheritance, and survival—in which Harootunian attempts to come to terms with a history that is just beyond his reach—The Unspoken as Heritage demonstrates how the genocidal past never leaves the present, even in its silence.

Things are not going well for Maansi Cavale. Her depression is worsening, she barely passes her university exams and she winds up stuck at home, full of regret and unable to find a job. She'd do anything for a way out. Though Maansi previously considered arranged marriage an outdated tradition (only to be agreed to if you're in your mid-forties and unable to bag anybody yourself), a chance meeting at an Indian wedding party changes everything. Desperate to escape the shackles of monotony and unemployment, she agrees to marry the handsome and wealthy Aryan Alekar. She convinces herself a new lifestyle and wealth will lift her out of the pit. She secures the marriage, but not before serving up a few lies about herself... As they settle into married life, Aryan remains a mystery to Maansi: some days warm and loving, others cold and distant. Maansi can't help but wonder...who is Aryan Alekar really? And why did he choose to marry so young? While living with Aryan, Maansi realises she could never be satisfied playing housewife. After all, she once had goals and dreams. While searching for the ambition she has buried, Maansi starts to realise that the man she has married is even further from what he seems... Can she salvage their union or will they set each other free? . All the Words Unspoken is a fresh, new voice from debut British-Asian author, Serena Kaur. It is a love story that challenges our preconceptions of relationships and shows us that the choices we make have implications and ramifications far beyond the horizon we can see.

The publication is the first in a new series on existing and innovative paradigms in Heritage Studies. The series aims at systematising and developing the academic discourse on heritage, which has yielded a wealth and breadth of contributions over the past few years. The publication offers its own emphasis by developing heritage studies with a perspective towards and as a contribution to human development. It thus offers a vision for the construction and establishment of a new discipline. The academic mainsprings and research interests of this repositioning of heritage studies as an academic discipline are discussed by internationally renowned thinkers and heritage practitioners. The publication thus establishes first important points for discussion. Central to this publication are questions concerning the sustainable protection and use of heritage, focussing on the world cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage, but equally questions on the relation of heritage and memory and how these could mutually enrich our understanding of heritage.

A descendant of Confederate General Robert E. Lee chronicles his story of growing up with the South's most honored name, and the moments that forced him to confront the privilege, racism, and subversion of human dignity that came with it. With a foreword by Rev. Dr. Bernice A. King. The Reverend Robert W. Lee was a little-known pastor at a small church in North Carolina until the Charlottesville protests, when he went public with his denunciation of white supremacy in a captivating speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. Support poured in from around the country, but so did threats of violence from people who opposed the Reverend's message. In this riveting memoir, he narrates what it was like growing up as a Lee in the South, an experience that was colored by the world of the white Christian majority. He describes the widespread nostalgia for the Lost Cause and his gradual awakening to the unspoken assumptions of white supremacy which had, almost without him knowing it, distorted his values and even his Christian faith. In particular, Lee examines how many white Christians continue to be complicit in a culture of racism and injustice, and how after leaving his pulpit, he was welcomed into a growing movement of activists all across the South who are charting a new course for the region. A Sin by Any Other Name is a love letter to the South, from the South, by a Lee—and an unforgettable call for change and renewal.

"Six Teenagers are about to embark on a journey of a lifetime, and what they learn about their past, will change their future forever." Do you believe in magic? This question has been asked thousands of times, but for six teenagers in Plymouth, Michigan, this question is about to be answered, when they stumble upon an abandoned warehouse and a treasure filled with jewels. The problem: These six teenagers are then propelled to another world, another time, before computers, cell phones, and XBox. The new world they've entered is all about their heritage and learning to accept the past, and when they're pushed to do the right thing and try to reclaim what was stolen from their families years ago, the six teenagers find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime. While they struggle for survival, they learn the true meaning of family, friendship, and loyalty, as they're forced to fight for what they believe in, and soon discover a heritage so strong, it'll change their future forever.

Volume 1 is the product of a personal enquiry by the author into three simple, profound and recurring questions which we all encounter: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? The end result is a road map through especially the last 400 to 500 years of socio-cultural history in South Africa with special emphasis on how the South African people who were called 'coloured' came into being - so named by the white colonial and apartheid system which ruled and dominated South Africa for almost 400 years. Volume 1 is made up of three distinct thematic sections - (1) Ownership to Alienation, (2) Collateral Damage and Disintegration, and (3) Rebuilding a New Future. Section One, Ownership to Alienation, comprises 10 chapters which set the stage and context in which to grapple with coloured identity and heritage through the lenses of colonial strategy as implemented by the respective colonial empires for the past 400 to 500 years of South African history. Section Two, Collateral Damage and Disintegration, comprises eight chapters which track and trace the demise and growing invisibility of coloured people at various levels of society. Topics addressed here include gangsterism, business and a debate about whether there are too many coloureds in Cape Town and should rather be spread out across the country in terms of employment equity. Section Three, Rebuilding a new future, comprises seven chapters which are deliberately restorative in focus. They are also intensely personal and, therefore, auto-ethnographic in orientation. The section is forward-looking with reference to nation-building and claiming the future rather than remaining stuck in the past.
