La Couleur des sentiments

Kathryn Stockett · 2013

Chez les Blancs de Jackson, Mississippi, ce sont les Noires qui font le ménage, la cuisine, et qui s'occupent des enfants. On est en 1962, les lois raciales font autorité. En quarante ans de service, Aibileen a appris à tenir sa langue. L'insolente Minny, sa meilleure amie, vient tout juste de se faire renvoyer. Si les choses s'enveniment, elle devra chercher du travail dans une autre ville. Peut-être même s'exiler dans un autre Etat, comme Constantine, qu'on n'a plus revue ici depuis que, pour des raisons inavouables, les Phelan l'ont congédiée. Mais Skeeter, la fille des Phelan, n'est pas comme les autres. De retour à Jackson au terme de ses études, elle s'acharne à découvrir pourquoi Constantine, qui l'a élevée avec amour pendant vingt-deux ans, est partie sans même lui laisser un mot. La jeune bourgeoise blanche et les deux bonnes noires, poussées par une sourde envie de changer les choses malgré la peur, vont unir leurs destins, et en grand secret écrire une histoire bouleversante. Passionnant, drôle, émouvant, La Couleur des sentiments a connu un succès considérable dans le monde entier, et a été adapté au cinéma. En France, le roman a reçu en 2011 le grand prix des lectrices de Elle.

Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

Mikki Kendall · 2021

<b>A <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER<br><br> “<b>The fights against hunger, homelessness, poverty, health disparities, poor schools, homophobia, transphobia, and domestic violence are feminist fights. Kendall offers a feminism rooted in the livelihood of everyday women.”</b> <b>—Ibram X. Kendi, #1 <i>New York Times-</i>bestselling author of  <i>How to Be an Antiracist</i>, in <i>The Atlantic</i></b><br><br>“One of the most important books of the current moment.”—<i>Time</i></b><br>  <br> <b>“A rousing call to action... It should be required reading for everyone.”—Gabrielle Union, author of</b> <i><b>We’re Going to Need More Wine</b></i><br> <br> <b><br> <b>A potent and electrifying critique of today’s feminist movement announcing a fresh new voice in black feminism</b></b><br><br>Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? <br><br>In her searing collection of essays, Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement, arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women. Drawing on her own experiences with hunger, violence, and hypersexualization, along with incisive commentary on reproductive rights, politics, pop culture, the stigma of mental health, and more, <i>Hood Feminism</i> delivers an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux. An unforgettable debut, Kendall has written a ferocious clarion call to all would-be feminists to live out the true mandate of the movement in thought and in deed.

Barbie: The world Tour - version française

Margot Robbie, Andrew Mukamal · 2024

Plongée inédite dans l'univers mode du film phénomène Barbie, avec l'actrice superstar Margot Robbie. Ce livre événement plonge les lecteurs en plein cœur du monde de Barbie, après l'extraordinaire succès du film de Greta Gerwig (près de 6 millions d'entrées en France). Publié en collaboration exclusive avec Margot Robbie et Mattel, l'ouvrage célèbre l'icône de mode qu'est la légendaire poupée. En vue de la tournée promotionnelle du film, l'actrice et son styliste Andrew Makumal ont demandé aux plus grands créateurs, de Chanel, Versace, Armani et Schiaparelli, de s'inspirer des looks historiques de Barbie pour créer des tenues de tapis rouge. La tournée ayant été écourtée, la plupart de ces créations sont restées inédites. Pour la première fois, elles sont ici toutes réunies, photographiées par l'incontournable photographe de mode Craig McDean. L'ouvrage mêle la sophistication de la Haute Couture à la légèreté du monde de Barbie. Un entretien avec Margot Robbie et Andrew Makumal revient sur la genèse du projet, tandis que des contributions exceptionnelles des créateurs à l'origine des looks reviennent sur leur processus de travail. Le livre rassemble également des images rares de poupées tirées des archives de Mattel, ainsi que des croquis et polaroids réalisés pendant la préparation des tenues. La parution de cet ouvrage insolite, à la croisée des mondes de la mode, de la culture pop et du cinéma, coïncide avec la célébration renouvelée de Barbie à l'occasion de son 65ème anniversaire et de la saison des prix cinématographiques internationaux du printemps.

Dele Weds Destiny: A novel

Tomi Obaro · 2022

A VANITY FAIR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • The story of three once-inseparable college friends in Nigeria who reunite in Lagos for the first time in thirty years—a sparkling novel about the extraordinary resilience of female friendship. “A story rendered with so much heart.” —Taylor Jenkins Reid, best-selling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and the Six Funmi, Enitan, and Zainab first meet at university in Nigeria and become friends for life despite their differences. Funmi is beautiful, brash, and determined; Enitan is homely and eager, seeking escape from her single mother's smothering and needy love; Zainab is elegant and reserved, raised by her father's first two wives after her mother's death in childbirth. Their friendship is complicated but enduring, and over the course of the novel, the reader learns about their loves and losses. How Funmi stole Zainab's boyfriend and became pregnant, only to have an abortion and lose the boyfriend to police violence. How Enitan was seduced by an American Peace Corps volunteer, the only one who ever really saw her, but is culturally so different from him—a Connecticut WASP—that raising their daughter together put them at odds. How Zainab fell in love with her teacher, a friend of her father’s, and ruptured her relationship with her father to have him. Now, some thirty years later, the three women are reunited for the first time, in Lagos. The occasion: Funmi’s daughter, Destiny, is getting married. Enitan brings her American daughter, Remi. Zainab travels by bus, nervously leaving her ailing husband in the care of their son. Funmi, hosting the weekend with her wealthy husband, wants everything to go perfectly. But as the big day approaches, it becomes clear that something is not right. As the novel builds powerfully, the complexities of the mothers’ friendship—and the private wisdom each has earned—come to bear on a riveting, heartrending moment of decision. Dele Weds Destiny is a sensational debut from a dazzling new voice in contemporary fiction.
