The “new Jim Crow” is a largely post-industrial phenomenon. The second hitch is that the Jim Crow system was part of a productionist regime dedicated to the mass exploitation of Black labor still yoked primarily to cotton. The first difficulty is that the real historical Jim Crow regime of the late 19 th and early 20 th century was specific to the South whereas the contemporary racist mass incarceration and criminal branding regime is nationwide. There were three key problems, however, with professor Alexander’s use of the term “Jim Crow” to describe that terrible system. Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow is properly understood as a classic text on and against the regime of racist mass incarceration and criminal- (felony-) marking that arose and became deeply entrenched in the United States during the last third of the previous century. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes To Hide in Boxes. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. Spend some time in this story, and you’ll come away feeling like any problem in your life just needs a little more love applied to be instantly solved. The Enchanted April is a novel that was written by Elizabeth von Arnim that tells the story of four very different women who go a vacation to Italy. I give both the movie and the book 5 stars. I hope you will find some time to read this short little treasure of a book– or give it as a gift– for you will be glad you did. Reading this slim novel makes me want to see the movie again too, which I also heartily recommend, if you have not seen it. The plot is simply that they became more true to themselves as they lapped up beautiful surroundings, and I can’t think of what would be more engaging to read and imagine. This is one of those rare stories that doesn’t resort to breaking the ten commandments to be interesting. The women begin the story rather drearily, and end it refreshed, resuscitated, and relaunched into a better life. The Enchanted April is a delectable story of four English women vacationing in a rented medieval castle on the mediterranean in April, a place festooned with wisteria and gardens galore. I’m so glad a woman in my book club recommended this one! Most of us saw and adored the movie– a jewel made in 1992– but I had never read the original book before, which was written in 1922. I’m closing in on the last month for finishing my Reading Challenge for 2018, and needed to read a book written in the 20th century.

This is certainly the nation our constitution envisioned. The agriculture ministry returned thousands of crores because they were ‘unused’ while farmers continue to be exploited by a system meant to benefit sellers and middlemen. While farmers in many parts of the country are getting very low to no money for their crops, and our agricultural infrastructure continues to remain a blind spot for the government, the ministry of agriculture has thousands of crores unspent!
