Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World
by Iddo Landau
Oxford University Press, 2017

New Books Area
Call Number:
BD431 .L257 2017
Available for four-week check out with your SWC photo ID card

Is it possible for life to be meaningful when the world is filled with suffering, and when so much depends merely upon chance? Landau argues our lives often are, or could be made, meaningful-- we've just been setting the bar too high for evaluating what meaning there is. He offers new theories and practical advice that awaken us to the meaning already present in our lives and demonstrates how we can enhance it.

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!

 Did you know in the Library’s book collection there is a great title honoring this theme?

The Decolonized Eye: Filipino American Art and Performance 
Author: Sarita Echavez See
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press, 2009
Print version Call Number: NX512.3.F55 S44 2009

The Decolonized Eye presents Filipino American art and performance from artists working in New York and California since the 1980s. The author highlights how these artists map and contest America’s amnesia about its colonization of the Philippines.

This perspective is grounded in specific examples of these artists’ visual and performance art, comedy, and film-making, and it helps define being an Asian Pacific American.

Come to the Library to see more Asian Pacific American Heritage Month-related titles on display.

Cheers!
