Lessons in love and other crimes / by Chakrabarty, Elizabeth,author.;

Tesya has reasons to feel hopeful after leaving her last job, where she was subjected to a series of anonymous hate crimes. Now she is back home in London to start a new lecturing position, and has begun an exciting, if tumultuous, love affair with the enigmatic Holly. But this idyllic new start quickly sours. Tesya finds herself victimized again at work by an unknown assailant, who subjects her to an insidious, sustained race hate crime. As her paranoia mounts, Tesya finds herself yearning for the most elemental of desires: love, acceptance, and sanctuary. Her assailant, meanwhile, is recording his manifesto, and plotting his next steps. Inspired by the author's personal experiences of hate crime and bookended with essays which contextualise the story within a lifetime of microaggressions, Lessons in Love and Other Crimes is a heart-breaking, hopeful, and compulsively readable novel about the most quotidian of crimes.

Ale wants nothing more than to escape the city for the wide-open spaces of the prestigious Wyder University.

We need to talk about antisemitism / by Fersko, Diana,author.(CARDINAL)872742;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-232) and index.We need to talk about Antisemitism -- We need to talk about Microaggressions -- We need to talk about Christianity -- We need to talk about the Holocaust -- We need to talk about Race -- We need to talk about Israel -- We need to talk about Accountability -- We need to talk about the Future."Every day, Rabbi Diana Fersko fields questions she doesn't know how to answer: "My daughter isn't comfortable being Jewish on campus, do you have a minute to talk?" "Another shooting at a kosher marketplace. Should I be afraid?" Members of her congregation come to her worried and confused, and she lacks a resource she can point to that will help them understand what, exactly, is going on with antisemitism today--until now. We Need to Talk About Antisemitism provides a comprehensive overview of modern antisemitism in all its forms, galvanizing readers to fight for social justice. Drawing on historical research and current events, Fersko takes us through the roots of some of the most pernicious and damaging myths about Jewish people. She unpacks the microaggressions, identity denial, and Christian privilege that many Jews have to contend with, and examines the current American political landscape to condemn the antisemitism of both the far right and the far left. Approachable and ultimately optimistic, We Need to Talk About Antisemitism pairs a serious discussion of an enduring form of hatred with a deep commitment to hope and perseverance. This is a timely read for anyone who wants to learn more about what it means to be a religious minority in America today, and for anyone passionate about fighting injustice in any of its forms"--
