Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Shadow of Turning is the story of Marshall Anderson, a black American whose life was turned upside down at the age of five, when his parents were killed by a drunk driver. He was then raised by his Christian grandparents in Southern California during the 1960s and ‘70s. Marshall struggles to make sense of his situation until he realizes that his life has a God-determined purpose, and he embarks on the road to let this become a reality. Marshall leads us on a rich, multicultural adventure that begins in California’s quiet orange groves of Riverside, goes through the sometimes challenging streets of Los Angeles, the very risky interior of Sudan and Uganda, to the busy city streets of Nairobi and the rural area of Meru and Mombasa in Kenya. His path is by no means smooth as he maneuvers through racism, hidden agendas, unsettling self-discovery, life-threatening travel adventures, culture shock, the death of a loved one, and the challenges of friendship, family, and love. All along, he learns to views his life path through the lens of God’s faithfulness.

Book Synopsis The New American Servitude by : Cati Coe
Download or read book The New American Servitude written by Cati Coe and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist, 2020 Elliott P. Skinner Award, given by the Association of Africanist Anthropology Examines why African care workers feel politically excluded from the United States Care for America’s growing elderly population is increasingly provided by migrants, and the demand for health care labor is only expected to grow. Because of this health care crunch and the low barriers to entry, new African immigrants have adopted elder care as a niche employment sector, funneling their friends and relatives into this occupation. However, elder care puts care workers into racialized, gendered, and age hierarchies, making it difficult for them to achieve social and economic mobility. In The New American Servitude, Coe demonstrates how these workers often struggle to find a sense of political and social belonging. They are regularly subjected to racial insults and demonstrations of power—and effectively turned into servants—at the hands of other members of the care worker network, including clients and their relatives, agency staff, and even other care workers. Low pay, a lack of benefits, and a lack of stable employment, combined with a lack of appreciation for their efforts, often alienate them, so that many come to believe that they cannot lead valuable lives in the United States. While jobs are a means of acculturating new immigrants, African care workers don’t tend to become involved or politically active. Many plan to leave rather than putting down roots in the US. Offering revealing insights into the dark side of a burgeoning economy, The New American Servitude carries serious implications for the future of labor and justice in the care work industry.

Book Synopsis The Honorable Correspondent by : Henry Scholder
Download or read book The Honorable Correspondent written by Henry Scholder and published by Permanent Press (NY). This book was released on 2003 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The freighter Twanee unloaded her cargo at a secret harbor on the Iranian side of the Persian gulf and then hurriedly steamed away. the Twanee's luck until then had been very good; on several occasions it's Greek captain had seen Iraqi aircraft and was certain they had spotted him, yet he'd been spared. But that night, aftrer recentering international waters, a missile attack sank the Twanee with all hands aboard. The disappearance of the Twanee complicated things for Sarah Tillinghast, an English investigative reporter, as the ship had been a clue within a fragmented tale of unusual goings-on in the Gulf War. Sarah's assignment began with a tip from a quirky whistleblower employed by France's hyper-secretive counter intelligence service, SEDCE. The war between Iraq and Iran lasted eight years, killing one and a half million people. Neither side could point to any tangible gains when it ended. To the arms merchants, including governments who kept the warring parties supplied, it had been a period of great prosperity. In that war, Saddam Hussein was friend to the Western Allies and many others as well, while Iran and its hostage taking leadership were anathema to nearly all. The exception was Count Bertrand "Bobo" de Bossier, head of SEDCE, a brilliant out-of-the-box thinker. Bobo constructed and implemented policies at odds with those of the others, whom he chose to keep uninformed of his views and doings. And since there was virtually no separation between Bobo's persoanl and professional life, he also excluded his best friend and partner, his subordinate and lower, and his elected superiors. Sarah, whose pursuit of this story leads her to Bobo and his friends, is left to try and pieceit all together. But what she discovers poses great risk both for her and the man she fell in love with along the way.
