De bananengeneratie: over het dubbelleven van Chinese Nederlanders van nu
Pete Wu is een banaan. Althans, zo noemt zijn moeder hem liefkozend: ‘geel van buiten en wit vanbinnen’. Hij is een tweede generatie Chinese Nederlander, die midden in de Nederlandse samenleving staat. Toch wordt Pete ongewild herinnerd aan zijn anders-zijn. Door mensen die hem vragen waar hij nou écht vandaan komt. Of anders wel door de gemiddelde carnavalshit, Meneer Cheung uit Ik hou van Holland, of Gordon: ‘Wat ga je zingen? Nummer 39 met rijst?’ In De bananengeneratie gaat Pete in gesprek met ‘mede bananen’ die net als hij worstelen met hun Chinese Nederlanderschap. Hij praat met hen over generatieclashes, daten, discriminatie en eenzaamheid. En over het gevecht om jezelf te mogen zijn – bevrijd van clichés.

Mantide
Mia ha ventisette anni e guarda ogni giorno il peggio del mondo: fa la moderatrice di contenuti e deve censurare i video più violenti che circolano online. Da quando il suo ex fidanzato Ruben è morto folgorato nella vasca da bagno, vive in un loop di nichilismo e rimorso, anestetizzata da quel lavoro e dagli psicofarmaci, ravvivata solo a tratti dall’amicizia di Dennis e Miriam. Il passato con Ruben è un archivio di ricordi feroci come quelle immagini che deve rimuovere dalla rete ma non può cancellare dalla sua memoria: ricatti emotivi di lui, che la accusa di consumarlo come una mantide; e paura di abbandonarlo. Ma quando si imbatte nel video di Sofia, una ragazza che le somiglia e che si butta da un ponte, Mia si riscuote e si mette sulle sue tracce: ne incontra il fidanzato Lapo, musicista in ascesa, e l’amica Margot, escort e ballerina in un night, e da entrambi si lascia sedurre, in una girandola di specchi. Finché Mia, con Miriam e Margot, decide di darsi un’alternativa, in un patto di sorellanza fuori dagli schemi che riuscirà a rompere il guscio del suo dolore. “Mantide” racconta il percorso di una giovane donna che sfida la perdita e la solitudine, ribellandosi all’atavico senso di colpa femminile per proiettarsi in avanti, verso la luce di una se stessa futura.

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)
There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.
