Our Voices II: the DE-Colonial Project will showcase decolonizing projects which work to destable and disquiet colonial built environments. The land, towns, and cities on which we live have always been Indigenous places yet, for the most part our Indigenous value sets and identities have been disregarded or appropriated. Indigenous people continue to be gentrified out of the places to which they belong and neo‐liberal systems work to continuously subjugate Indigenous involvement in decision‐making processes in subtle, but potent ways. However, we are not, and have never been cultural dopes. Rather, we have, and continue to subvert the colonial value sets that overlay our places in important ways.

A collection of short stories from new voices - the cross-currents of mystery, fantasy, science fiction, and romance. Worlds new or perhaps re-visited - but only you will know if this is the stuff of dreams - or nightmares. Wolves that talk to nearly-extinct humans through their minds. Witches that not only represent the five elements, but also the five principles that can defeat all magic. Goddesses who have to work together to defeat a priestess who has mastered social media, and is threatening to use it to zombify the world. How an angel regained her lost wings by finding her true self. A female mechanical genius escapes her failure by learning the finer points of marketing - and its key single core basic. Satire that bites a little close to the truth of our modern times - the political theater that turns deadly - and a woman witness who profits from her mis-statements about abuse, but loses all trust of the people around her...

From one of Italy’s greatest writers, a stunning novel “filled with shimmering, risky, darting observation” (Colm Tóibín) After WWII, a small Italian town struggles to emerge from under the thumb of Fascism. With wit, tenderness, and irony, Elsa, the novel’s narrator, weaves a rich tapestry of provincial Italian life: two generations of neighbors and relatives, their gossip and shattered dreams, their heartbreaks and struggles to find happiness. Elsa wants to imagine a future for herself, free from the expectations and burdens of her town’s history, but the weight of the past will always prove unbearable, insistently posing the question: “Why has everything been ruined?”
