"Johnny Kellock verschwand am 1. August 1959. Zumindest war das der Tag nach dem Tag, an dem ihn noch jemand gesehen hatte. (...) Puff. Zack. Weg. Keiner wusste genau, was Johnny zu diesem Schritt bewegt hatte. Es war, als würde man an einem Wollfaden ziehen, immer weiter und weiter, bis der ganze Pullover aufgetrennt ist und man ein wirres Knäuel vor den Füßen liegen hat, und dann kommt jemand auf die glorreiche Idee und sagt, man soll das Ende finden, mit dem man begonnen hat. Aber wie Mama ganz richtig sagt, jeder sollte bei seiner Geschichte bleiben. Meine beginnt, als Johnny schon verschwunden war."
Es ist ein heißer Sommer in Halifax im Jahr 1959 und die 12-jährige Rosalie hat ein Geheimnis, das ihr auf der Seele liegt: Es ist allein ihre Schuld, dass ihre Mutter gestürzt ist und sich den Knöchel gebrochen hat. Um auszuhelfen heuert Rosalies Vater den Nachbarsjungen David an, den Totengräber, wie er von den anderen Kindern immer nur genannt wird. Aber dann verschwindet Rosalies 17-jähriger Cousin Johnny, und der Sturz der Mutter ist auf einmal nicht mehr so wichtig. Gemeinsam mit David, mit dem sie sich langsam anfreundet, versucht Rosalie das Verschwinden von Johnny aufzuklären. Und erfährt dabei, welche Geheimnisse und wie viel Liebe ihre Familie zusammenhalten
Den saudiarabiske prinsesse Sultana er gift med den yderst velhavende prins Kareem, og hun lever luksuriøst i deres overdådige palads omgivet af tjenestefolk. Men skjult bag paladsets mure og sit slør, drømmer Sultana om et helt andet liv, et liv med frihed til at have sine egne meninger og udrette noget.
Det elitære og indflydelsesrige miljø, som prinsesse Sultana tilhører, skinner nok på overfladen, men har i virkeligheden en grim bagside. Sultana kan berette om alt fra tvangsægteskaber til stofmisbrug og pædofili, for i magtens og pengenes epicenter lurer barbariet bag hvert hjørne. Parallelt med Sultanas voksende afsmag for sin egen verden, vokser modstanden mod den royale familie også udenfor paladset, og i befolkningen begynder en islamisk fundamentalisme at ulme.
Prinsesse "Sultana" er en virkelig person. Hun er en del af den saudiske kongefamilie og nært beslægtet med kongen. Gennem sin amerikanske veninde, forfatteren Jean Sasson, fortæller hun anonymt den grusomme sandhed om sit liv bag sløret. "Prinsesse Sultanas kamp" er nummer tre i serien af prinsesse-bøger fra Jean Sassons pen. Den kan læses i forlængelse af de to første eller selvstændigt. -

Culture is increasingly important to American social science, but in what way? This book addresses the core issues of the sociology of culture-questions about the social role of meaning, along with those about the methods sociologists use to study culture and society-in a manner that makes clear their relevance to sociology as a whole. Part I consists of essays by leading cultural sociologists on how the turn to culture has changed the sociological study of organizations, economic action, and television, and concludes with Georgina Born's methodological statement on the sociology of art and cultural production. Part II contains a highly original, and at times heated, debate between Richard Biernacki and John H. Evans on the appropriateness of abstract and quantifiable coding schemes for the sociological study of culture. Ranging from the philosophy of science to the concrete, practical problems of interpreting masses of cultural data, the debate raises the controversy over the interpretation of culture and the explanation of social action to a new level of sophistication.
