The noun ‘Cong’ symbolises Jeffrey’s different ethnicity and the displeasure his teammates have in being around his culture. This is seen at cricket training when, “Someone kicks his ankle and says, F*ck off, Cong.” The use of the negative connotation ‘Fuck off’ implies the hatred the cricket team and Corrigan as a whole have for the Vietnamese population. Jeffrey’s cricket team displays racist behaviour, bullying Jeffrey constantly because of his culture. Particularly in Corrigan, residents took a strong dislike to Jeffrey Lu and his family due to their belief that all Vietnamese people were communists. Australians were very hostile towards the Vietnamese, treating them with hatred. The Vietnam War was a massive influence on the behaviour of individuals and how they treated the Vietnamese. In the 1960’s, Australians relied on current events including the Vietnam War to form the basis of their values. Australians had a strong hatred for the Vietnamese population.

Tom Penn, Graeber’s editor at Penguin Random House, said the publishing house was “devastated” and called Graeber “a true radical, a pioneer in everything that he did”.

The Labour MP John McDonnell wrote: “I counted David as a much valued friend and ally. The historian Rutger Bregman called Graeber “one of the greatest thinkers of our time and a phenomenal writer”, while the Guardian columnist Owen Jones called him “an intellectual giant, full of humanity, someone whose work inspired and encouraged and educated so many”.

The long-awaited new novel in the New York Times best-selling Darkest Minds series, now a major motion picture. Their private music lessons quickly become about much more than music. When the family flees Africa for London, 11-year-old Roland is sent to a boarding school where he exhibits a prodigious piano talent and meets the young woman who will forever alter his life - Miriam Cornell. Is Roland a suspect? From there we’re swept back in time to Roland’s upbringing in Libya with a stern father and a mother who cowered before him. His wife, we’re told, has “vanished.” There’s a detective in the house, asking questions. The news is filled with ominous headlines about a radiation cloud floating from Chernobyl toward Britain. When we first meet Roland Baines he is a new parent, struggling to his raise his son alone. “Roland occasionally reflected on the events and accidents, personal and global, minuscule and momentous that had formed and determined his existence.” That one sentence in Ian McEwan’s new novel, “Lessons,” nicely sums up the book.

The MacTeers also seem to have much stronger agency, and are never really passive victims in the way that the Breedloves are. Their situation is a powerful contrast to the MacTeers, who are of slender means but have a strong family unit. Their story seems in many ways to be deterministic, as they are often the victims of forces over which they have no control. The Breedloves are poor, unhappy, and troubled. The prelude frames the story so that the reader knows from the beginning that Pecola's story ends tragically. Pecola, we are told in the prelude, will be raped by her father by novel's end. The novel's focus, however, is on a girl named Pecola Breedlove. Claudia MacTeer lives with her parents and her sister in the humble MacTeer family house in Lorrain, Ohio. This device allows Morrison to employ a reflective adult narrator without losing the innocent perspective of a child. At the time that the main events of the plot take place, Claudia is a nine-year-old girl. The first section of each season is narrated by Claudia MacTeer, a woman whose memories frame the events of the novel. The four larger units begin with "Autumn" and end in "Summer," with each unit being split into smaller sections. The Bluest Eye is split into an untitled prelude and four large units, each named after a season. Returning from a walk, father and daughter are stopped by three strangers who break into their home and attack them. It’s there, in the baking South African heat, where Disgrace's most cataclysmic scene takes place. After she breaks it off and makes a formal complaint to the university, David is – partially through his own refusal to apologise, like a sort of inverted John Proctor – exiled from his job, and goes to seek refuge on a small farm owned by his daughter Lucy. The novel follows David Lurie, a middle-aged English professor in Cape Town who has an affair with a younger student, Melanie. It was more like a feud I felt unable to resolve. On the contrary, I thought about it strangely often. It’s not that I ever forgot about Disgrace. It was 2005, my first year at university, and the same dog-eared copy that was stuffed into the back pocket of my jeans that day has sat, untouched, on the bookshelf of every home I’ve lived in since. I can still remember, fifteen years ago, walking through the frost-bitten campus trying to escape the feeling of horror left in me by J.
