The cover depicted three-time alumna Fouzia Saeed (B.S. ’82, M.S. ’84, Ph.D. ’87), a pioneer in Pakistan’s movement against sexual harassment; among other EDITORIAL & ADVERTISING stories, we wrote about Habib Essid (M.S. ’75), who studied President and CEO agricultural economics at the U and was elected prime minister Lisa Lewis of Tunisia just days before the issue went to press. We profiled Editor Agam Sheth (Ph.D. ’04), a scientist with Merck & Co. who is Cynthia Scott active in the Alumni Association’s Philadelphia network and Senior Editor spent three months in Delhi on a project aimed at improving health care delivery Meleah Maynard for impoverished women in remote villages. Copy Editor My editor’s note in that issue was titled No Foreigners Among Us. In it, I reflected Susan Maas on how being a student at the University in the 1980s helped me—forced me, Contributing Writers actually—to overcome my fear of those who are different from me. I observed that Tim Brady Alexander Gelfand the word “foreigner,” with its vaguely pejorative connotations, has thankfully fallen Tara Haelle out of common usage, in contrast to how it was when I was growing up. I ended Susan Maas the column with this: “At the Alumni Association we talk about being a global com- Gayla Marty James Skakoon munity. It’s not mere marketing jargon.

  • My Year of Dirt and Water
    “In a year apart from everyone she loves, Tracy Franz reconciles her feelings of loneliness and displacement into acceptance and trust. Keenly observed and lyrically told, her journal takes us deep into the spirit of Zen, where every place you stand is the monastery.” KAREN MAEZEN MILLER, author of Paradise in Plain Sight: Lessons from a Zen Garden “Crisp, glittering, deep, and probing.” DAI-EN BENNAGE, translator of Zen Seeds “Tracy Franz’s My Year of Dirt and Water is both bold and quietly elegant in form and insight, and spacious enough for many striking paradoxes: the intimacy that arises in the midst of loneliness, finding belonging in exile, discovering real freedom on a journey punctuated by encounters with dark and cruel men, and moving forward into the unknown to finally excavate secrets of the past. It is a long poem, a string of koans and startling encounters, a clear dream of transmissions beyond words. And it is a remarkable love story that moved me to tears.” BONNIE NADZAM, author of Lamb and Lions, co-author of Love in the Anthropocene “A remarkable account of a woman’s sojourn, largely in Japan, while her husband undergoes a year-long training session in a Zen Buddhist monastery. Difficult, disciplined, and interesting as the husband’s training toward becoming a monk may be, it is the author’s tale that has our attention here.” JOHN KEEBLE, author of seven books, including The Shadows of Owls “Franz matches restraint with reflexiveness, crafting a narrative equally filled with the luminous particular and the telling omission.

  • The She-Devil
    THE SHE-DEVIL MANKIND from Adam have been women's fools, Women, from Eve, have been the devil's tools. -LANSDOWNE. To the prospective purchaser I would say that the original conception of this work was only intended for a prikate distribution (as a gift) among several hundred intimate friends, who had ofttimes heard me tell the story of Boyce Eric and the beautiful Seiiora \ aldez: but, upon presenting the manu- script to the printer, he graciously told me that in his opinion. the subject-matter, with a little em- bellishment would be worthy of publication. To this confidence I laughed, for I never enter- tained any thought of becoming an author-other than of casual short stories; but, after much per- suasion, I agreed to make an effort at weaving it into a story of fiction on fact, the result of which effort you now have before you. Remember, how- ever, I do not place it before the (already muchly swindled) reading public as a masterpiece of rhe- toric, but as solid, concrete facts ;so if you will over- look that lack of wonderful literary construction, finesse, and the easy, careless swing possessed by the scintillating stars of the literary world (with whom I cannot hope to compete) I can assure you a tale of unusual interest-more strange even than fiction. And another word before proceeding: My some- what sensational title-The She-Devil-was sug- gested by a reprimand I received during my college days. I had become embroiled in an escapade (with a very beautiful woman) that nearly ended my col- lege career during my junior year.

  • THE COLLECTED TALES of NIKOLAI GOGOL Translated and Annotated by RICHARD PEVEAR and LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY FIRST VINTAGE CLASSICS EDITION, JULY 1999 ISBN: 0679430237
    THE COLLECTED TALES OF NIKOLAI GOGOL Translated and Annotated by RICHARD PEVEAR and LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY FIRST VINTAGE CLASSICS EDITION, JULY 1999 ISBN: 0679430237 1 Preface Art has the provinces in its blood. Art is provincial in principle, preserving for itself a naive, external, astonished and envious outlook. -Andrei Sinyavsky, In Gogol's Shadow Nikolai Vassilyevich Gogol was born on April 1, 1809, in the village of Sorochintsy, Mirgorod district, Poltava province, in the Ukraine, also known as Little Russia. His childhood was spent on Vassilyevka, a modest estate belonging to his mother. Nearby was the town of Dikanka, once the property of Kochubey, the most famous hetman of the independent Ukraine. In the church of Dikanka there was an icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, for whom Gogol was named. In 1821 Gogol was sent to boarding school in Nezhin, near Kiev. He graduated seven years later, and in December 1828, at the age of nineteen, left his native province to try his fortunes in the Russian capital. There he fled from posts as a clerk in two government ministries, failed a tryout for the imperial theater (he had not been a brilliant student at school, but had shown unusual talent as a mimic and actor, and his late father had been an amateur playwright), printed at his own expense a long and very bad romantic poem, then bought back all the copies and burned them, and in 1830 published his first tale, "St. John's Eve," in the March issue of the magazine Fatherland Notes. There followed, in September 1831 and March 1832, the two volumes of Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka, each containing four tales on Ukrainian themes with a prologue by their supposed collector, the beekeeper Rusty Panko.

  • EASTLEY, SOPHIA One Thousand and One Harem Nights 1
    EASTLEY, SOPHIA One Thousand and One Harem Nights 1 ONE THOUSAND AND ONE HAREM NIGHTS By Sophia Auset Eastley CHAPTER ONE In the spring the long, calm days were disturbed by the onset of her first menses, and premonitions. Inner destinies intersected. Suhayla, and her mother, Aisha, were like vines growing together. One seeded from the first, yet growing side by side, newly green tendrils, climbed upon the older sturdier vine, and Aisha found her way down the lovely, elastic body of her young daughter. It is said, Egypt is Um ed-Duniya, Mother of the World, yet the Aket lion of past and future held Suhayla in its paws. Aker, the twin lions joined at the haunches, their tail curved over their spotted backs: one facing east, yesterday, Sef; the other looking to the West, EASTLEY, SOPHIA One Thousand and One Harem Nights 2 tomorrow, Tuau. Pass between the paws of either of these lions and one walks into the shadow world, into the world of the dead, trapped in time. As each morning, Baba, Mama and Suhayla sat on cushions, upon a carpet, for their early meal. Black tea accompanied goat’s cheese on bread, warm and pliable, that had been dipped in olive oil. Suhayla took a handful of dates from the bronze platter and stuffed her mouth. Fresh and juicy, from their own trees next to the garden, the sweet taste stuck to her mouth and clung to her tongue. Mama stood, and handed the empty platter to their serving girl. “Come daughter, we shall give the lilies a look and see their progress.” Mama stroked Suhayla’s hair and at the door way grasped her hand.

Portugal is not among the primary European destinations for refugees or immigrants; possibly, in part, because there are fewer migrants in Portugal, it is an E.U. country where new arrivals are still met with a degree of enthusiasm. Hard right, anti-immigrant parties—on the rise in other parts of the E.U.— have not gained much traction in Portugal. This work looks at the relative invisibility of immigrants in Porto, the country’s second largest city, which may make those immigrants a less visible target for intolerance and political opportunism, but may also impede a larger, more self- determinant role for immigrants and their communities in greater Portuguese society.
