"Steppenrutenpflanze" ist die Erinnerung einer Kindheit in einem kurdischen Gebiet der Türkei. Auf Streifzügen durch den dörflichen Alltag und durch die Jahreszeiten, die das ländliche Leben prägen, tritt dem Hörer die facettenreiche Kultur dieses Volkes entgegen. Vermittelt durch den unverstellt-kindlichen Blick bleiben aber auch die Benachteiligungen der Kurden durch die türkische Verwaltung, die sprachliche Diskriminierung und politische Verfolgung nicht verborgen. Für die eigenen Lebensbedingungen stehen sinnbildlich die Märchen und Geschichten, die man den Kindern erzählt.

They began with nothing - not even a football - yet in a few years were playing for the state championship on the highest level of Texas football. This is a winning tribute to a courageous band of underdogs from a time when America desperately needed fresh hope and big dreams.

To most of us "mainlanders," the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are resort destinations, summer homes for the Kennedys, the Obamas, and Patriots coach Bill Belichick. But after the tourists and jetsetters leave, the cold weather descends, and the local shop owners, carpenters, and fishermen ready themselves for the main event: high school football. For over 50 years, the local teams have been locking horns every November. They play for pride, a coveted trophy, and, very often, a shot at the league championship.
