Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California has long been a bellwether state -- a place where crucial trends that eventually spread throughout the U.S. first take root. Its national and international influence is driven by one of the largest economies in the world, by its extraordinary technological and cultural innovations, and by a disproportionately affluent and activist population larger than that of entire countries. In short, the issues of California are the issues that are likely to have an impact on the rest of America, and college students in California are well served by studying, thinking, and writing about their home state in their composition courses. California Dreams and Realities is the one composition reader that allows students to do just that.

Book excerpt: Naráyana’s best-seller gives its reader much more than “Friendly Advice.” In one handy collection—closely related to the world-famous Pañcatantra or Five Discourses on Worldly Wisdom —numerous animal fables are interwoven with human stories, all designed to instruct wayward princes. Tales of canny procuresses compete with those of cunning crows and tigers. An intrusive ass is simply thrashed by his master, but the meddlesome monkey ends up with his testicles crushed. One prince manages to enjoy himself with a merchant’s wife with her husband’s consent, while another is kicked out of paradise by a painted image. This volume also contains the compact version of King Víkrama’s Adventures, thirty-two popular tales about a generous emperor, told by thirty-two statuettes adorning his lion-throne.

This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California and the Melancholic American Identity in Joan Didion’s Novels: Exiled from Eden focuses on the concept of Californian identity in the fiction of Joan Didion. This identity is understood as melancholic, in the sense that the critics following the tradition of both Sigmund Freud and Walter Benjamin use the word. The book traces the progress of the way Californian identity is portrayed in Joan Didion’s novels, starting with the first two in which California plays the central role, Run River and Play It As It Lays, through A Book of Common Prayer to Democracy and The Last Thing He Wanted, where California functions only as a distant point of reference, receding to the background of Didion’s interests. Curiously enough, Didion presents Californian history as a history of white settlement, disregarding whole chapters of the history of the region in which the Californios and Native Americans, among other groups, played a crucial role: it is this reticence that the monograph sees as the main problem of Didion’s fiction and presents it as the silent center of gravity in Didion’s oeuvre. The monograph proposes to see the melancholy expressed by Didion’s fiction organized into four losses: of Nature, History, Ethics, and Language; around which the main analytical chapters are constructed. What remains unrepresented and silenced comes back to haunt Didion’s fiction, and it results in a melancholic portrayal of California and its identity – which is the central theme this monograph addresses.

With a population of over 39 million people, California is the most populous state in the United States. From the stunning beaches to the quaint coastal towns to the majestic mountains and deserts, California has something for everyone. In this book, we will explore together the best sights, activities and culinary highlights of the "Golden State". History The history of California dates back to before European colonization. Aboriginal people such as the Kumeyaay, Tongva, Miwok and Ohlone lived in this area and had their own cultures and languages. In the 19th century, California became known for its gold discoveries, which sparked a gold rush and attracted people from all over the world. Today, there are still places in California where you can step back in time and learn more about the state's history. Culture California is a melting pot of different cultures and lifestyles. Cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles have a rich arts and music scene, while smaller coastal towns like Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara have a laid-back vibe. California cuisine is known for its variety and quality, from Napa Valley wineries to the best fish tacos in San Diego. There are also plenty of opportunities to buy handicrafts and souvenirs from local artisans and vendors. Natural California is known for its breathtaking landscapes and natural beauty. From the beaches of San Diego to the mountains of Yosemite National Park, there are plenty of ways to get up close and personal with nature. Hiking, rock climbing, surfing, and swimming are just a few of the activities visitors can enjoy in California. There are also many animal and plant species that are unique to California and cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Economy California is also one of the economically strongest states in the U.S. and has the largest gross domestic product of any state. California's GDP is comparable to that of countries like Germany and Japan. California's economy is diversified and includes many industries such as technology, entertainment, agriculture, and tourism. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, mild climate, and natural resources make California an attractive destination for investment and business start-ups. Practical information California is a large state and there are many ways to travel from one place to another. From the bustling streets of Los Angeles to the winding coastal roads, there are plenty of adventures to be had.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 Miriam Matthews Ethnic History Award from the Los Angeles City Historical Society As Southern California was reimagining leisure and positioning it at the center of the American Dream, African American Californians were working to make that leisure an open, inclusive reality. By occupying recreational sites and public spaces, African Americans challenged racial hierarchies and marked a space of Black identity on the regional landscape and social space. In Living the California Dream Alison Rose Jefferson examines how African Americans pioneered America’s “frontier of leisure” by creating communities and business projects in conjunction with their growing population in Southern California during the nation’s Jim Crow era. By presenting stories of Southern California African American oceanfront and inland leisure destinations that flourished from 1910 to the 1960s, Jefferson illustrates how these places helped create leisure production, purposes, and societal encounters. Black communal practices and economic development around leisure helped define the practice and meaning of leisure for the region and the nation, confronted the emergent power politics of recreational space, and set the stage for the sites as places for remembrance of invention and public contest. Living the California Dream presents the overlooked local stories that are foundational to the national narrative of mass movement to open recreational accommodations to all Americans and to the long freedom rights struggle.
