Book Synopsis Same Family, Different Colors by : Lori L. Tharps
Download or read book Same Family, Different Colors written by Lori L. Tharps and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together personal stories, history, and analysis, Same Family, Different Colors explores the myriad ways skin-color politics affect family dynamics in the United States. Colorism and color bias—the preference for or presumed superiority of people based on the color of their skin—is a pervasive and damaging but rarely openly discussed phenomenon. In this unprecedented book, Lori L. Tharps explores the issue in African American, Latino, Asian American, and mixed-race families and communities by weaving together personal stories, history, and analysis. The result is a compelling portrait of the myriad ways skin-color politics affect family dynamics in the United States. Tharps, the mother of three mixed-race children with three distinct skin colors, uses her own family as a starting point to investigate how skin-color difference is dealt with. Her journey takes her across the country and into the lives of dozens of diverse individuals, all of whom have grappled with skin-color politics and speak candidly about experiences that sometimes scarred them. From a Latina woman who was told she couldn’t be in her best friend’s wedding photos because her dark skin would “spoil” the pictures, to a light-skinned African American man who spent his entire childhood “trying to be Black,” Tharps illuminates the complex and multifaceted ways that colorism affects our self-esteem and shapes our lives and relationships. Along with intimate and revealing stories, Tharps adds a historical overview and a contemporary cultural critique to contextualize how various communities and individuals navigate skin-color politics. Groundbreaking and urgent, Same Family, Different Colors is a solution-seeking journey to the heart of identity politics, so that this more subtle “cousin to racism,” in the author’s words, will be exposed and confronted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He's a symbol of hope and hapiness, of generosity and benevolence. Santa Clause is simply one of the most beloved legends ever embraced. The Story of Santa explores the history of Father Christmas. Who is he, really? Where did he come from? (His origins may surprise you!) Why does he fulfill our wishes? And what can we learn from him? He's become a ubiquitous figure during the Christmas season with his white beard, red suit, and prominent belly, but just how much do those celebrating the happy holiday really know about Santa Claus? Here is the whole story from the beginning—including the pre-Santas like Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, and of course, St. Nicholas. This beautifully illustrated book celebrates all things Santa ranging from the much-loved poem "The Night Before Christmas" to the songs, movies, images, and stories that are loved by both young and old. Along the way, it explores the favorite stories that have sprung up around him, including Santa’s elves, his workshop, Santa’s beloved reindeer and the legend of Mrs. Claus and the North Pole abode where she and her husband make their home. You'll even learn the secret to how Santa has time to visit every house around the world in just one night (a mathematician explains how it’s physically possible).

Book Synopsis Christmas Traditions by : Tim Gilroy
Download or read book Christmas Traditions written by Tim Gilroy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-19 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christmas Tree... Hanging Stockings... Christmas Cards...Caroling... Santa Claus... Gift Giving... The Yule Log... Wise Men (Magi)... A Moving Star?... Poinsettias... Reindeer. After several years of writing Christmas letters about why we celebrate Christmas the way we do and sending them to his family living in other states, Tim decided to put that information into a single book to share with others. Some of the most revealing information shared concerned the number of Wise Men from the East as well as how a star that is actually a ball of fire like our sun could move over the earth to guide those Wise Men. Most of our American traditions have only existed within the last few centuries. Plus they've not always been something done during the Noel season. The real reasons behind our Christmas holiday have been lost over the years within the myths and fantasy stories of our modern world. For example, the Santa Claus of today is based on a very real person who lived during the 3rd century. There are many reasons behind what we do during Christmas and some of them may totally surprise you! You will discover why certain Christmas traditions are performed every year and what part of the world they came from. Many of these traditions we observe today did not originate in America. In fact, most of our more common traditions at Christmastime began in Germany long ago. Another fact is that Christmas almost didn't exist in America! What !! Yep, it's true. Some of the earliest "Powers That Be" did not believe in the holiday because of some of the non-Christian origins. You will soon know exactly where it all began and why we celebrate the Christmas holiday the way we do today as a result of our past. This is a warmly written summery of some of the reasons behind a few of the Christmas traditions observed during this special time of year. Included are several unique family Christmas recipes to enjoy as well as many tradition ideas you may not have thought of. So grab a cup of your favorite holiday beverage and prepare yourself to have a more meaningful Christmas this season!
Download or read book Kinky Gazpacho written by Lori L. Tharps and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-03-04 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magazine writer and editor Lori Tharps was born and raised in the comfortable but mostly White suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she was often the only person of color in her school and neighborhood. At an early age, Lori decided that her destiny would be discovered in Spain. She didn't know anyone from Spain, had never visited the country, and hardly spoke the language. Still, she never faltered in her plans to escape to the Iberian Peninsula. Arriving in the country as an optimistic college student, however, Lori soon discovers Spain's particular attitude toward Blackness. She is chased down the street by the local schoolchildren and pointed at incessantly in public, and her innocent dreams of a place where race doesn't matter are shattered. The story would end there, except Lori meets and marries a Spaniard, and that's when her true Spanish adventure really begins. Against the ancient backdrops of Cádiz and Andalucía, Lori starts the intricate yet amusing journey of rekindling her love affair with Spain and becoming a part of her new Spanish family. From a grandmother who spies on her to a grandfather who warmly welcomes her to town with a slew of racist jokes, the close-knit clan isn't exactly waiting with open arms. Kinky Gazpacho tells the story of the redeeming power of love and finding self in the most unexpected places. At its heart, this is a love story. It is a memoir, a travel essay, and a glimpse into the past and present of Spain. As humorous and entertaining as such favorite travel stories as Under the Tuscan Sun, this book also unveils a unique and untold history of Spain's enduring connection to West Africa. Kinky Gazpacho celebrates the mysticism of travel and the joys of watching two distinct cultures connect and come together.
