Sara Suleri Goodyear - 1991-06-11 (впервые опубликовано в 1989)
Рейтинг Goodreads
A memoir of postcolonial Pakistan that interweaves the country's violent history with the author's intimate memories of family and cultural identity. Suleri recounts her mixed heritage, Welsh mother, and Pakistani father, a prominent political journalist. Her finely wrought storytelling transports readers through Pakistan, Britain, and the United States, examining familial relationships and sense of place. Meatless Days is a jewel of insight and beauty that examines cultural identity, political upheaval, and exile.

Did you read a better memoir than Meatless Days? It feels like the end of the world to know that Sara Suleri is no more. What a book. What a woman. What a huge loss. RIP.      источник

The Return of Race Science
Angela Saini - 2019-05-21
Рейтинг Goodreads
Explore the disturbing re-emergence of scientific research into biological racial differences in Superior. Angela Saini unveils the story of intellectual racists and segregationists who quietly founded journals and funded research, providing shoddy studies that were ultimately cited in infamous titles like The Bell Curve. Despite race being a social construct, many contemporary scientists still cling to the idea that race is biologically real. Superior exposes the insidious and destructive nature of race science and reminds us that, biologically, we are all far more alike than different.

This book explores the complex relationship between two great nationalist leaders, Nehru and Bose.

@Vivek_Iyer_ @ghazalawahab @Aakar__Patel Judith Brown I also liked Tharoor's - I haven't read Frank Moraes's book but would be curious: Rudrangshu Mukherjee's parallel bio of Nehru and Bose was good      источник
