Children who have learned the hand motions to the song will enjoy helping the characters in the book enact their own roles. Zelinsky's warm, inviting illustrations are a perfect match for this classic play rhyme. The popular song The Wheels on the Bus has a catchy tune, and with its accompanying hand movements, it is addictive to little children. Pull one tab to make the "wipers on the bus go swish swish swish," and another to see the "babies on the bus cry Waah! Waah! Waah!" On closer inspection, children will be tickled to discover several subtle and humorous subplots, as well as a full-circle finale: the last stop on the bus is at the Overtown public library, where the day's program includes a folk singer. Fantastic paper engineering with movable parts, flaps, and wheels that spin makes this an interactive book that young readers will love to pieces (maybe literally!).

The bourgeois sees in his wife a mere instrument of production. When Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto in 1848, ideas of womens liberation were already a central part of revolutionary socialist theory: Their analysis of womens oppression was not something that was tagged on as an afterthought to their analysis of class society but was integral to it from the very beginning. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels located the origin of womens oppression in the rise of class society. This, the "woman question," has been a source of controversy for well over a century. HOW CAN we end womens oppression? This question can only be answered by posing yet another question: why are women oppressed? Unless we determine the source of womens oppression, we dont know who or what needs changing. ![]() Sharon Smith is a regular columnist for Socialist Worker and the author of a forthcoming book on Marxism and womens liberation, to be published by the Center for Economic Research and Social Change.

Tears are the only words the unknown can speak, the language of silence. Because of this beauty, my ears are incapable of even hearing the noise, my eyes are lling with tears. ![]() Mary Lynn Bracht’s debut novel excels at shedding light on a relatively untold story, at least in the Western world, of the thousands of Korean women and girls who were sold into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during Japan’s colonisation of Korea in the second World War. The host, the guest, the white chrysanthemum. It is a fitting metaphor for the horrific abuse that follows as Hana is kidnapped from a beach by Japanese soldiers after heroically hiding her younger sister Emi. Like many young women in her village, Hana has left school and embraced her Korean heritage as a haenyeo, a girl or woman who supports her family by diving deep into freezing waters to search for abalone or oysters, the latter a rarity following years of plundering by Japanese seamen. Suspenseful, hopeful, and ultimately redemptive, White Chrysanthemum tells a story of two sisters whose love for each other is strong enough to triumph over the grim evils of war. Sixteen-year-old Hana has lived her entire life under Japanese occupation, schooled through a foreign tongue that denies her native language and culture. ![]() ![]() And now she’s dead.Įach chapter of Hurricane Seasonis, in part, a self-contained story.

In fact, this is one of Melchor’s great achievements: turning the book into a spiteful character in its own right. Not only are the characters of Hurricane Seasondeceptive and mischievous, but so is the book itself. ![]() ![]() ![]() Coetzee shows the detrimental effect social and political changes can have on both the privileged and the underprivileged within a flawed society, specifically in areas of race and patriarchy. ![]() Through the exploration of racial and sexual relationships juxtaposed alongside a constant reminder of South Africa’s dark history, David Lurie has a dramatic identity change. However, what sets Disgrace apart is the way in which Coetzee explores these themes through his white protagonist, David Lurie, and the suffering he inflicts and experiences first hand as a result of prejudiced socio-political agendas. Coetzee’s controversial novel Disgrace (1999) explores many of the conventional themes one would expect from a novel set in post-apartheid South Africa, from racial discrimination to injustice. I will analyse the suffering that Lurie both inflicts and experiences, including his ‘disgrace’ at the beginning of the novel before exploring how and why he reaches a new state of grace and serenity in the novel’s closing chapter. This essay explores these issues in direct response and correlation to David Lurie. Coetzee explores discrimination, both of a racial and sexual kind, as well as motifs of violence linked back to South Africa’s history.
