"Richard Hamilton's collection, Discordant, is a searing examination of injustice and America's obsession with the military. Built upon personal experiences as a substitute teacher and sustainable agriculturist, this collection is a widely informed and deeply rooted look at the many layers of structural discrimination and the overarching systems that perpetuate inequality. With quotes such as "America is one savage constitution in a bowl" and "Can we suffer their mouthful, blood and vomit, lobelia flowers to resuscitate, to dilate their lungs?" Hamilton works in close conjunction with the US's history of slavery, wars, and empire while simultaneously keeping the present at the foreground and constantly challenging the oppression that has long been commonplace. From criticisms of the US's military-industrial complex to deeply personal, multilayered observations of marginalization, Discordant is a keen-eyed and urgent contemplation on race, class, and the ways in which history still haunts us"--

Marrakech is the heart and lifeblood of Morocco's ancient storytelling tradition. For nearly a thousand years, storytellers have gathered in the Jemaa el Fna, the legendary square of the city, to recount ancient folktales and fables to rapt audiences. But this unique chain of oral tradition that has passed seamlessly from generation to generation is teetering on the brink of extinction. The competing distractions of television, movies and the internet have drawn the crowds away from the storytellers and few have the desire to learn the stories and continue their legacy. Richard Hamilton has witnessed at first hand the death throes of this rich and captivating tradition and, in the labyrinth of the Marrakech medina, has tracked down the last few remaining storytellers, recording stories that are replete with the mysteries and beauty of the Maghreb.

However, one name keeps popping up: Matheson Savings and Trust, the bank that accused Sophie’s father of money laundering. Sounds like a conspiracy to this cub reporter! Determined to follow her lead, Sophie sets out to investigate the weirdness, uncover a conspiracy, and clear her family’s name . . . just as soon as she finishes her homework.
