Book Synopsis The Starved by : Mangalu Charan Biswal
Download or read book The Starved written by Mangalu Charan Biswal and published by Hachette India. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A layered portraiture of Dalit oppression and ruthless hierarchies in 1980s Odisha Set against the bucolic landscape of undivided Sambalpur, the play follows five Bajnias - professional rural folk performers - whose lives are pushed into a corner by poverty, social discrimination, addiction and illiteracy. Believed to be conduits connecting ordinary people to the divine, the musicians echo the voices of the gods through the rhythmic play of their instruments. But the decline in folk music and drying farmlands soon become a persistent reality, and the circumstances of those on the fringes devolve from diffi cult to dire. Mangalu Charan Biswal's play highlights both the insidious and immediate violence of generational enslavement and casteism, and the wilting landscape of folk art and music. A tale of crippling deprivation and staggering optimism, this revolutionary work of Sambalpuri literature inspects the longevity of hope in the face of adversity and casts a steely gaze on the institutional betrayal of the underprivileged in the country.

Book Synopsis The Starved Senses by : Charisse Goodman
Download or read book The Starved Senses written by Charisse Goodman and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Starved Senses is a powerful and disturbing story from a witness to the worst mass shooting in San Francisco's history: the 101 California Street Massacre. It follows three outsiders across two weeks in the summer of 1993: John, a struggling businessman with a long-simmering grudge; Rachel, a San Francisco legal assistant wandering in solitude; and Emmett, a bullied Bay Area teenager. Although they never meet, they are forever connected by a horrific act of violence, each one driven by an inner starvation and ultimately forced to choose between life and death. Are they failures? Are they insane? Or are they the products of a desperate, soul-consuming culture where meaningful human contact can seem like an impossible dream? In its exploration of the forces that disconnect people from one another, from themselves, and from life itself, The Starved Senses is an indictment of humanity's fatal flaw - the predatory desire for cruelty without consequences. Charisse Goodman is a graduate of California State University. A long-time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, she is also the author of the 1995 nonfiction book, The Invisible Woman: Confronting Weight Prejudice In America.

Download or read book Stuffed and Starved written by Raj Patel and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely updated and revised edition of one of the most widely-praised food books of recent years. It’s a perverse fact of modern life: There are more starving people in the world than ever before, while there are also more people who are overweight. To find out how we got to this point and what we can do about it, Raj Patel launched a comprehensive investigation into the global food network. It took him from the colossal supermarkets of California to India’s wrecked paddy-fields and Africa’s bankrupt coffee farms, while along the way he ate genetically engineered soy beans and dodged flying objects in the protestor-packed streets of South Korea. What he found was shocking, from the false choices given us by supermarkets to a global epidemic of farmer suicides, and real reasons for famine in Asia and Africa. Yet he also found great cause for hope—in international resistance movements working to create a more democratic, sustainable and joyful food system. Going beyond ethical consumerism, Patel explains, from seed to store to plate, the steps to regain control of the global food economy, stop the exploitation of both farmers and consumers, and rebalance global sustenance.

Book Synopsis The Starved Lover Sings by : Colin O'Sullivan
Download or read book The Starved Lover Sings written by Colin O'Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much can one land take? How much can one man take? What if the rains kept coming? What if the huge waves kept crashing in? What if the plates kept shifting and volcanoes kept up their choking spew? What if neighbouring nations became more antagonistic and the rest of the world began to forget you? It's the not-too-distant-future and a certain Asian country is in physical and moral tatters. What was once a polite society has become fouled and corrupted. Part-time referee and full-time PE teacher, Tombo, stands in the middle of all this, trying to find fairness and balance in his own life, as things continue to crumble around him. Added to his personal miseries - missing-presumed-dead daughter, eerily silent wife, unrequited lusts - comes the unwanted, unwarranted attention of two, mean-spirited, wrathful adolescent girls, who have decided that he is to be their "chosen one." Can this harangued Everyman battle against the forces that envelop him, or will he too fall to the whims of the new dystopia? In this pulsing, provocative, visionary work, O'Sullivan couples his usual lyrical fervour with a philosophical acuity to present before us a trembling world that may not be too far away... As well as being an absurd existential novel it is also a political satire, and a cautionary tale about what may lay ahead, therefore a novel very much for our times. "Colin O'Sullivan's writing is an antic, mordant and perverse plunge into strange and unnerving worlds." Colin Barrett
Download or read book Starved written by Anne McTiernan and published by Central Recovery Press, LLC. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Failure to thrive" is not a phrase in this doctor's vocabulary. At the age of four, Anne McTiernan is left by her mother at a boarding school. Overcome by sadness from the neglect she experiences there, Anne emotionally and physically starves. A doctor, appalled by her excessive weight loss, forces Anne’s mother to bring her home, but she is still not safe. Set in working-class, Irish-American Boston of the 1950s–1960s, Anne transitions from a malnourished state to obesity to obsessive dieting. Without love and support from her family, Anne decides she must take full responsibility for her own life during her last eighteen months as a minor. Today as a doctor and researcher, Anne has helped thousands of women improve their relationship with food—but this is not their story. Starved is the gripping tale of how Anne used hard work, undaunted intelligence, and persistence to turn the adversity she encountered as a child into a strength and set of skills that would later help her meet the demands of her career. ANNE McTIERNAN, MD, PhD, conducts research on the effects of diet, exercise, and weight loss on cancer and health. Currently, she is a professor at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington Schools of Public Health and Medicine in Seattle, Washington.

Download or read book Starve and Immolate written by Banu Bargu and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starve and Immolate tells the story of leftist political prisoners in Turkey who waged a deadly struggle against the introduction of high security prisons by forging their lives into weapons. Weaving together contemporary and critical political theory with political ethnography, Banu Bargu analyzes the death fast struggle as an exemplary though not exceptional instance of self-destructive practices that are a consequence of, retort to, and refusal of the increasingly biopolitical forms of sovereign power deployed around the globe. Bargu chronicles the experiences, rituals, values, beliefs, ideological self-representations, and contentions of the protestors who fought cellular confinement against the background of the history of Turkish democracy and the treatment of dissent in a country where prisons have become sites of political confrontation. A critical response to Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish, Starve and Immolate centers on new forms of struggle that arise from the asymmetric antagonism between the state and its contestants in the contemporary prison. Bargu ultimately positions the weaponization of life as a bleak, violent, and ambivalent form of insurgent politics that seeks to wrench the power of life and death away from the modern state on corporeal grounds and in increasingly theologized forms. Drawing attention to the existential commitment, sacrificial morality, and militant martyrdom that transforms these struggles into a complex amalgam of resistance, Bargu explores the global ramifications of human weapons' practices of resistance, their possibilities and limitations.
