However, when examining the question of whether Black women are being employed equally, it is important to acknowledge that persistent racial disparities continue to exist in the workforce. This resurgence in women's employment is a positive development, indicating progress and opportunities in the labor market. It was a stark reminder of the existing gender disparities in employment and the need for equitable solutions.įast forward to the present, and we see a significant shift in the employment landscape.Ĭompanies now have a higher representation of women on their payrolls than ever before, and the percentage of women aged 25-54 who are employed or actively seeking work has reached a record high. Three years ago, the world experienced a profound upheaval as a global pandemic triggered what was termed a "she-cession," disproportionately impacting women's employment.ĭuring this challenging time, millions of women faced job losses or had to leave the workforce to shoulder caregiving responsibilities for their loved ones.

The novel takes place in the future, in the West Indies. This month I spotlight Anna Burke and her novel Compass Rose ( Bywater Books, 2018), a dystopian high-seas adventure that examines climate refugees, hanging ocean ecosystems, and ways humanity might adapt to rising, warmer oceans while also following the protagonist as she comes of age in an unforgiving-but highly relatable-world. Adam Kirsch, The Global Novel: Writing the World in the 21st Century The local gains dignity, and significance, insofar as it can be seen as a part of a worldwide phenomenon. Life lived here is experienced in its profound and often unsettling connections with life lived elsewhere, and everywhere. In this way, it is faithful to the way the global is actually lived–not through the abolition of place, but as a theme by which place is mediated. The global novel exists, not as a genre separated from and opposed to other kinds of fiction, but as a perspective that governs the interpretation of experience. 6/27/2023 0 Comments Extras by Scott Westerfeld
6/27/2023 0 Comments Ling ma short storiesThey can never express who they are or what they want. The stopping at those crucial moments can be frustrating for a reader, but for me those moments capture a key idea, that most of the characters, while sharply perceptive in their thoughts about each other, almost never can speak their truths face to face. ” ‘Fiction can be a space for the alternate self,’ he would tell them … ‘It often serves as a fantasy space for our other selves.’ ” In a sense, that is a description of what Ling Ma is doing in Bliss Montage, except that she focuses on the other selves trying to be born and often catches them (and stops) just as they are emerging. In “Returning” the narrator quotes her husband describing fiction to his college class. She doesn’t try to build to a knock-out punch but closes many stories at a heightened moment that leaves you on edge and having to think back over how the different strands of narrative have led you to that point. Each of Ling Ma’s stories works by building resemblances, interweaving several stories of different relationships to bring out truths about each one that otherwise might slip by.
