Download or read book Hidden Valley written by Kenneth G. Neal and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2012-11-21 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Polynesians knew how to build canoe boats that were sea worthy. To escape over crowding in places they lived, several, including families, would use a canoe boat to search for new places to live. They were excellent navigators, and skilled in making long voyages. On one such island, a group of Polynesians found the tyranny of their chief to be unbearable. Several times he had taken a son or daughter from a family to be sacrificed to the god of the fire mountain. In addition, he had established a large number of taboos that were repugnant to the people. This Chief of this island built a large canoe boat designed for warfare. When the wind blew against its two sails, it was very fast. At great risks to themselves, the group took the boat while everyone else was asleep. The speed of the boat prevented pursuers from catching them. The group had no preplanned destination, but after many cycles of the moon they discovered The Island of Palms and made it their new home. They inhabited the leeward side of the island, which had two beaches separated from each other by arms of lava that extended into the sea. There was a harbor between the two beaches. A very steep and heavily forested mountain stretched the entire length of the island. Because of its rugged terrain, no one on the island had found a way to climb it and get to the other side. Men had sailed to the other side of the island hoping to explore it, but were prevented from doing it by a coral reef.

Book Synopsis The Spectral Wound by : Nayanika Mookherjee
Download or read book The Spectral Wound written by Nayanika Mookherjee and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the 1971 Bangladesh War, the Bangladesh government publicly designated the thousands of women raped by the Pakistani military and their local collaborators as birangonas, ("brave women”). Nayanika Mookherjee demonstrates that while this celebration of birangonas as heroes keeps them in the public memory, they exist in the public consciousness as what Mookherjee calls a spectral wound. Dominant representations of birangonas as dehumanized victims with disheveled hair, a vacant look, and rejected by their communities create this wound, the effects of which flatten the diversity of their experiences through which birangonas have lived with the violence of wartime rape. In critically examining the pervasiveness of the birangona construction, Mookherjee opens the possibility for a more politico-economic, ethical, and nuanced inquiry into the sexuality of war.
