Book Synopsis I Am Nobody's Slave by : Lee Hawkins
Download or read book I Am Nobody's Slave written by Lee Hawkins and published by Amistad Press. This book was released on 2025-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist and former Wall Street Journal writer exhaustively examines his family's legacy of post-enslavement trauma and resilience, in this riveting memoir--a soulful, shocking, and spellbinding read that blends the raw power of Natasha Tretheway's Memorial Drive and the insights of Clint Smith's How the Word is Passed. I Am Nobody's Slave tells the story of one Black family's pursuit of the American Dream through the impacts of systemic racism and racial violence. This book examines how trauma from enslavement and Jim Crow shaped their outlook on thriving in America, influenced each generation, and how they succeeded despite these challenges. To their suburban Minnesotan neighbors, the Hawkinses were an ideal American family, embodying strength and success. However, behind closed doors, they faced the legacy of enslavement and apartheid. Lee Hawkins, Sr. often exhibited rage, leaving his children anxious and curious about his protective view of the world. Thirty years later, his son uncovered the reasons for his father's anxiety and occasional violence. Through research, he discovered violent deaths in his family for every generation since slavery, mostly due to white-on-Black murders, and how white enslavers impacted the family's customs. Hawkins explores the role of racism-triggered childhood trauma and chronic stress in shortening his ancestors' lives, using genetic testing, reporting, and historical data to craft a moving family portrait. This book shows how genealogical research can educate and heal Americans of all races, revealing through their story the story of America--a journey of struggle, resilience, and the heavy cost of ultimate success.

Book excerpt: In this, the fourth volume of Tony Benn’s diaries, the Labour Government continues its fight for survival. Important developments are occurring both at home and internationally. In Britain, Benn as Secretary of State for Energy is directly involved with Windscale and decisions about nuclear power and oil policy. Abroad, the Government is concerned with Carter’s reappraisal of American foreign policy, the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and problems of EEC membership. In the Labour party itself, new forces of radicalism and reform are emerging, resulting in changes in Labour’s policies and the ultimate formation of the SDP.

With Labour voters defecting, the scene is set for the Thatcher years.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Golden Door by : Ali Master
Download or read book Beyond the Golden Door written by Ali Master and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful and inspiring memoir, a Pakistani immigrant shares his story of finding new freedoms and a new faith in America. It’s easy to talk about freedom. But unless someone has lived in a world that suffocates freedom, it’s difficult to appreciate the liberty found in America. This is the true story of a Pakistani Muslim who immigrates to the United States for college and discovers five transformational freedoms along the way: the freedom to fail and start over, to love, to choose one’s faith, to be an entrepreneur, and to self-govern. Contrasting these precious freedoms with the life he lived in Pakistan, Ali’s story reveals that God is the true source of liberty as He works in people’s lives to bring about redemption. A call to value and preserve American freedoms, Beyond the Golden Door is also an invitation for readers to consider ultimate freedom in Jesus Christ.

Kabir gathers that the prism is no ordinary stone. Once white light enters the prism the light breaks in to seven distinctive colours. Each colour represents a different land. The Inky Indigo gatekeeper, Neel tells Kabir that he (Kabir) has been chosen as the current prism keeper and the seven worlds shall be his to explore. Each world shall throw open a quest for him and he must rise to the challenge. For now the Inky Indigo seas need his urgent help. Their princess Matsya has been captured by the evil sea monster Kapatraja. He beseeches Kabir to help rescue her. Soon Kabir and his friends, Nimki and Latooriya embark on a journey of a lifetime – their visit to the Inky Indigo seas is nothing short of spectacular. On their mission they encounter creatures they had only heard of – gigantic whales, benign sea turtles, vain starfish, haughty crocodiles and the rather whimsical sea Goddess Varuni. The children have to race against time and collect all that is needed to rescue the sea princess Matsya from the monster Kapatraja. Just as they are inching closer to their final destination the submaboat comes to a halt and they find themselves trapped in the ghost infested Strip of the Living Dead. Will the children succeed in rescuing Matsya? And will they prove to be any match for the avaricious sea-monster, Kapatraja?
Book Synopsis Brackish Water by : Jaap van der Zwan
Download or read book Brackish Water written by Jaap van der Zwan and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the quaint fishing capital of Scheveningen in The Hague, Jaap van der Zwan tells a moving and gripping story about the fishing empire, Hollandia, that his powerful Dutch ancestors built before the Great War even broke until the Second World War threatens his country. Brackish Waters leads its readers to the cold and hard life of the fishermen at sea and the fear and longing that accompany their wives and children as they brave the waters of the North Sea and beyond—bet it in wartime or peacetime. This first of the trilogy reveals the political influences the Van der Zwan family cultivates and exercises to ensure that the heart of the herring industry thrives and survives even during the Great Depression until Hitler’s reign in Germany. Too, it details the changes that the fishing industry has experienced throughout the early years of the twentieth century. And what’s more? The drama that surrounds the Van der Zwan family completes the soul of this novel that will define their life, dreams, and death. It paints in glowing terms the threat of the approaching danger of Nazi Germany. Bound by suspense, this is a true story, in which besides hate and love, passions and treason, sorrow and courage are interwoven. Brackish Water symbolizes the life of this Dutch family, where the sweetness of success merges with the bitterness of all tears shed in years gone by until it becomes Brackish Water.

Download or read book After History written by Piotr Stolarski and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if, living in the past and for the past was no longer tenable - no longer acceptable? What if, being stuck in the past became a force for alienation, breaking down and coming to seem like a false consciousness divorced from the present and from all true human happiness? What if history were dead? Would that matter...? After History: On the Death of History, and the New Culture by Dr. Piotr Stolarski, gets to grip with the pretensions and soul-destroying irrelevance of academic history - arguing that a new existential historiography abandoning a Man-centred Englightenment vision (and now allied to philosophy and theology) is possible and necessary. Analysing the significance, practices and characteristics of History in detail, the author argues for the abandonment of a History dead to and disdainful of the present, and sketches the possibilities left to historians after the "Death of History" - embodied in a Neo-Renaissance eclecticism allying faith to a reformed historiography.

Book Synopsis Mr Sampath-The Printer of Malgudi, The Financial Expert, Waiting for the Mahatma by : R. K. Narayan
Download or read book Mr Sampath-The Printer of Malgudi, The Financial Expert, Waiting for the Mahatma written by R. K. Narayan and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2009-07-22 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the novels of R. K. Narayan (1906-2001), the forefather of modern Indian fiction, human-scale hopes and epiphanies express the promise of a nation as it awakens to its place in the world. The three novels brought together in this volume, all written after India’s independence, are masterpieces of social comedy, rich in local color and abounding in affectionate humor and generosity of spirit. Mr. Sampath–The Printer of Malgudi is the story of a businessman who adapts to the collapse of his weekly newspaper by shifting to screenplays, only to have the glamour of it all go to his head. In The Financial Expert, a man of many hopes but few resources spends his time under a banyan tree dispensing financial advice to those willing to pay for his knowledge. In Waiting for the Mahatma, a young drifter meets the most beautiful girl he has ever seen–an adherent of Mahatma Gandhi–and commits himself to Gandhi’s Quit India campaign, a decision that will test the integrity of his ideals against the strength of his passions. As charming as they are compassionate, these novels provide an indelible portrait of India in the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Notes from the Underground by : Fyodor Dostoevsky
Download or read book Notes from the Underground written by Fyodor Dostoevsky and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notes from the Underground is recounted from the perspective of an unnamed narrator who describes himself as sick, spiteful, and unattractive. His thoughts and his moods veer unpredictably as he reflects on the folly of idealism and the reality of human squalor and degradation. The psychological power of the book is deeply rooted in the conflicts and contradictions that afflict the narrator—many of which seem to have afflicted Dostoevsky himself. Once attracted to idealistic and utopian notions, he subsequently found himself repelled by them. A passionate advocate of freedom, he had little confidence that humans could use freedom for good. The narrator of Notes from the Underground is not a unified self, but a self-contradictory character, like his author. His bewildering complexity and relentless self-analysis make him one of the most memorable and thought-provoking protagonists of modern literature. This new translation of Notes from the Underground renders Dostoevsky’s famous work in readable and idiomatic contemporary English. As well as the full text of the work itself and an informative introduction, this edition provides background materials that offer personal and intellectual context for the work. These materials (also newly translated) include writings from some of the thinkers against whom Dostoevsky positioned himself; excerpts from Dostoevsky’s personal letters and his earlier published works; and a substantial selection of relevant illustrations and photographs.
