Book Synopsis North American Monsters by : David J. Puglia
Download or read book North American Monsters written by David J. Puglia and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mining a mountain of folklore publications, North American Monsters unearths decades of notable monster research. Nineteen folkloristic case studies from the last half-century examine legendary monsters in their native habitats, focusing on ostensibly living creatures bound to specific geographic locales. A diverse cast of scholars contemplate these alluring creatures, feared and beloved by the communities that host them—the Jersey Devil gliding over the Pine Barrens, Lieby wriggling through Lake Lieberman, Char-Man stalking the Ojai Valley, and many, many more. Embracing local stories, beliefs, and traditions while neither promoting nor debunking, North American Monsters aspires to revive scholarly interest in local legendary monsters and creatures and to encourage folkloristic monster legend sleuthing.
Book Synopsis Critical Perspectives on Indo-Caribbean Women's Literature by : Joy Allison Indira Mahabir
Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Indo-Caribbean Women's Literature written by Joy Allison Indira Mahabir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first collection on Indo-Caribbean women's writing and the first work to offer a sustained analysis of the literature from a range of theoretical and critical perspectives, such as ecocriticism, feminist, queer, post-colonial and Caribbean cultural theories. The essays not only lay the framework of an emerging and growing field, but also critically situate internationally acclaimed writers such as Shani Mootoo, Lakshmi Persaud and Ramabai Espinet within this emerging tradition. Indo-Caribbean women writers provide a fresh new perspective in Caribbean literature, be it in their unique representations of plantation history, anti-colonial movements, diasporic identities, feminisms, ethnicity and race, or contemporary Caribbean societies and culture. The book offers a theoretical reading of the poetics, politics and cultural traditions that inform Indo-Caribbean women's writing, arguing that while women writers work with and through postcolonial and Caribbean cultural theories, they also respond to a distinctive set of influences and realities specific to their positioning within the Indo-Caribbean community and the wider national, regional and global imaginary. Contributors visit the overlap between national and transnational engagements in Indo-Caribbean women's literature, considering the writers' response to local or nationally specific contexts, and the writers' response to the diasporic and transnational modalities of Caribbean and Indo-Caribbean communities.
Book Synopsis The Massacura Man - a Folk Play for Young People by : Paloma Mohamed
Download or read book The Massacura Man - a Folk Play for Young People written by Paloma Mohamed and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A play about moral courage, social justice, respect for the environment, history and tradition. "The Massacuraman, engages mythology in its use of the Massacuraman, a feared demon figure who inhabits the Guyanese rivers and creeks. Despite his dreaded reputation, he is, in fact, a protector of the forest environment similar to the role played by Papa Bois of the Eastern Caribbean and Trinidad. The villagers live in fear of the supernatural monster, but his anger is basically provoked by their own monstrous acts and abuses. This is sustained in the plot when the Massacuraman is blamed for the villainy of one of the residents, then the damage done is atoned for by a most unexpected sacrifice. " Al Creighton, Director Center for Amerindian Studies, University of Guyana."`The Massacuraman', is darker and takes readers on a roller-coaster of emotions: hope, fear, dread, outrage - but the ending is more than a little controversial - though well handled. Mohamed encourages us to develop a real empathy for Ovid - perhaps his failure to take action over his wife's misdemeanours accounts for what happens to him in the end!... Mohamed has successfully incorporated Caribbean mythology and folklore into contemporary situations and/or at least made Caribbean mythology and folklore accessible for contemporary readers/performers and audiences ....delightful!"Black and Asian Studies Association Review

Book excerpt: Nothing ever happens on the Otter Lake reservation. But when 16-year-old Tiffany discovers her father is renting out her room, she's deeply upset. Sure, their guest is polite and keeps to himself, but he's also a little creepy. Little do Tiffany, her father, or even her astute Granny Ruth suspect the truth. The mysterious Pierre L'Errant is actually a vampire, returning to his tribal home after centuries spent in Europe. But Tiffany has other things on her mind: her new boyfriend is acting weird, disputes with her father are escalating, and her estranged mother is starting a new life with somebody else. Fed up and heartsick, Tiffany threatens drastic measures and flees into the bush. There, in the midnight woods, a chilling encounter with L'Errant changes everything ... for both of them. A mesmerizing blend of Gothic thriller and modern coming-of-age novel, The Night Wanderer is unlike any other vampire story.
