This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This controversial, acclaimed book reads as if Edward Said, George Carlin, and Ta-Nehisi Coates had collaborated on a single book about universal racism from a cosmopolitan Indian's perspective Controversial, laugh-out-loud, and yet sincere and passionate, it has been described as "a mischievous pleasure" and "courageous ... going where no Indian writer has gone before" (Asian Age), this book has been acclaimed for its insights as well as its wit. Ferociously satirical and idealistic in turns, the book makes a case for diverse cultures and peoples retaining their authenticity rather than succumbing to a global, McDonaldsized culture. It is also a compassionate and engaging book that considers the dilemma faced by colored people who are often forced to strive to be judged and found worthy by the West, but also yearn to be authentic. What does this situation mean for authenticity, honesty, integrity, and a mutually respectful and honest communication between West and East? "The reader laughs, squirms, recognizes his/her own hypocrisy and the blatant absurdity of most unquestioned social conventions. In this, Crasta succeeds [in ways that] Chris Rock race routines succeed, i.e., brilliantly. Zany exuberance . . . mischievous pleasure."--Frank Feldman "Boldly goes where no Indian writer has gone before."--The Asian Age, Book Pick of the Fortnight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You just need to be white to win"--a line from a now-famous commercial on Thai television--now comes with a far more sophisticated program: a book that, at one-hundredth of the price of a year's supply of whitening cream, explains how to be White Inside, deep inside, and thus to win in many different fields such as literature, politics, and international business. From its irreverent comments on His Sacred Mooship, Salman Rushdie, to the phenomenon of the Occidental Cow with a billion bursting teats ("We Indians are practiced milkers"), this controversial book is as much entertainment as it is a satire-cum-analysis of East-West, white-brown-black relations. Compared by one reviewer to a "Chris Rock race routine... brilliant," the book is also a passionate attempt to understand and analyze the underlying forces between how nonwhites and whites behave towards each other. The book also satirically proposes the Fourteen Commandments of Nonwhite Male Success in the West. Phenomena such as Salman Rushdie and Arundhati Roy being the Spokespersons for 1.2 billion Indians are also analyzed. This 2016 edition is the first edition ever to be published in the West, or outside India and Singapore, and, except for one additional chapter describing the aftermath of the publication of the book and two additional commandments, it remains faithful to the classic 2000 original, which is unavailable in the West, or for that matter anywhere else (used copies sometimes sell for $100 and up). "The reader laughs, squirms, recognizes his/her own hypocrisy and the blatant absurdity of most unquestioned social conventions. Zany exuberance . . . mischievous pleasure."--Frank Feldman "Boldly goes where no Indian has gone before."--The Asian Age, Book Pick of the Fortnight.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Asian American Literature and Theater written by Wenying Xu and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian American literature is one of the most recent forms of ethnic literature and is already becoming one of the most prominent, given the large number of writers, the growing ethnic population from the region, the general receptivity of this body of work, and the quality of the authors. In recent decades, there has been an exponential growth in their output and much Asian American literature has now achieved new levels of popular success and critical acclaim. Nurtured by rich and long literary traditions from the vast continent of Asia, this literature is poised between the ancient and the modern, between the East and West, and between the oral and the written. The Historical Dictionary of Asian American Literature and Theater covers the activities in this burgeoning field. First, its history is traced year by year from 1887 to the present, in a chronology, and the introduction provides a good overview. The most important section is the dictionary, with over 600 substantial and cross-referenced entries on authors, books, and genres as well as more general ones describing the historical background, cultural features, techniques and major theatres and clubs. More reading can be found through an extensive bibliography with general works and those on specific authors. The book is thus a good place to get started, or to expanded one’s horizons, about a branch of American literature that can only grow in importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by one of America's most famous slavery abolitionist activists of the mid-nineteenth century, this astonishing book provides a fascinating insight into a period of history now largely suppressed from view by political correctness-the time when at least one million Europeans were seized and sold into slavery by the nonwhites of North Africa. The author provides a full background to the Islamic slave trade in white people and includes little-known details such as how the Muslim pirates even seized groups of Pilgrims on their way to North America. "Their corsairs became the scourge of Christendom, while their much-dreaded system of slavery assumed a front of new terrors. Their ravages were not confined to the Mediterranean. They penetrated the ocean, and pressed even to the Straits of Dover and St. George's Channel. From the chalky cliffs of England, and even from the distant western coasts of Ireland, unsuspecting inhabitants were swept into cruel captivity. . . The author also points out the evil of slavery worldwide, and of how Charles V of Spain simultaneously fought Barbary slavery while granting European traders the right to export slaves to the Spanish colonies in the New World: "It is said that Charles lived long enough to repent what he had thus inconsiderately done. Certain it is, no single concession, recorded in history, of king or emperor, has produced such disastrous far-reaching consequences." A remarkable work which contributes to a greater understanding of the mentality behind slavery-and the reality that Europeans were as much victims of this evil practice as any other people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel, an Indian sensation, describes a young man's growing up and coming to grips with sexuality with delicious and often-hilarious detail, but it is about much more: political, ironic, and "an indictment of colonialism" (The Hindu). This comic novel of childhood, coming of age, of modern Indian manhood, and an American Dream was described as "humorous and manic" by The Independent of London, and as personifying "the post-Independence Indian male." It has also been adapted for the stage and played to many standing room only audiences. "Hilarious."--Time Out. "Indefatigable good humor, charm"--Publishers Weekly. "A comic timing never seen in any Indian novel to date."--The Indian Express "Should be a recognized classic. An Indian Catcher in the Rye"--Mark Ledbetter, Author and Professor of Linguistics Keywords: Coming of Age, Indian novel, Contemporary India, Indian society, the Male Experience, Literary Fiction, Sexual Repression, Indian Christians, Indian Catholics, Konkani language, Indian Comic Novel, Politically Incorrect, Men and Women, American Dream, Immigrant American Writers, Asian writers, Asian-American fiction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Genesis of America investigates the ways in which US foreign policy contributed to the formation of an American national consciousness. Interpreting American nationalism as a process of external demarcation, Jasper M. Trautsch argues that, for a sense of national self to emerge, the US needed to be disentangled from its most important European reference points: Great Britain and France. As he shows, foreign-policy makers could therefore promote American nationalism by provoking foreign crises and wars with these countries, hereby creating external threats that would bind the fragile union together. By reconstructing how foreign policy was thus used as a nation-building instrument, Trautsch provides an answer to the puzzling question of how Americans - lacking a shared history and culture of their own and justifying their claim for independent nationhood by appeals to universal rights - could develop a sense of particularity after the conclusion of the Revolutionary War.
