Download or read book Hey, Liberal! written by Shawn Shiflett and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this honest novel set in the racial tinderbox of Chicago in 1969, thirteen-year-old Simon Fleming, the white son of a civil rights activist minister, is sent to a predominately African American high school, feeling charged by his parents to carry out the family's commitment to the community and school integration. Here, he is dropped into a world where gang warfare, drug abuse, and violence are rampant. Simon's quest for survival takes him through a failed student boycott organized by community leaders, as well as through numerous race riots, and brings him into contact with gangbangers, political activists, racist cops, and unlikely new friends. Hey, Liberal! exposes an out-of-touch education system and the universality of racial violence amid a nation moving, inch by hard-fought inch, toward a more culturally diverse and inclusive future.

Book Synopsis Kattavarayan Katai by : Eveline Masilamani-Meyer
Download or read book Kattavarayan Katai written by Eveline Masilamani-Meyer and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kattavarayan katai", is the story of Kattavarayan, a folkdeity of Tamilnadu, South India. The story relates how Kattavarayan, though born to low-caste parents, attempts to marry the high-caste Brahman girl Ariyamalai. Like many other folk gods of India, Kattavarayan too is connected to the greater Hindu tradition by being made a son of Siva. Neither Siva's, nor his mother Kamaksi's protests prevent Kattavarayan from pursuing the forbidden alliance. During his adventurous journeys and while dealing with the other women proposed by his mother as brides, Kattavarayan takes various disguises and uses these to make fun of Bahmans, kings and pan-Hindu gods like Visnu.The present translation of the "Kattavarayan katai" is meant to show the kind of language typical of this genre of folk stories, and it hopes to generate an interest in folk religion and in other texts of this genre. The book contains the English translation and the Tamil text."Kattavarayan katai", die Geschichte Kattavarayans, handelt von den Abenteuern eines tamilischsudindischen Volksgottes, der trotz seiner niedrigen Herkunft das Brahmanen-Madchen Ariyamalai heiraten will. Wie andere indische Volksgotter ist Kattavarayan auch ein Sohn Sivas, lasst sich aber weder durch diesen, noch durch seine gottliche Mutter Kamaksi davon abhalten, seinen Willen durchzusetzen, und stellt dabei die Regeln der Gesellschaft auf den Kopf.
