Abrams Black Friend
Book Synopsis From the writer crowned one of the smartest, funniest voices in modern America, this hotly anticipated debut collection of essays offers “a precious glimpse into how Ziwe’s uniquely fearless mind functions” (New York) Ziwe made a name for herself staring interviewees in the eye and asking, “How many Black friends do you have?” She’s an expert at making people squirm, coming right out and asking the tough questions about race and racism that our culture has made white people experts at dancing around. In Black Friend, she turns this incisive perspective on the culture at large, with her signature blend of bluntness and warmth that keeps her guests coming back. Throughout the book, Ziwe mixes big-picture concepts like critical race theory and white privilege with pop-culture commentary and her own personal life story.

BroadStreet Publishing Best Old Folks Jokes Ever
Book SynopsisI woke up this morning and forgot which direction the sun rises from... then it dawned on me. I heard a funny joke about a boomerang earlier. I'm sure it will come back to me. Aging gets old after a while. Pun intended. Gone are the days when you can remember why you went into the kitchen, what medications you are taking for what, and whether you hurt your neck doing something amazing or you just slept funny (and it's not really funny because, quite honestly, you don't know if your neck will ever work properly again). When you need to find humour in the not-so marvellous life changes, pick up 'Best Old Folks Jokes Ever' and chuckle along with everyone else who is growing older. That's literally everyone. A little laughter can go a long way in accepting the inevitable with gratitude and grace.

O presente volume, que contribui para a preservação de uma tradição imemorial em via de desaparecimento, é composto por 82 contos folclóricos de carácter indo-europeu gravados em Taunton, Massachusetts.

A introdução, em português e inglês, apresenta um panorama da imigração portuguesa para a Nova Inglaterra.
