The $7 billion campaign to expand China’s soft power has significantly increased its media presence. But are these media offensive efforts effective?

But I never realized how biased the programs were until I traveled back home recently after studying and working in journalism in the United States for five years. In the half-hour show, international news normally takes 5 to 10 minutes, most of which report on negative news around the world, such as riots in the Middle East or the economic crisis in Europe.

  • PENNY LANG: 1942-2016 “One of Canada’S Undeniable Treasures” Montreal Int’L Jazz Festival
    PENNY LANG: 1942-2016 “one of Canada’s undeniable treasures” Montreal Int’l Jazz Festival Penny Lang emerged on the North American music scene in the 1960s. Her powerful interpretations and originals in folk, blues, country and gospel have gained her a large and devoted following as "a superb singer of sardonic folk material… hugely entertaining" (The Toronto Star). She also remained true to the art of entertaining, keenly perceptive and able to read the mood of her audiences. No two shows were alike, as she was a master communicator. Her songs: emotionally powerful observations of the human condition, sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious, always memorable. Born in east-end Montréal to a musical family, Penny Lang learned the ropes in prisons, hospitals, churches, camps and dusty old theatres. During the 1960s she performed at major folk festivals (Philadelphia, Mariposa..), folk clubs and countless bars throughout North America. Her mentors were Dave vanRonk and Kate McGarrigle; she hung with Stevie Wonder and the Reverend Gary Davis; she adored Nina Simone and Pete Seeger. A near brush with fame occurred when she was asked to record Leonard Cohen’s Suzanne for a US major label but it was not to be. Her darkest years lay ahead of her, and Penny left regular performing in 1970 after the birth of her son Jason. In 1988, after some time living in rural Québec, Penny re-emerged a stronger woman and a more powerful force. With the help of friends she directed her energies into songwriting, and was welcomed back to an adoring public. She became the darling of le tout Montréal, virtually precipitating a folk/roots revival.

San Francisco, CA—March 12, 2019—CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts proudly presents two new solo exhibitions, Abbas Akhavan: cast for a folly and Akosua Adoma Owusu: Welcome to the Jungle. For multi- disciplinary artist Abbas Akhavan, this exhibition is his first U.S. solo show and the culmination of his year as the 2018–2019 Capp Street Artist-in- Residence. Ghanaian-American filmmaker Akosua Adoma Owusu will present a medley of her films in an installation format—new territory for Owusu—in which two of her films will have their institutional premiere at CCA Wattis. Although these are two independent shows, both artists navigate histories, identities, politics, and materiality through distinct international lenses. “We are thrilled to present the newest works by each of these incredible artists,” says Kim Nguyen, CCA Wattis Institute curator and head of programs. “Abbas Akhavan’s time and attention to place made him a perfect fit for the Capp Street residency, where he can really delve into the ethos of San Francisco and its communities.

While his impressive rise is a testament to Canada’s multicultural ethos, Jagmeet is controversial within India and has a testy relationship with its government. His activism around India’s 1984 anti- Sikh pogroms has exposed tensions between Punjabi and diaspora Sikhs, and within the Sikh diaspora itself. In his quest to become the Canadian prime minister, Jagmeet will have to contend with his country’s turbulent relationship with religious minorities, his party’s inconsistent electoral fortunes and certain violent elements of Sikh politics. perspectives 26 18 politics 18 Temple Run Will Karnataka’s real, devout Hindus please stand up? narayana a 50 satire 22 A Modest Proposal For preventing the children of poor people in religion India from being a burden to their parents or 50 Bearing The Cross the economy, and for making them beneficial Pakistan’s Christians struggle to keep the faith to the public sarah eleazar kushanava choudhury FEBRUARY 2018 3 the lede 8 communities 8 A Pack of Troubles 64 How Spiti is coping with its stray-dog problem bhanu sridharan agriculture 12 Barren Land A saffron farmer’s take on crop photo essay / environment failure in Kashmir 64 The Great qazi wasif Outdoors The picnicking subculture communities in eastern India 14 Shifting Impressions arko datto What the preservation of a Roma identity entails alexander hurst books 94 arts 78 Out of Focus What Raghubir Singh did not see ratik asokan 78 the bookshelf 92 showcase 94 NOTE TO READERS: THE “SPONSORED FEATURES” ON PAGES 48–49 AND 62–63 editor’s pick 98 ARE PAID ADVERTISING CONTENT.
