Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a renowned editor of The New York Times comes a moving memoir that recounts his life from its start. Beginning with his turbulent childhood as an African American coming of age in the 1950s and 1960s, Mel Watkins pens a poignant and powerful memoir of his life at all stages, including his relationship with his brother who was addicted to drugs and violence and his connection with his grandmother, who inspired him to reach for the sky. “Mel Watkins has written a lovely book—warm and smart—that is much more than a memoir. Ohio and its black population have never been better served.” — Toni Morrison

Book Synopsis Dancing with Strangers by : Inga Clendinnen
Download or read book Dancing with Strangers written by Inga Clendinnen and published by Virago Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancing with Strangersis the most important and compulsively readable book about Australian history and identity to appear for many years. Inga Clendinnen tells the story of what happened between the British settlers of New South Wales and the Australian inhabitants they found there. 'These people mixed with ours,' wrote James Bradley a few days after the First Fleet made landfall in 1788, 'and all hands danced together.' Clendinnen, the distinguished historian of early Spanish America and award-winning author of Tiger's Eyeand Reading the Holocaust,turns her incomparable eye to the extraordinary events attending the first British settlement in Australia. She offers a fresh reading of reports, letters and journals of British participants to reconstruct the difficult path to friendship and conciliation pursued by Arthur Phillip and the local leader Bennelong; and then traces the painful destruction of that hard-won friendship as profound cultural differences asserted themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the family gatherings in her childhood, one stands out in Amina's memory. It is 1979, in Salem India, when a visit to her grandmother's house escalates into an explosive encounter, pitching brother against brother, mother against son. In its aftermath, Amina's father Thomas rushes his family back to their new home in America. And while at first it seems that the intercontinental flight has taken them out of harm's way, his decision sets off a chain of events that will forever haunt Thomas and his wife Kamala; their intellectually furious son, Akhil and the watchful young Amina. Now, twenty years later, Amina receives a phone call from her mother. Thomas has been acting strangely and Kamala needs her daughter back. Amina returns to the New Mexico of her childhood, where her mother has always filled silences with food, only to discover that getting to the truth is not as easy as going home. Confronted with Thomas's unwillingness to talk, Kamala's Born Again convictions, and the suspicion that not everything is what it seems, Amina finds herself at the centre of a mystery so tangled that to make any headway, she has to excavate her family's painful past. And in doing so she must lay her own ghosts to rest.

Download or read book Dancing in the Streets written by Barbara Ehrenreich and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling social commentator and cultural historian comes Barbara Ehrenreich's fascinating exploration of one of humanity's oldest traditions: the celebration of communal joy In the acclaimed Blood Rites, Barbara Ehrenreich delved into the origins of our species' attraction to war. Here, she explores the opposite impulse, one that has been so effectively suppressed that we lack even a term for it: the desire for collective joy, historically expressed in ecstatic revels of feasting, costuming, and dancing. Ehrenreich uncovers the origins of communal celebration in human biology and culture. Although sixteenth-century Europeans viewed mass festivities as foreign and "savage," Ehrenreich shows that they were indigenous to the West, from the ancient Greeks' worship of Dionysus to the medieval practice of Christianity as a "danced religion." Ultimately, church officials drove the festivities into the streets, the prelude to widespread reformation: Protestants criminalized carnival, Wahhabist Muslims battled ecstatic Sufism, European colonizers wiped out native dance rites. The elites' fear that such gatherings would undermine social hierarchies was justified: the festive tradition inspired French revolutionary crowds and uprisings from the Caribbean to the American plains. Yet outbreaks of group revelry persist, as Ehrenreich shows, pointing to the 1960s rock-and-roll rebellion and the more recent "carnivalization" of sports. Original, exhilarating, and deeply optimistic, Dancing in the Streets concludes that we are innately social beings, impelled to share our joy and therefore able to envision, even create, a more peaceable future. "Fascinating . . . An admirably lucid, level-headed history of outbreaks of joy from Dionysus to the Grateful Dead."—Terry Eagleton, The Nation

Book excerpt: "Dancing with a Stranger" is really a warning for dancers. It's the story about a woman who became so engrossed in the love of dancing and beginning anew that she lost her perspective. It's also about a man who was capable of reading her feelings and took advantage of her. She knew it was happening, but most days she didn't care because she constantly measured the trade-offs. She mostly thought that the odds were balanced. In the end she, like many others before and after her, lost in a big way. And she dragged the ones she loved most down with her. Don't make the same mistakes that Katy made.
