Book Synopsis The Dragon Fruit Orchard by : Ngan Ha
Download or read book The Dragon Fruit Orchard written by Ngan Ha and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the journey of a young woman who was profoundly affected by the war in her home country of Vietnam. She was thrown into the tragedy of the collapse of South Vietnam in 1975, escaped alone to the United States and established her life here as a medical doctor. She struggled with the profound cultural shock, learned to grow and deal with the prejudices against her perceived unconventional lifestyle, and protected her integrity. The second part of the book is about the saga to adopt an infant from Vietnam alone; how she fought all the obstacles and the stigma of single motherhood in her culture to triumphantly bring the child to the US. In doing so, she managed to raise her child alone as a full-time professional and found happiness and peace of mind. A deeply moving, emotionally-harrowing tale of one woman’s journey of immigration––first as an emigrant to the United States from her home in Vietnam, next as a single woman striving to adopt a child from her native country. Ngan Ha ‘s remarkable story is a triumph, one propelled by the author’s dreams and fierce determination. ––Amy Friedman, author of Desperado’s Wife

Book excerpt: When the only thing left to hide behind is a mask, you get desperate. I used to take photos of crimes as they happened, afraid to intervene. I was just trying to help my police department keep up with civil unrest in the middle of a war with Centauri, a country convinced we killed their prince. Their mercenary, Lioness, blew up part of the city. When she left my best friend covered in burns, I understood photos were not enough to protect people. I found the corruption that danced through our country’s War Office trying to appease the enemy enough to keep our soldiers alive. They want Spades of all people, the boy that tells nothing but lies. I have learned that when you don’t have a name, people think of you when they say, “Somebody should fix this.” So I became Revolutionary, and I am demanding a revolt to free my home from the domineering grip of the enemy.

Book Synopsis Kichwa English Shimiyuk Kamu Dictionary by : Santiago David Gualapuro Gualapuro

This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante su etapa de formación académica, Santiago David Gualapuro Gualapuro formó parte del Programa de Diversidad Étnica de la Universidad San Francisco de Quito USFQ y obtuvo el título de Ingeniería Agroempresas. Este programa tiene como objetivo apoyar a los estudiantes indígenas, afroecuatorianos y otras minorías a cursar sus estudios por méritos académicos y deseos de superación para contribuir al desarrollo científico, social, económico y cultural de la sociedad ecuatoriana. Poco tiempo después Santiago David decide emprender su viaje a Canadá, para así apoyar a costear la educación de sus tres hermanos, quienes en ese preciso momento estaban estudiando diferentes carreras en la USFQ: Moisés (Biotecnología), Miguel Ángel (Arquitectura) y Digna (Medicina). En el extranjero, Santiago David decide empezar el programa de maestría en la Universidad de Alberta, que está catalogada entre las primeras cinco universidades de dicho país. Es así como él detecta que no existe un diccionario quichua en inglés. ¡Eureka! Es entonces cuando Santiago David se pone en contacto con un grupo de lingüistas de la Universidad de Alberta y comienza a trabajar en el primer diccionario inglés-quichua. El mundo del lenguaje cautiva a Santiago David, y es así como un exalumno de la USFQ aplica a su doctorado en la Universidad de Ohio, precisamente en lingüística. En Ecuador, Santiago David contacta al profesor de Antropología Lingüística y Kichwa, Simeon Floyd, parte del Colegio de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades (COCISOH), para trabajar en conjunto en el proyecto editorial: Kichwa English Shimiyuk Kamu Dictionary. Simeon relaciona el dialecto planteado por el autor en la obra con la cultura otavaleña. Tal es así que realiza el estudio introductorio para ayudar a los lectores a comprender la diversidad que comprehende el quichua en Ecuador y en países de la región. Por esta razón, la obra se concentra en el dialecto hablado en la provincia de Imbabura. Este diccionario marca un precedente en los estudios lingüísticos y filológicos del quichua. De hecho, la obra busca estrechar la brecha de los estudios internacionales con respecto a la diversidad de lenguas de la región.

Book excerpt: "A year into her dream job at a cutthroat Silicon Valley startup, Cassie finds herself trapped in a corporate nightmare. Between the long hours, toxic bosses, and unethical projects, she also struggles to reconcile the glittering promise of a city where obscene wealth lives alongside abject poverty. Ivy League grads complain about the snack selection from a conference room with a view of houseless people bathing in the bay. Startup burnouts leap into the paths of commuter trains and men literally set themselves on fire in the streets. Though isolated, Cassie is never alone. From her earliest memory, a miniature black hole has been her constant companion. It feeds on her depression and anxiety, its size changing in relation to her distress. The black hole watches, but it also waits. Its relentless pull draws Cassie ever-closer as the world around her unravels. When her CEO's demands cross an illegal threshold and she ends up unexpectedly pregnant, Cassie must decide whether the tempting fruits of Silicon Valley are really worth it. Sharp but vulnerable, funny yet unsettling, Ripe portrays one millennial woman's journey through our late-capitalist hellscape and offers a brilliantly incisive look at the absurdities of modern life"--
