De son île natale au sol français, de ses premiers émois à ses déceptions, c'est à un voyage géographique, social et mental que nous convie Fatou Diome. À travers ces nouvelles, dans une description sans fard et avec un humour féroce, usant d'une langue incisive et colorée, l'auteur raconte les aléas de femme de ménage en Alsace, un quotidien souvent fait d'humiliations pour survivre... et payer ses études supérieures. Sombre tableau d'une difficile intégration que vient tempérer la nostalgie et la douceur des images de son enfance au Sénégal.

Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Winner of the Centennial Book Award from the Tuttleman Family Foundation of Gratz CollegeIn From Epic to Canon, Frank Moore Cross discusses specific issues that illuminate central questions about the Hebrew Bible and those who created and preserved it. He challenges the persistent attempt to read Protestant theological polemic against law into ancient Israel. Cross uncovers the continuities between the institutions of kinship and of covenant, which he describes as extended kinship. He examines the social structures of ancient Israel and reveals that beneath its later social and cultural accretions, the concept of covenant--as opposed to codified law--was a vital part of Israel's earliest institutions. He then draws parallels between the expression of kinship and covenant among the Israelites and that practiced by other ancient societies, as well as in primitive societies.
