Ackerman, Diane. The zookeeper's wife. 1st ed. New York : W. W. Norton, c2007.
"Jan and Antonina Zabinski were Polish Christian zookeepers horrified by Nazi racism, who managed to save over three hundred people. Yet their story has fallen between the seams of history." "Drawing on Antonina's diary and other historical sources, Diane Ackerman re-creates Antonina's life as "the zookeeper's wife," responsible for her own family, the zoo animals, and their "Guests" - Resistance activists and refugee Jews, many of whom Jan had smuggled from the Warsaw Ghetto. Ironically, the empty zoo cages helped to hide scores of doomed people, who were code-named after the animals whose cages they occupied. Others hid in the nooks and crannies of the house itself." "Ackerman explores the role of nature in both kindness and savagery, and she unravels the disturbing obsession at the core of Nazism: both a worship of nature and its violation, as humans sought to control the genome of the entire planet."--BOOK JACKET.

Fulbeck, Kip. Paper bullets : a fictional autobiography. Seattle : University of Washington Press, c2001.
Crisscrossing the already ill-defined postmodern borders between fact and fiction, autobiography and novel, Fulbeck (performance artist and academic, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) explores the difficult terrain of racial and ethnic identity. Calling this volume "fictional autobiography," the author recounts his southern California childhood and youth in an inventive coming-of-age tale noteworthy for its dizzying array of pop culture references and for its candor and compassion. At the heart of this loosely structured, generation-x-flavored work may be a recognizable bildungsroman, but it is one complicated by the narrator's status as a "Hapa," a person of mixed Asian and Caucasian heritage. Like other contemporary Asian American writers and memoirists who navigate the emotionally turbulent waters of biculturalism--for example, Garrett Hongo, Maxine Hong Kingston---Fulbeck documents his resistance to defining himself narrowly in a nation that has yet to come to terms with biracialism. Though in places the author's own emphasis on sexual matters threatens to diminish the substance of its social, cultural, and political themes, this engaging first novel is recommended for all collections.

Giving the broadest scope to the terms human rights & freedoms, this reference encompasses constitutional rights & freedoms as well as those addressed in international & regional agreements. Through entries that define & describe concepts & terms, to text excerpts of documents, charts depicting global comparisons, essays on organizations, & biographies of activists & theorists, this reference will serve the research & information needs of students, scholars, activists, & interested citizens. As the title suggests, International Encyclopedia of Human Rights: Freedoms, Abuses, & Remedies goes beyond the abstract to include practical information on remedies for violations of a person's rights & freedoms by a national government, & on the private & government rights organizations that assist in reporting on or enforcing human rights. All around the world, there is a growing interest in developing a universal language for human rights & the procedures for remedying violations. International Encyclopedia of Human Rights: Freedoms, Abuses, & Remedies is written for both students of the subject & those who are actively working in the field. This new reference work points readers in the right direction for enforcing their rights rather than merely setting them forth in the abstract.
