Book excerpt: When a man meets a man, history happens. When a man meets God, miracles happen. Billy Kim was plucked out of poverty and obscurity during wartime in Korea by what could only have been chance—or a miracle. Picked seemingly at random by an American GI to be the houseboy for their barracks in Korea, sixteen-year-old Billy began the path that would bring him to school in America. Later he would go on to be the translator for Billy Graham’s 1973 crusade, a preacher to millions, and an influential global leader for the spread of the gospel. He has been aptly described as the Billy Graham of Asia. The Life of Billy Kim is the story of how God’s work has been revealed in this one man’s life. For anyone looking for guidance as they serve the Lord, Billy Kim’s life will be a powerful inspiration of providence in a surrendered life. This is the story of what God can do through the life of a person extraordinarily surrendered to His will.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her award-winning debut novel, Purple Hibiscus, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was heralded by the Washington Post Book World as the “21st century daughter” of Chinua Achebe. Now, in her masterly, haunting new novel, she recreates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra’s impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria during the 1960s. With the effortless grace of a natural storyteller, Adichie weaves together the lives of five characters caught up in the extraordinary tumult of the decade. Fifteen-year-old Ugwu is houseboy to Odenigbo, a university professor who sends him to school, and in whose living room Ugwu hears voices full of revolutionary zeal. Odenigbo’s beautiful mistress, Olanna, a sociology teacher, is running away from her parents’ world of wealth and excess; Kainene, her urbane twin, is taking over their father’s business; and Kainene’s English lover, Richard, forms a bridge between their two worlds. As we follow these intertwined lives through a military coup, the Biafran secession and the subsequent war, Adichie brilliantly evokes the promise, and intimately, the devastating disappointments that marked this time and place. Epic, ambitious and triumphantly realized, Half of a Yellow Sun is a more powerful, dramatic and intensely emotional picture of modern Africa than any we have had before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth instalment in the 'Memoirs of a Houseboy' series I wasn't looking forward to spending Christmas as part of a house party at Leo's place to begin with. The booze ban by my boyfriends had taken the lustre right off the party season for me. What's Christmas without a flagon of ale or a classy glass of fancy fizz? Boring! A visit to my mother, on the day before Christmas Eve, did nothing to lift my mood. It triggered a welter of memories and emotions that made Christmas seem even less appealing. Stuff the season of goodwill. I just wanted to be left alone to brood. I wasn't given the choice. I was spending Christmas at Leo's, whether I liked it or not. It proved to be eventful in its own way. Details within. Gillibran Brown

Book excerpt: This is a book about the early life of a child who was delivered into the care of nuns and stayed with them up to the age of sixteen. It is a true story that attempts to highlight the kind of issues that caused that time with the nuns to perhaps be more uncomfortable than it should have been. It explains, in the writers own words, the conditions and the abuse that made life inside in that institution less harmonious than it should otherwise have been. It is not presented in any way as a hate mag nor does it attempt to knowingly disparage the work of the nuns in that place or the intentions of their mission in life as a whole. It is certainly designed to present an unvarnished statement of conditions at the time that the writer lived there and it may be a reminder to all previous residents who were forced to live and suffer under the same conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical analysis is followed by a theoretical discussion of its implications for such issues as the mode of production operative in Kenya, the type of class analysis which is appropriate for the country, the role of the state in capital accumulation and class formation, and the possible relevance of Marxist value theory to the analysis of exploitation in Kenya. This book sets new standards for the study of the process of 'drift into dependency' and of the role of the state in the direction of a political economy. It will be invaluable not only to Africanists but to all those involved in the study of the social, political, and economic structure of Third World countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Wald's darkly erotic stories, characters enact the intricate and subtle ways that dominance and submission play a role in their daily lives: a young girl dreams of submitting to a boy who's not interested in controlling her, an ex-convict is so accustomed to serving his cellmate that he cannot adjust to the outside world, a professional dominatrix is beaten at her own game by a psychiatrist, and a student lies his way into the home of an army recruiter in order to become his houseboy. Meeting the Master is a provocative exploration of the pleasures and rituals of dominance and submission.

Book excerpt: An intimate portrait of the postwar lives of Korean children and women Korean children and women are the forgotten population of a forgotten war. Yet during and after the Korean War, they were central to the projection of US military, cultural, and political dominance. Framed by War examines how the Korean orphan, GI baby, adoptee, birth mother, prostitute, and bride emerged at the heart of empire. Strained embodiments of war, they brought Americans into Korea and Koreans into America in ways that defined, and at times defied, US empire in the Pacific. What unfolded in Korea set the stage for US postwar power in the second half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. American destruction and humanitarianism, violence and care played out upon the bodies of Korean children and women. Framed by War traces the arc of intimate relations that served as these foundations. To suture a fragmented past, Susie Woo looks to US and South Korean government documents and military correspondence; US aid organization records; Korean orphanage registers; US and South Korean newspapers and magazines; and photographs, interviews, films, and performances. Integrating history with visual and cultural analysis, Woo chronicles how Americans went from knowing very little about Koreans to making them family, and how Korean children and women who did not choose war found ways to navigate its aftermath in South Korea, the United States, and spaces in between.
