Paperback. Zustand: Good. My Life in Propaganda is Magda Stroińska's personal account of growing up with communist propaganda in Eastern Europe. She looks at the influence of her family history that contradicted what she was taught at school, the cognitive and emotional effects of compulsory school readings, socialist realist art and film, Radio Free Europe and Voice of America and their role in shaping her generation's collective view of the world. The book demonstrates that democracy can never be taken for granted. Through her chosen field of linguistics, she analyzes ways in which propagandistic language, such as 'doubletalk, ' Orwellian 'Newspeak, ' 'weasel words, ' and, more colloquially, 'bullshit, ' is used to distort reality. This book demonstrates that democracy can never be taken for granted.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Blackfoot storyteller Alexander Soop plunges us into a shocking well of imagination in his debut collection of short stories, Midnight Storm Moonless Sky. From hauntings on the Highway of Tears to fearful gatherings of ghosts and the sorrows of racism, Soop combines the social anxieties of Indigenous life with spellbinding flights and frights of speculative fiction. Through these enthralling stories of reality mixed with terror, readers get a wicked glimpse into the genre of Indigenous Horror - a combination of First Nations legends, dark fantasy, apocalyptic and paranormal enchantment, and monstrous secrets. In addition to his hungering to scare the wits out of readers, Alexander Soop also examines the overlooked matters affecting First Nations across the diverse world of Turtle Island. Midnight Storm Moonless Sky is Volume One in the Indigenous Horror series, a spinoff of the UpRoute Indigenous Spirit of Nature imprint. Soop, Patricia; Soop, Alex (illustrator).…
