Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the American golfer Tiger Woods proclaimed himself a "Caublinasian", affirming his mixed Caucasian, Black, Native American and Asian ancestry, a storm of controversy was created. This book is about people faced by the strain of belonging and not belonging within the narrow confines of the terms 'Black' or 'White'. This is a unique and radical study. It interweaves the stories of six women of mixed African/African Caribbean and white European heritage with an analysis of the concepts of hybridity and mixed race identity.

The book takes a rigorous critique of "race" and "mixed race" as its starting point. The following section includes the moving narratives of six women of both continental African/African Caribbean and European parentage. Collectively, their testimonies illustrate the ways in which identities are shaped not only by "race," but also by ethnicity, gender, class, and locality. Finally, Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe demonstrates how the lived experiences of "mixed race" individuals can help us to understand the dynamic construction of identities in a globalizing world.

Book Synopsis The Call Of The Wild By Jack London by : Jack London
Download or read book The Call Of The Wild By Jack London written by Jack London and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London, published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California, when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively more primitive and wild in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild. London spent almost a year in the Yukon, and his observations form much of the material for the book. The story was serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1903 and was published later that year in book form. The book's great popularity and success made a reputation for London. As early as 1923, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations.
