Book excerpt: The book charts the life of two brothers, from the UK, who were young criminals in the 1960s, in England. They were both sent to prison for malicious wounding and served time in Dover Borstal and Maidstone Prison. On release from Dover Borstal, the younger brother had a three-year career of undetected crime until arrested, but not by the police. He had a bad trip on LSD and called out to God for help, saying Jesus. ''Please help me''. He turned his life around that night, and read the bible to find out who Jesus was and read classical Christian literature. Went on to higher education became a lecturer, and Baptist minister, and taught electronics for over 22 years in colleges of Further and Higher Education. His older brother was unaffected by his conversion from crime to Christ and carried on his flamboyant lifestyle. Twenty-five years later, he too was arrested in the Philippines and given a 16-year prison sentence, where he served his time in New Bilibid Prison. Five years into his prison sentence, he came to an end and felt suicidal and turned to the Lord for help and salvation. On hearing this news, his younger brother, with a Christian friend, went to the Philippines on a preaching mission to the Jails of the Philippines, called Trojan Horse International. They worked with Religious volunteers and many prison inmates within New Bilibid Prison and encouraged 66 inmates, who had turned their backs on their criminal past, to write their testimonies which they published in their book 'Trojan Warriors'.

Download or read book Blitz Boy written by Alf Townsend and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blitz Boy is a fascinating recollection of life in the Blitz and of evacuation to Cornwall. Charismatic author Alf Townsend tells the harrowing and touching tale of what it was like for a young inner-city child to suffer the trials of war at first hand. The mass exodus of kids from Britain's major cities in 1940 was unique and the government's hasty organisation programmes left a lot to be desired. It must have been a shock to rural communities to take in frightened, scruffy, poverty-stricken cases from the poorest areas of Britain's cities. Many of the foster parents who took in these children did so purely for the cash (8s 3d per week). The family which took in Alf and his siblings did not treat them well. There were beatings and other punishments from the foster-mother, who thought nothing of mistreating a six-year-old child. This only ended when the author's real mother turned up on the doorstep to reclaim her children. The author and his siblings remained in Cornwall with their mother until the end of the war to evade the danger of being bombed-out back in London. Eventually, though, they did return to the capital. The sight that greeted them on their return came as a shock. Rows of houses had been destroyed and huge areas had been totally flattened. Although life was tough back in London, at least the Townsend children were back in the fold of their loving family. Alf recalls this time with much fondness, going into the details of day-to-day life back home.

Book Synopsis Christopher Isherwood Inside Out by : Katherine Bucknell
Download or read book Christopher Isherwood Inside Out written by Katherine Bucknell and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunningly intimate exploration of the writer and gay cultural icon and of his lifelong search for authenticity. The story of Christopher Isherwood’s life is one of pilgrimage: away from the constraints of inheritance and empire and toward authenticity and spiritual illumination. Isherwood—the author of Goodbye to Berlin, which inspired Cabaret, and A Single Man—was born the heir to a crumbling English estate. He died an icon of gay liberation in California while his partner of thirty years, Don Bachardy, painted his death portrait. Isherwood began his career depicting the psychological wreckage of World War I. While living in Berlin, he began to write his reputation-making fiction and (with W. H. Auden) plays inspired by the city’s nightlife, its artistic underbelly, its fevered politics. When Hitler took power, he fled with his German boyfriend, who was pursued and arrested by the Gestapo. Isherwood left Europe and found work as a screenwriter in Hollywood, where he became the disciple of a Hindu monk, Swami Prabhavananda. Together they translated the Bhagavad Gita. Isherwood shed his family ghosts and became a chief instigator of the cultural shift that made gay liberation possible. Every step of the journey served his writing; one of our greatest diarists, he recorded his experiences and transformed them in fiction and memoir. Katherine Bucknell charts the quest of the restless, penetrating, blackly comic mind through books, films, foreign lands, love affairs, and collaborations toward self-understanding and happiness. Here is Christopher Isherwood Inside Out.
Book Synopsis The Sleepy Lagoon Murder Case by : Mark A. Weitz
Download or read book The Sleepy Lagoon Murder Case written by Mark A. Weitz and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What began as a neighborhood party during the summer of 1942 led to the largest mass murder trial in California's history. After young Jose Diaz was found murdered near Los Angeles' Sleepy Lagoon reservoir, 600 Mexican Americans were rounded up by the police, 24 were indicted, and 17 were convicted. But thanks to the efforts of crusading lawyers, Hollywood celebrities, and Mexican Americans throughout the nation, all 17 convictions were thrown out in an appellate decision that cited lack of evidence, coerced testimony, deprivation of the right to counsel, and judicial misconduct. Mark Weitz chronicles the Sleepy Lagoon case (People v. Zammora) from the streets of the L.A.'s Mexican-American neighborhoods to the criminal courts, through the appeals process, and to the ultimate release of the convicted. In the process, Weitz opens a window on the uneasy world of Hispanic-Anglo relations, which, exacerbated by an influx of Mexican immigrants, had simmered beneath the surface in California for a century and reached the boiling point by 1942. By demonstrating how an environment of hostility and fear had fostered a breakdown in the legal protections that should have been afforded to the Sleepy Lagoon defendants, Weitz also illuminates a vital episode in the evolution of defendants' rights-including the right to counsel and a fair and impartial trial. As the case unfolded, the prosecution and local media drew ominous comparisons between the supposed dangers posed by the Mexican-American defendants and the threat allegedly posed by thousands of Japanese Americans, whose sympathies had been called into question after Pearl Harbor. Weitz shows how Zammora demonstrates what it is like to literally be tried in the court of public opinion where the "opinion" has been shaped before the trial even begins. Now, as Americans once again feel threatened by outsiders-whether Islamic jihadists or illegal immigrants—Zammora provides a mirror showing us how we acted then compared to how we respond now. While much of what occurred in 1942 L.A. was unique to its time and place, Weitz's compelling narrative shows that many of the social, political, and culture issues that dominated America then are still with us today.
Book Synopsis Dressing for the Culture Wars by : Betty Luther Hillman
Download or read book Dressing for the Culture Wars written by Betty Luther Hillman and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Style of dress has always been a way for Americans to signify their politics, but perhaps never so overtly as in the 1960s and 1970s. Whether participating in presidential campaigns or Vietnam protests, hair and dress provided a powerful cultural tool for social activists to display their politics to the world and became both the cause and a symbol of the rift in American culture. Some Americans saw stylistic freedom as part of their larger political protests, integral to the ideals of self-expression, sexual freedom, and equal rights for women and minorities. Others saw changes in style as the erosion of tradition and a threat to the established social and gender norms at the heart of family and nation. Through the lens of fashion and style, Dressing for the Culture Wars guides us through the competing political and social movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Although long hair on men, pants and miniskirts on women, and other hippie styles of self-fashioning could indeed be controversial, Betty Luther Hillman illustrates how self-presentation influenced the culture and politics of the era and carried connotations similarly linked to the broader political challenges of the time. Luther Hillman’s new line of inquiry demonstrates how fashion was both a reaction to and was influenced by the political climate and its implications for changing norms of gender, race, and sexuality.
