Download or read book Ole Manuõ O Tala Tu’U Ma Fisaga O Tala Ave written by Amerika Samoa Humanities Council and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home is where our stories begin and where our future is shaped. It is a place where family history and identity are nurtured and grown to advance in life. Before European explorers and the missionaries arrived on our shores, our people connected through generations by oral history in the forms of stories and narratives. The human ties to our home, land, and identity were kept strong by tales and songs that were passed on by our forefathers through word of mouth. Wisdom and information were transmitted through living the culture and speaking the language of the land. An astute student of culture and language developed a close-knit fellowship with the elders and village council, and later in life, he became a strong and wise leader in the village. In Samoa, our cultural values influence the pattern of which we relate to people and to our surroundings; thus, the Samoan culture exists today as a living culture. The future of any young Samoan man and woman is cultivated and encouraged from within his or her home. The title for this project pays tribute to the wisdom and the untiring labor of our forefathers, who have been stewards of an oral tradition since the prehistoric era of the Samoan islands. Echoed in these words: Ole Manu o Tala Tuu Ma Fisaga o Tala Ave, metaphorically transcends our appreciation for the heralding of our oral history and relishing of our story narratives. The stories shared here embraced the significance of knowing who we are and where we came from. This work is the councils way to document the stories of yesterdays and todays generations to encourage success in the lives of tomorrows generation.

Book Synopsis Samoan Reference Grammar by : Ulrike Mosel
Download or read book Samoan Reference Grammar written by Ulrike Mosel and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samoan Reference Grammar is the first extensive grammar of Samoan, by number of speakers the largest Polynesian language. The grammar is divided into eighteen chapters which cover phonetics, phonology, and orthography, word classification and morphology, the syntax of various types of phrases, simple clause structure, nominalization, dependent clauses, coordination, and finally, case marking and grammatical relations. The descriptive framework is not tied to a particular linguistic theory, but is based on the empirical findings of linguistic typology during the last two decades. The grammar is descriptive in the sense that it takes the Samoan ways of expression as the starting point of analysis and describes the meanings which are encoded by the various types of construction.

Book Synopsis The Stoning of Soraya M. by : Freidoune Sahebjam
Download or read book The Stoning of Soraya M. written by Freidoune Sahebjam and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-04-27 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soraya M.’s husband, Ghorban-Ali, couldn’t afford to marry another woman. Rather than returning Soraya’s dowry, as custom required before taking a second wife, he plotted with four friends and a counterfeit mullah to dispose of her. Together, they accused Soraya of adultery. Her only crime was cooking for a friend’s widowed husband. Exhausted by a lifetime of abuse and hardship, Soraya said nothing, and the makeshift tribunal took her silence as a confession of guilt. They sentenced her to death by stoning: a punishment prohibited by Islam but widely practiced. Day by day—sometimes minute by minute—Sahebjam deftly recounts these horrendous events, tracing Soraya’s life with searing immediacy, from her arranged marriage and the births of her children to her husband’s increasing cruelty and her horrifying execution, where, by tradition, her father, husband, and sons hurled the first stones. A stark look at the intersection between culture and justice, this is one woman’s story, but it stands for the stories of thousands of women who suffered—and continue to suffer—the same fate. It is a story that must be told.
