🌸 Particularly given the recent burqa and hijab 🌸 Particularly given the recent burqa and hijab bans across the European continent, Modesty: A Fashion Paradox represents a valuable and urgent contribution to discussions surrounding religion and curbing civil liberties. Featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue Arabia, Grazia Middle East, and on Refinery29, Modesty: A Fashion Paradox examines the evolution of the modest fashion movement through religious, feminist, political, and cultural lenses. A brilliant book for anyone interested in breaking stereotypes and learning more about modest fashion, regardless of faith. * ‘A nuanced and insightful study of the modest fashion movement in the Muslim world and beyond.’ - Publishers Weekly * Available from Bookshop.org, Bookdepository.com, Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. * #muslimfashion #feminism #hijabban #modesty #modestfashion #breakingstereotypes
🎉 Hi everyone! We are the recent recipients of 🎉 Hi everyone! We are the recent recipients of an English PEN Translates grant and we’d like to share our excitement! 🎉 As mentioned briefly in a previous post, Neem Tree Press received a literary award from English PEN to support an upcoming work in translation. We are thrilled and grateful to have received support for The Djinn’s Apple, an Algerian title. This book fits perfectly with the mission of our publishing house: to broaden and change perspectives, opening the door to cultures both near and far. Further details on The Djinn’s Apple:
 “The youth in the Middle East and Africa are often portrayed in the media as radicalised angry individuals, struggling to rise out of poverty, and uneducated. Young girls in particular are portrayed as powerless in their societies. The Djinn’s Apple counters these narratives with a young teen female protagonist (Nardeen) who decides her own destiny. Though the story is set hundreds of years ago, Nardeen faces many of the obstacles that women face today: pigeonholing of women for specific professions only, that her external frame is more valuable than her inner qualities, that she needs not question male authority figures if she wants to survive. More than ever in today’s ever narrowing perception of ‘outsiders’, English young adults need to be reading such stories to challenge the discrimination which they so easily digest from news stories and political figures. Furthermore, as African literature is still on the margins of the publishing sphere (whether written originally in English or translated to English), it is important more than ever for young adults to read diverse voices and vicariously live through experiences vastly different from their own.” - Archna Sharma, Founder and Director of Neem Tree Press * Sawad Hussain will be translating this book and we’re currently looking at a spring 2023 release. Watch this space for further updates and other indie publishing tidbits. We have some very exciting books in the works that we can’t wait to share with you all! * #EnglishPEN #literaryaward #indiepublishing #independentpress #neemtreepress #africanliterature #translatedliterature
Penniless and desperate to escape middle England, Penniless and desperate to escape middle England, Billy is working as a grave-digger, the ultimate dead-end job. To make matters worse, he’s a virgin, and there’s no hope of him meeting a girl any time soon. The only women at work are in coffins. Meeting the older, mysterious Eva changes everything… A scramble across Europe follows, involving hitch-hiking with truckers, walking with refugees, and an encounter with suicidal cows. But the further Billy goes, the harder it is to be sure what he’s chasing - and what he’s running from. * Winner of the Spotlight First Novel Prize, this coming-of-age story is filled with humour and heart, and we could not be prouder to have Cows Can’t Jump on our list here at Neem Tree Press. The book is available online wherever you buy your books: Bookshop.org, Waterstones, Hive, Foyles, Book Depository, Amazon, etc. Happy reading! #neemtreepress #indiepublishing #independentpress #supportindiebookstoresifyoucan #karlmarxisburiedhere
