SUMMARY:Authors Amplified Series: Isabella Alexander-Nathani\, 'Burning at Europe's Borders' 
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices continues with a virtual interview with Dr. Isabella Alexander-Nathani\, anthropologist\, filmmaker and author of the recently released book Burning at Europe’s Borders: An Ethnography on the African Migrant Experience in Morocco\, which features an accompanying documentary The Burning by Small World Films\, Dr. Alexander-Nathani’s production company. \nAbout the Book: \nIn her heart-pounding and courageous debut\, Dr. Isabella Alexander-Nathani uncovers an unseen side of our global migrant and refugee crisis. \nBurning at Europe’s Borders invites readers inside the lives of the world’s largest population of migrants and refugees–the hundreds of thousands who are trapped in hidden forest camps and forgotten detention centers at Europe’s southernmost borders in North Africa. “Hrig\,” the Arabic term for “illegal immigration\,” translates to “burning.” It signifies a migrant’s decision to burn their papers\, in order to avoid identification and repatriation on their long journeys to safer shores. But it also signifies their decision to burn their past lives\, sacrificing themselves in hopes of reaching a future on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea. Alexander-Nathani examines this process of “burning\,” traveling thousands of miles alongside those who have fled war and extreme poverty across the African continent only to find themselves trapped in Libya\, Algeria\, and Morocco. This book exposes the political agreements that have led to Europe’s control over African borders and the illicit practices that continue to mold North African countries into brutal holding cells for our world’s most vulnerable. \nBurning at Europe’s Borders introduces new ways of doing anthropological research in the modern era\, as Alexander-Nathani skillfully weaves images and individual stories into her analysis of changing migration flows at our world’s most critical border crossings. Her creative mixed-methods approach included community filmmaking practices and over three years of ethnographic research in African smuggling rings\, hidden migrant brotherhoods\, and European Union-funded detention centers. This is an ideal cross-over book\, promising to engage students\, scholars\, policymakers\, and popular audiences seeking to step inside the heart of our world’s greatest humanitarian crisis. \nBurning at Europe’s Borders is a volume in the series ISSUES OF GLOBALIZATION: CASE STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY\, which examines the experiences of individual communities in our contemporary world. Each volume offers a brief and engaging exploration of a particular issue arising from globalization and its cultural\, political\, and economic effects on certain peoples or groups. \nAbout the Author: \nDr. Isabella Alexander-Nathani is an award-winning writer\, filmmaker\, educator\, and human rights activist. Trained as a cultural anthropologist\, her work is motivated by her belief that storytelling has the power to humanize complex political issues and bring positive social change. Her latest book\, Burning at Europe’s Borders (Oxford University Press\, 2020) and related documentary film The Burning (Small World Films\, 2020) uncover the human sides of our global migrant and refugee crisis. She currently serves as Founder and CEO of Small World Films\, a non-profit production studio\, which uses grounded research and social impact storytelling to lift the voices of marginalized populations to the global stage and fight for international policy change. \nIsabella’s work has been featured on BBC\, CNN\, NPR\, PRI\, and Al Jazeera\, and she is a regular contributor to SAPIENS\, where she writes a monthly column called “Borders.” Her recent speaking programs have brought her to stages around the world\, including the United Nations General Assembly and the Parliament of the World’s Religions\, where she has delivered keynote addresses on human rights to audiences of more than 10\,000. In 2016\, The American Anthropological Association presented her with the “Emerging Leader in Anthropology” award\, and her latest projects have been supported by grants from The National Science Foundation. She is proud to serve on the Advisory Board for several non-profit organizations\, including The Global Village Project\, the first school designed specifically for refugee girls; Stories Found\, an organization equipping African youth with filmmaking skills and technology; and SAPIENS\, a digital journal focused on connecting social science research to the public. \nOriginally from the southern United States\, Isabella has called New York\, Paris\, Chicago\, Rabat\, Atlanta\, and Bamako home over the years. She earned her degrees from New York University (BA)\, the University of Chicago (MA)\, Emory University (MA\, PhD)\, and the Spéos Institute in France (MFA)\, and she has held a faculty positions in the Departments of Anthropology and Film Studies at Emory University and the Department of Social Sciences at Université Mohammed V\, Morocco’s National University. While her work frequently brings her to New York\, Geneva\, and across North Africa\, she now happily calls Santa Barbara\, California home\, where she lives with her partner\, Amit Alexander-Nathani\, their son\, and their two rescue dogs\, Willow and Bear. \nAbout the Series: \nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.

A native of Argentina and Licenciado from the University of Buenos Aires\, he did his Ph.D. at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and was also a postdoctoral lecturer at the University of Chicago. \nHis first book\, The Invention of Latin American Music.

SUMMARY:Authors Amplified Series: Jagdish Sheth’s ‘The Global Rule of Three'
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices continues with a virtual interview with Dr. Jagdish N. Sheth\, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Business at Emory University Goizueta Business School\, and author of the recently released book\, The Global Rule of Three. \nAbout the Book:\nIn our increasingly digital\, mobile\, and global world\, the existing theories of business and economics have lost much of their appeal with the phenomenal rise of Chindia\, the reality of Brexit\, the turmoil caused by the Covid-19 pandemic\, and the seismic shifting of the global center of gravity from west to east. In the area of innovation\, the traditional thinking that a developed country\, often the US\, will come up with the next major innovation\, launch at home first\, and then take it to other markets does not ring true anymore. Similarly\, the world where conglomerates go bargain-hunting for acquisitions in emerging markets has been turned upside-down. \nThis book reveals and illustrates the Global Rule of Three phenomenon\, which stipulates that in competitive markets only three companies (which the authors call “generalists”) can dominate the market. All other players in the market are specialists. Further\, whereas the financial performance of generalists improves as market share increases\, specialist companies see a decrease in financial performance as their market share increases\, as the latter are margin-driven companies. This theory powerfully captures the evolution of global markets and what executives must do to succeed. It is based on empirical analyses of hundreds of markets and industries in the US and globally. Competitive markets evolve in a predictable fashion across industries and geographies\, where every industry goes through a similar lifecycle from beginning to end (or revitalization). From local to regional to national markets\, the last stop in the evolution of markets is going global. The pattern is so consistent that it represents a distinct and natural market structure at every level. The authors offer strategies that generalists and specialist should follow to stay competitive as well as twelve expansion strategies for global companies from emerging markets. \nThis book chronicles this global evolution and provides impactful managerial implications for executives and students of marketing and corporate strategy alike. We’ll also glean insight from Dr. Sheth on what the tenuous ties among what he calls “The New Triad Power” — the U.S.\, India and China — which are facing turbulent period in their relations.  \nSpeaker Bio:\nJagdish N. Sheth\, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Business\, Goizueta Business School\, Emory University. He is globally known for his scholarly contributions to consumer behavior\, relationship marketing\, competitive strategy\, and geopolitical analysis. Over 50 years of experience in teaching and research at the University of Southern California\, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, Columbia University\, MIT\, and Emory. \nDr. Sheth is a recipient of the 2020 Padma Bhushan Award for literature and education\, one of the highest civilian awards given by the Government of India. He is a Fellow of the Academy of International Business (AIB); the Association of Consumer Research (ACR); the American Psychological Association (APA); and the American Marketing Association (AMA). He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) and the International Engineering Consortium. He is the recipient of all four top awards given by the American Marketing Association (AMA). Professor Sheth has been an advisor to numerous corporations all over the world. He has authored or co-authored more than three hundred papers and numerous books. \nDr. Sheth is the Founder of the Center for Telecommunications Management (CTM) at the University of Southern California (USC)\, Founder and Chairman of India\, China\, and America (ICA) Institute which analyzes the trilateral relationship and its impact on geopolitics\, security\, trade\, and investment\, and the Founder and Chairman of the Academy of Indian Marketing (AIM) which supports research and scholarship among Indian scholars in marketing and management. He and his wife\, Madhu Sheth\, have established the Sheth Family Foundation to support several charities in India and in the United States and the Madhuri and Jagdish Sheth Foundation to support scholars and scholarship in the field of marketing. The Sheth Foundation supports the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium\, hosted annually by different universities. Finally\, Professor Sheth is the Founder and Chairman of the Academy of Indian Marketing (AIM) which supports research and scholarship among Indian scholars in marketing and management. \nAbout the Series\nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Vanessa Riley
DESCRIPTION:A remarkable\, sweeping historical novel based on the incredible true-life story of Dorothy Kirwan Thomas\, a free woman of color who rose from slavery to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful landowners in the colonial West Indies. \nGet Tickets\nTickets are $10 for not-yet-members\, $5 for members\, free for Insiders. \nBorn into slavery on the tiny Caribbean island of Montserrat\, Doll bought her freedom—and that of her sister and her mother—from her Irish planter father and built a legacy of wealth and power as an entrepreneur\, merchant\, hotelier\, and planter that extended from the marketplaces and sugar plantations of Dominica and Barbados to a glittering luxury hotel in Demerara on the South American continent.\nVanessa Riley’s novel brings Doll to vivid life as she rises above the harsh realities of slavery and colonialism by working the system and leveraging the competing attentions of the men in her life: a restless shipping merchant\, Joseph Thomas; a wealthy planter hiding a secret\, John Coseveldt Cells; and a roguish naval captain who will later become King William IV of England. \nFrom the bustling port cities of the West Indies to the forbidding drawing rooms of London’s elite\, Island Queen is a sweeping epic of an adventurer and a survivor who answered to no one but herself as she rose to power and autonomy against all odds\, defying rigid eighteenth-century morality and the oppression of women as well as people of color. It is an unforgettable portrait of a true larger-than-life woman who made her mark on history. \nAbout the Author\nIn addition to being a novelist\, Vanessa Riley holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering and a master’s in industrial engineering and engineering management from Stanford University. She also earned BS and MS in mechanical engineering from Penn State University.  She currently juggles mothering a teen\, cooking for her military-man husband\, and speaking at women’s and STEM events. She loves baking her Trinidadian grandma’s cake recipes and collecting Irish crochet lace. You can catch her writing from the comfort of her porch in Georgia\, with a cup of Earl Grey tea. Riley lives in Atlanta. \nPromotional language provided by the publisher.

SUMMARY:Authors Amplified Series: Dr. Kirk Bowman and Jon Wilcox's 'Reimagining Global Philanthropy'
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices continues with an in-person interview with Dr. Kirk S. Bowman\, professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology\, and Jon R. Wilcox\, co-founder and the former president\, CEO\, and director of California Republic Bancorp. \nDr. Bowman and Mr. Wilcox are the authors of the recently released book Reimagining Global Philanthropy: The Community Bank Model of Social Development.  \nNote: Space for the in-person event at the Global Atlanta offices\, is limited to the first 20 guests. Tickets are $15. A meet and greet with the authors will begin at 11 a.m.\, followed by an in-person interview starting at 11:30.\n \nCan’t make it? This event will also be broadcasted and viewable free of charge via Zoom. Please select your preferred option when registering. \nSponsored by Gene Kansas Commercial Real Estate: \n \nHosted by Constellations\, home to the Global Atlanta offices:  \n \nAbout the Book\nWell-meaning Westerners want to find ways to help the less fortunate. Today\, many are not just volunteering abroad and donating to international nonprofits but also advancing innovations and launching projects that aim to be socially transformative. However\, often these activities are not efficient ways of helping others\, and too many projects cause more harm than good. \nReimagining Global Philanthropy shares the journey of a conservative banker and a progressive professor to find a better way forward. Kirk S. Bowman and Jon R. Wilcox explain the boom in the global compassion industry\, revealing the incentives that produce inefficient practices and poor outcomes. Instead of supporting start-up projects with long-shot hopes for success\, they argue\, we can dramatically improve results by empowering local leaders. \nApplying lessons from the success of community banks\, Bowman and Wilcox develop and implement a new model that significantly raises philanthropic efficacy. Their straightforward and rigorously tested approach calls for community members to take the lead while outside partners play a supporting role. Bowman and Wilcox recount how they tested the model in Brazil\, demonstrating the value of giving people in marginalized communities the opportunity to innovate. In a time of widespread social reckoning\, this book shows how global philanthropy can confront its blind spots and failures in order to achieve truly transformative outcomes. \nReaders can access five of the documentary films discussed in the book on a companion website. In addition to the films\, chapter discussion questions and other supplemental materials are also available at the site. \nAbout the Authors\nKirk S. Bowman (right) and Jon R. Wilcox (left) in Chacrinha\, Rio de Janeiro.\nKirk S. Bowman is a professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is co-founder and director of the international NGO Rise Up & Care. His books include Lessons from Latin America: Innovations in Politics\, Culture\, and Development (2014). \nJon R. Wilcox is the co-founder and the former president\, CEO\, and director of California Republic Bancorp. His current and previous board affiliations include Mechanics Bank\, Waterfall Bridge Capital\, Rise Up & Care\, South Coast Repertory\, Junior Achievement\, and Fiji Reef Resources. \n\n  \nAbout the Series\nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda. \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:'Made in China: A Memoir of Love and Labor' Author Anna Qu in Conversation With Sopan Deb
DESCRIPTION:As a teen\, Anna Qu is sent by her mother to work in her family’s garment factory in Queens. At home\, she is treated as a maid and suffers punishment for doing her homework at night. Her mother wants to teach her a lesson: she is Chinese\, not American\, and such is their tough path in their new country. But instead of acquiescing\, Qu alerts the Office of Children and Family Services\, an act with consequences that impact the rest of her life. \nNearly twenty years later\, estranged from her mother and working at a Manhattan start-up\, Qu requests her OCFS report. When it arrives\, key details are wrong. Faced with this false narrative\, and on the brink of losing her job as the once-shiny start-up collapses\, Qu looks once more at her life’s truths\, from abandonment to an abusive family to seeking dignity and meaning in work. Traveling from Wenzhou to Xi’an to New York\, Made in China is a fierce memoir unafraid to ask thorny questions about trauma and survival in immigrant families\, the meaning of work\, and the costs of immigration. \nAbout the Author\nAnna Qu is a Chinese American writer. Her work has appeared in The Threepenny Review\, Lumina\, Kartika Review\, Kweli Journal\, Vol. 1 Brooklyn\, and elsewhere. She holds an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and lives in Brooklyn. Find out more at annaqu.com. \n  \n  \nAbout the Moderator\nSopan Deb is a writer for The New York Times\, where his topics have included sports and culture. \nBefore joining the Times\, Deb was one of a handful of reporters who covered Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign from start to finish as a campaign embeds for CBS News. He covered hundreds of rallies in more than 40 states for a year and a half and was named a “breakout media star” of the election by Politico. \nAt The New York Times\, Deb has interviewed high-profile subjects such as Denzel Washington\, Stephen Colbert\, the cast of Arrested Development\, Kyrie Irving\, and Bill Murray. \nHe is the  author of the memoir\, “Missed Translations: Meeting The Immigrant Parents Who Raised Me.” His forthcoming novel\, “The Elm Tree\,” is due out in 2022 through Simon and Shuster.

SUMMARY:Authors Amplified Series: J. T. Way's Agrotropolis: Youth\, Street\, and Nation in the New Urban Guatemala
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices continues with an in-person interview with J.T. Way\, professor of history at Georgia State University\, on his recently released book\, Agrotropolis: Youth\, Street\, and Nation in the New Urban Guatemala. \nNote: Space for the in-person event at the Global Atlanta offices\, is limited to the first 20 guests. Tickets are $15. A meet and greet with the author will begin at 11 a.m.\, followed by an in-person interview starting at 11:30.\n \nFor public health and safety reasons\, everyone attending in person must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and wear masks during the event. \nCan’t make it? This event will also be broadcasted and viewable free of charge via Zoom. Please select your preferred option when registering. \nHosted by Constellations\, home to the Global Atlanta offices:  \n \nAbout the Book\n \nAs a scholar whose research applies directly as testimony in asylum cases\, J.T. Way is well-versed in why thousands of Guatemalans are fleeing for their lives. He explains many of these realities in his new book\, Agrotropolis: Youth\, Street\, and Nation in the New Urban Guatemala. A fragile democracy in a country torn up by war and genocide gets gutted in its infancy as neoliberal policies shrink the state. Local thugs make towns their fiefdoms as lawlessness\, corruption\, and common and organized crime sweep the landscape. Neighborhood watch patrols become vigilante lynch mobs. Gender-based violence rises to the level of femicide. Youngsters make it through high school but find no work in an extractive economy propped up by migrants’ remittances and aptly symbolized by unregulated offshore banks. Hopes for a better life around the end of the war in 1996 fade in the next two decades as a “war of all against all” brings more violence and despair. \nAgrotropolis draws on a varied archive of primary sources\, as well as Way’s ethnographic field work in a nation he’s explored since 1991 and lived in from 2002 to 2012. It maps documents on politics\, economics\, and development against a kaleidoscopic array of cultural productions. It’s the first book to tell the story of Guatemalan rock nacional\, with genres ranging from death metal to grunge to Maya rock-folk fusion and Spanish and Mayan-language rap. Way examines ad campaigns and pop-culture websites\, blogs\, and Facebook and YouTube posts and comments. The book also traces a florescence of new novels and films and an explosion in photography\, painting\, wild-style graffiti and break-dancing. All of these art forms arose in fertile dialogue with a “Maya power” movement that spearheaded a cultural sea-change in the nation. Street art\, slang\, style and fashion\, leisure activities\, and even the postures and gestures wrapped up in people’s “forma de ser” (way of being) all find a place in this history. \nAbout the Author\nAuthor of Agrotropolis\, J.T. Way\nJ. T. Way is an Associate Professor who teaches and researches Latin American history at Georgia State University. A Central Americanist\, his main area of specialty is 20th- and 21st-century Guatemala\, about which he has published various articles and two scholarly books. The Mayan in the Mall: Globalization\, Development\, and the Making of Modern Guatemala (Duke\, 2012) maps the transnational project of development against the activities of the working poor in Guatemala City from 1920 to the new millennium\, showing how the largest city in Central America—where shantytowns and humble municipal and street markets abut luxurious malls and wealthy neighborhoods—came to have such stunning contrasts. Agrotropolis: Youth\, Street\, and Nation in the New Urban Guatemala (University of California\, 2021) teams an examination of the rapid urbanization of the agrarian countryside with the history of popular youth culture from 1983 to the 2010s. It shows how youth have used ethnic pride\, tradition\, pop culture\, and “street culture” to challenge the nation’s system of castes and create a popular alternative nationalism\, despite—and in dialogue with—the horrible conditions that confronted them. \nJ. T. has extensively traveled in Latin America since he first explored the region in a 14-month-long backpacking trip in 1991 and 1992\, later earning an MA in Latin American History at Tulane University\, and a second MA and his Ph.D. (2006) from Yale. He likes to joke that he left to do his doctoral research in Guatemala in 2002 and “never came back\,” since he ended up residing in the country until he joined the GSU faculty in 2012. During that time\, he founded and led a U.S.-international school and was a Faculty Affiliate of the University of Arizona\, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on Guatemala at CIRMA\, the Center for Mesoamerican Research (Centro de Investigaciones Regionales de Mesoamérica\, a prestigious social science archive and research center in Antigua\, Guatemala). At the time he joined the GSU faculty\, J. T. was serving as CIRMA’s Director\, a position he held from abroad through the first trimester of 2013. When global health conditions permit\, he still spends several months a year in Guatemala\, and is currently working on a book on the root causes of the flood of refugees from the Northern Triangle seeking asylum in the United States. He also regularly serves as an expert witness in asylum hearings for Guatemalans and Hondurans. \nAbout the Series\nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.

SUMMARY:Author Discussion - Giving Up Is Not an Option by Dr. Hani Khoury
DESCRIPTION:Join the Alif Institute and Dr. Hani Khoury for an exciting discussion over the inspiring story of his experiences coming to the United States found in his newest book: “Giving Up Is Not an Option”.

Khoury is Professor and Coordinator of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics\, Science\, and Informatics\nCollege of Professional Advancement at Mercer Univesity. In his memoirs\, Professor Khoury narrates the highlights of the complexities of his life and the events which have nurtured it.

The juxtaposition of two very different cultural settings\, Israeli-occupied Palestine\, and the United States of America\, will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the meaning and implications of liberty and self-determination\, both individually and collectively. \nHe tells the story of his departure from the long-disputed land in Palestine to a new world that has become for him a place of new beginnings and friendships\, unforeseen challenges\, and personal and professional accomplishments. \nAccompanied by his parents\, he began his journey to freedom on August 12\, 1983\, when the plane from Amman\, Jordan landed at JFK International Airport in New York City. His new life began that day in a country that is known for its freedoms and the rule of law. In this new world and with the help of new and advanced technologies\, he was able to leave the past for a new and promising future. In his newly adopted country\, Hani was able to obtain his higher education\, form a family\, gain employment as a professor of mathematics at the university level\, and become a productive member of society. In this landscape of dreams that we call America\, and previously in his homeland in Palestine\, he has met many wonderful people from different faiths and backgrounds.

SUMMARY:William Neuman: Author of 'Things Are Never So Bad That They Can't Get Worse: Inside the Collapse of Venezuela'
DESCRIPTION:Today\, Venezuela is a country of perpetual crisis—a country of rolling blackouts\, nearly worthless currency\, uncertain supply of water and food\, and extreme poverty. In the same land where oil—the largest reserve in the world—sits so close to the surface that it bubbles from the ground\, where gold and other mineral resources are abundant\, and where the government spends billions of dollars on public works projects that go abandoned\, the supermarket shelves are bare and the hospitals have no medicine. Twenty percent of the population has fled\, creating the largest refugee exodus in the world\, rivaling only war-torn Syria’s crisis. Venezuela’s collapse affects all of Latin America\, as well as the United States and the international communityRepublicans like to point to Venezuela as the perfect example of the emptiness of socialism\, but it is a better model for something else: the destructive potential of charismatic populist leadership. The ascent of Hugo Chávez was a precursor to the emergence of strongmen that can now be seen all over the world\, and the success of the corrupt economy he presided over only lasted while oil sold for more than $100 a barrel. Chávez’s regime and policies\, which have been reinforced under Nicolás Maduro\, squandered abundant resources and ultimately bankrupted the country. \nThings Are Never So Bad That They Can’t Get Worse is a fluid combination of journalism\, memoir\, and history that chronicles Venezuela’s tragic journey from petro-riches to poverty. Author William Neuman witnessed it all firsthand while living in Caracas and serving as the New York Times Andes Region Bureau Chief. His book paints a clear-eyed\, riveting\, and highly personal portrait of the crisis unfolding in real time\, with all of its tropical surrealism\, extremes of wealth and suffering\, and gripping drama. It is also a heartfelt reflection of the country’s great beauty and vibrancy—and the energy\, passion\, and humor of its people\, even under the most challenging circumstances. \nAbout the Author \nWilliam Neuman is an author and journalist who reported for the New York Times for over 15 years. He served as the Times Andes Region Bureau Chief from 2012 to 2016 while based in Caracas\, Venezuela. He previously reported for the New York Post and his work has also been featured by the San Francisco Chronicle\, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram\, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel\, and The Independent\, among others. He began his journalism career while living in Mexico and has published English translations of several Spanish-language novels. \nPromotional language provided by publisher.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Sanjena Sathian's Novel 'Gold Diggers'
DESCRIPTION:How far would you go for a piece of the American dream? \nA magical realist coming-of-age story\, Gold Diggers by Sanjena Sathian skewers the model minority myth to tell a hilarious and moving story about immigrant identity\, community\, and the underside of ambition. \nA floundering second-generation teenager growing up in the Bush-era Atlanta suburbs\, Neil Narayan struggles to bear the weight of expectations of his family and their Asian American enclave. He tries to want their version of success\, but mostly\, Neil just wants his neighbor across the cul-de-sac\, Anita Dayal. \nWhen he discovers that Anita is the beneficiary of an ancient\, alchemical potion made from stolen gold—a “lemonade” that harnesses the ambition of the gold’s original owner—Neil sees his chance to get ahead. But events spiral into a tragedy that rips their community apart. Years later in the Bay Area\, Neil still bristles against his community’s expectations—and finds he might need one more hit of that lemonade\, no matter the cost. \nThis event will be held in person at the Atlanta History Center\, but it will also be livestreamed. Woodruff Auditorium is located inside McElreath Hall. Doors and cash bar will open at 6pm. \nAbout the Author\nA Paul and Daisy Soros fellow\, Sanjena Sathian is a 2019 graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She has worked as a reporter in Mumbai and San Francisco\, with nonfiction bylines for The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, Food & Wine\, The Washington Post\, Vox\, TIME\, and more.

SUMMARY:Book Talk With Eric Kim\, Author of 'Korean American\,' with Jean Kim and Kim Severson
DESCRIPTION:Join the Atlanta History Center for an author talk on “Korean American\,” a cookbook paying homage to what it means to be Korean American\, with delectable recipes that explore how new culinary traditions can be forged to honor both your past and your present. \nNew York Times staff writer Eric Kim grew up in Atlanta\, the son of two Korean immigrants. Food has always been central to his story\, from Friday-night Korean barbecue with his family to hybridized Korean-ish meals for one — like Gochujang-Buttered Radish Toast and Caramelized-Kimchi Baked Potatoes — that he makes in his tiny New York City apartment. In his debut cookbook\, Eric shares these recipes alongside insightful\, touching stories and stunning images shot by photographer Jenny Huang.Playful\, poignant\, and vulnerable\, Korean American also includes essays on subjects ranging from the life-changing act of leaving home and returning as an adult\, to what Thanksgiving means to a first-generation family\, complete with a full holiday menu — all the while teaching readers about the Korean pantry\, the history of Korean cooking in America\, and the importance of white rice in Korean cuisine. Recipes like Gochugaru Shrimp and Grits and Smashed Potatoes with Roasted-Seaweed Sour Cream demonstrate Eric’s prowess at introducing Korean pantry essentials to comforting American classics\, while dishes such as Cheeseburger Kimbap and Crispy Lemon-Pepper Bulgogi do the opposite by tinging traditional Korean favorites with beloved American flavor profiles. Baked goods like Milk Bread with Maple Syrup and Gochujang Chocolate Lava Cakes close out the narrative on a sweet note. \nIn this book of recipes and thoughtful insights\, especially about his mother\, Jean\, Eric divulges not only what it means to be Korean American but how\, through food and cooking\, he found acceptance\, strength\, and the confidence to own his story. \nAbout the Author\nEric Kim is a New York Times staff food writer born and raised in Atlanta\, Georgia. He worked his way through the literary and culinary world to eventually become a digital manager at Food Network and a senior editor at Food52\, where he amassed a devoted readership for his “Table for One” column.

SUMMARY:Authors Amplified: Hannah Palmer's 'Flight Path: A Search for Roots beneath the World's Busiest Airport'
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices in global affairs continues with an in-person interview with Hannah Palmer on her first book released\, Flight Path: A Search for Roots beneath the World’s Busiest Airport. \nTickets for the in-person reception are $15 each and include light bites and wine\, beer\, and water available. \nThere will be a meet and greet at 5:00 p.m. in advance of the interview at 5:30 P.M. Can’t make it? The interview portion of this event will also be broadcast and viewable free of charge via Zoom. Please select your preferred option when registering. \nSponsored by Gene Kansas Commercial Real Estate: \n \nHosted by Constellations\, home to the Global Atlanta offices:  \n \nAbout the Book\nIn the months leading up to the birth of her first child\, Hannah Palmer discovers that all three of her childhood houses have been wiped out by the expansion of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Having uprooted herself from a promising career in publishing in her adopted Brooklyn\, Palmer embarks on a quest to determine the fate of her lost homes—and of a community that has been erased by unchecked Southern progress. \nPalmer’s journey takes her from the ruins of kudzu-covered\, airport-owned ghost towns to carefully preserved cemeteries wedged between the runways; into awkward confrontations with airport planners\, developers\, and even her own parents. Along the way\, Palmer becomes an amateur detective\, an urban historian\, and a mother. \nLyrically chronicling the overlooked devastation and beauty along the airport’s fringe communities in the tradition of John Jeremiah Sullivan and Leslie Jamison\, Palmer unearths the startling narratives about race\, power\, and place that continue to shape American cities. \nPart memoir\, part urban history\, Flight Path: A Search for Roots beneath the World’s Busiest Airport is a riveting account of one young mother’s attempt at making a home where there’s little home left. \n  \nAbout the Author\nHannah Palmer works as an urban designer in Atlanta. She writes about the intersection of southern stories and urban landscapes for venues like Art Papers\, Atlanta Magazine\, Southern Cultures\, and Canopy Atlanta. A graduate of Agnes Scott College\, she earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Sewanee: The University of the South. She lives on the southside with her husband and sons. Flight Path is her first book. \n  \nAbout the Series\nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.

Part of his work representing separated families was featured in the CBS News documentary “The Faces of Family Separation\,” released in October 2019. He has also been interviewed as an expert attorney on immigrants’ rights issues on numerous TV and radio shows\, and was featured in John Legend’s “Can’t Just Preach” series. \nOlivares was the first member of his family to attend college. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Yale Law School. \n  \nAbout the Conversation Partner\nFor the past decade\, Laura Rivera has worked in partnership with immigrant and BIPOC communities in the South to advance and defend their legal and human rights. She has contributed to the movement to end the detention of immigrants by litigating class action cases against government agencies and directing a program that provides direct representation to detained immigrants in removal proceedings\, the Southeast Immigrant Freedom Initiative of the Southern Poverty Law Center. She has also represented farmworkers in wage theft and trafficking cases as part of the Farmworker Division of the Georgia Legal Services Program.  Laura is committed to practicing community lawyering\, centering directly impacted people in her work\, and building coalitions.

SUMMARY:Black History Month 2023 - The Power of Storytelling (Virtual Book Discussion)
DESCRIPTION:Every February\, Black History Month recognizes the accomplishments\, contributions\, and legacy of African Americans in U.S. history and society\, from activists and civil rights pioneers to leaders in business\, politics\, academia\, culture\, and more. \nThe Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta regularly engages in the Black History Month celebrations to honor the importance of African Americans in shaping the American nation. This year\, we want to highlight the transformative power of storytelling and its potential to raise awareness and bring about change for a social cause. Throughout human history\, stories and narratives have been an essential way of connecting with an audience and appealing to hearts and minds. They enable us to understand a different experience of the world\, and thus enhance our empathy. In the struggle for social justice and equality\, storytelling was\, and still is\, of particular importance to the history of Black people. \nIn this context\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta organizes a virtual book discussion on the book “I will be different every time: Black Women in Biel” on February 23\, 2023\, 1pm-2pm EST. \nIn collaboration with the Auburn Avenue Research Library\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta will virtually host Fork Burke (Editor) and Myriam Diarra (Editor) who\, in conversation with Dr. Stephane Dunn\, will discuss their latest publication “I will be different every time: Black Women in Biel”. They will provide an insider look into their book which explores the historical and contemporary lived experiences of Black women from the town of Biel/Bienne [Switzerland]. In addition to shedding light on this extraordinary part of the global Black diaspora\, Fork Burke and Myriam Diarra will speak on the importance of storytelling and share ideas on the legacy writing process that preserves the histories of the Black diaspora for future generations.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Mona Tajali's 'Women’s Political Representation in Iran and Turkey: Demanding a Seat at the Table'
DESCRIPTION:Women’s history month comes at a fraught time in Iran and Turkey\, two pivotal nations straddling the Middle East and Asia.  \nIn Iran\, the death of a young woman in police custody has thrown the oppression of women into stark relief\, sparking widespread protests led by women over the forced wearing of headscarves that have pressured the hardline regime.  \nIn Turkey\, meanwhile\, women have been asked to carry much of the trauma from an earthquake that has killed nearly 50\,000 people in the southeastern part of the country. \nThese acute issues comes on top of the chronic lack of representation in both countries. Women in Turkey occupy just 17 percent of available parliamentary seats. In Iran\, it’s just 3 percent.  \nThe event. To explore and compare the factors limiting female participation in politics in both countries\, join Global Atlanta for the season kickoff of Authors Amplified\, a series of virtual book talks in partnership with the Atlanta Global Studies Center spotlighting Georgia voices on international issues.  \nWe’ll be chatting with Agnes Scott College Professor Dr. Mona Tajali\, author of Women’s Political Representation in Iran and Turkey: Demanding a Seat at the Table\, in a podcast-style interview that will be broadcast live from Constellations in downtown Atlanta.  \nAbout the book (text from the publisher): \n\nHow have women in many Muslim-majority countries been able to achieve surprising success despite the significant constraints imposed by conservative gender ideology and authoritarian political parties and systems? Through a comparative focus on Iran and Turkey\, Mona Tajili examines the activities and strategies of women’s rights groups across the ideological spectrum. She explores how various groups have negotiated with political elites in order to bolster female political representation and identifies the conditions that stimulate greater support to ease women’s path to political office. Studying how women’s groups manoeuvre within these structures is important to help our understanding of the gendered politics of autocratic regimes. \n\nAbout the author: \nMona Tajali is associate professor of international relations and women’s\, gender\, and sexuality studies at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta\, Georgia. She has authored (with Homa Hoodfar) Electoral Politics: Making Quotas Work for Women (WLUML 2011)\, and several scholarly articles on gender and politics in the Middle East. Since 2007 she has been collaborating with the research wing of Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) transnational solidarity network and since 2019 serves as a member of its executive board. \nAbout the series and sponsor: \nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.

SUMMARY:General David Petraeus\, Author of Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Join the Atlanta History Center for an Author Talk with General David Petraeus\, author of Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine.  \n\n\n\nTwo leading authorities—an acclaimed historian and the outstanding battlefield commander and strategist of our time—collaborate on a landmark examination of war since 1945. Conflict is both a sweeping history of the evolution of warfare up to Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine\, and a penetrating analysis of what we must learn from the past—and anticipate in the future—in order to navigate an increasingly perilous world. \n\n\n\nIn this deep and incisive study\, General David Petraeus\, who commanded the US-led coalitions in both Iraq\, during the Surge\, and Afghanistan and former CIA director\, and the prize-winning historian Andrew Roberts\, explore over 70 years of conflict\, drawing significant lessons and insights from their fresh analysis of the past. Drawing on their different perspectives and areas of expertise\, Petraeus and Roberts show how often critical mistakes have been repeated time and again\, and the challenge\, for statesmen and generals alike\, of learning to adapt to various new weapon systems\, theories and strategies. Among the conflicts examined are the Arab-Israeli wars\, the Korean and Vietnam Wars\, the two Gulf Wars\, the Balkan wars in the former Yugoslavia\, and both the Soviet and Coalition wars in Afghanistan\, as well as guerilla conflicts in Africa and South America. Conflict culminates with a bracing look at Putin’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine\, yet another case study in the tragic results when leaders refuse to learn from history\, and an assessment of the nature of future warfare. Filled with sharp insight and the wisdom of experience\, Conflict is not only a critical assessment of our recent past\, but also an essential primer of modern warfare that provides crucial knowledge for waging battle today as well as for understanding what the decades ahead will bring. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nGeneral David Petraeus\, US Army (Ret.) is one of the leading battlefield commanders and strategists of our time.  He served over 37 years in the US military culminating his career with six consecutive commands as a general officer\, five of which were in combat\, including command of the Surge in Iraq\, US Central Command\, and NATO/US Forces in Afghanistan.  He subsequently served as Director of the CIA\, following confirmation by the Senate by a vote of 94-0\, during a period of significant achievements in the global war on terror \n\n\n\nGeneral Petraeus is now a Partner with the global investment firm KKR and Chairman of the KKR Global Institute\, which he established in 2013.  He also serves on corporate boards\, is the Kissinger Fellow at Yale University’s Jackson School\, and is the co-author\, with Andrew Roberts\, of Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine. \n\n\n\nGeneral Petraeus graduated with distinction from the US Military Academy\, earned a Ph.D. from Princeton University\, and has held academic appointments at 5 universities in addition to his current position at Yale.  He is also Co-Chairman of the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Global Advisory Council\, Senior Vice President of the Royal United Services Institute\, and a member of the Trilateral Commission\, Council on Foreign Relations\, and Aspen Strategy Group.  \n\n\n\nHis awards include four Defense Distinguished Service Medals\, the Secretary of State’s Distinguished Service Award\, the Bronze Star Medal for Valor\, the Combat Action Badge\, the Ranger tab\, and master parachutist wings.  He has also been decorated by 14 foreign countries and is believed to be the only person in uniform to throw out the first pitch of a World Series game and do the coin toss for a Super Bowl.  He was runner-up to Vladimir Putin for Time Person of the Year in 2007\, the Daily Telegraph Man of the Year\, twice a Time 100 selectee\, three times a Foreign Policy top public intellectual\, Prospect magazine’s Public Intellectual of the Year\, one of US News and World Report’s Top 25 Leaders\, and sanctioned by Russia (in 2022). \n\n\n\nThis event is powered by ATLVets\, in partnership with BENS\, Atlanta Press Club and VETLANTA \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
