Book Synopsis We Are All Suspects Now by : Tram Nguyen
Download or read book We Are All Suspects Now written by Tram Nguyen and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2005-09-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an ironic reversal of the American dream, a staggering 20,000 members of the immigrant community of Midwood, Brooklyn (known as Little Pakistan), voluntarily left the United States after 9/11. Tram Nguyen reveals the human cost of the domestic war on terror and examines the impact of post-9/11 policies on people targeted because of immigration status, nationality, and religion. Nguyen’s evocative narrative reporting--about the families, detainees, local leaders, community advocates, and others living on the front lines--tells the stories of people who witnessed and experienced firsthand the unjust detainment or deportation of family members, friends, and neighbors. We meet Mohammad Butt, who died in detention in New Jersey, and the Saleems, who flee Queens for Canada. We even follow a self-proclaimed ’citizen patroller’ who monitors and detains immigrants on the U.S.-Mexico border. We Are All Suspects Now, in the words of Mike Davis, “takes us inside a dark world . . . where the American Dream is fast turning into a nightmare and suggests proactive responses to stop our growing climate of xenophobia, intimidation, and discrimination."
Book Synopsis Night Song of the Last Tram - A Glasgow Childhood by : Robert Douglas
Download or read book Night Song of the Last Tram - A Glasgow Childhood written by Robert Douglas and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2007-10-13 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a wonderfully colourful and deeply poignant memoir of growing up in a 'single end' - one room in a Glasgow tenement - during and immediately after the Second World War. Although young Robert Douglas's life was blighted by the cruel if sporadic presence of his father, it was equally blessed by the love of his mother, Janet. While the story of their life together is in some ways very sad, it is also filled with humorous and happy memories. "Night Song of The Last Tram" is a superb evocation of childhood and of a Glasgow of trams and tenements that has long since disappeared.
Download or read book Pen & Palate written by Lucy Madison and published by Grand Central Life & Style. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the writers of acclaimed blog Pen & Palate, a humorous coming-of-age (and mastering-the-art-of-home-cooking) memoir of friendship, told through stories, recipes, and beautiful illustrations. Getting through life in your twenties isn't easy--especially if you're broke, awkward, and prone to starting small grease fires in your studio apartment. For best friends Lucy Madison and Tram Nguyen, cooking was an escape from the daily humiliation that is being a twenty-something woman in a big city. Pen & Palate traces the course of Lucy and Tram's devoted friendship through miserable jobs and tiny apartments, first loves and ill-advised flings, successes and setbacks--always with a shared love of food at the center of the narrative. A modern take on Laurie Colwin's classic Home Cooking, this coming-of-age memoir for the Girls set weaves together comical (mis)adventures and recipes meant to be shared with a best friend and a bottle of wine.

Book Synopsis La Novela En El Tranvia by : Benito Perez Galdos
Download or read book La Novela En El Tranvia written by Benito Perez Galdos and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es una obra cuyo argumento se crea mediante los desvaríos rutinarios y las travesuras mentales por parte del narrador. A lo largo de la obra nos cuenta una larga y tortuosa serie de sucesos que pasaron al narrador mientras hacía un recado un día normal en Madrid. Estos sucesos, consiguen formar una historia inteligible y acogedora para el narrador que los cuenta. Pero más importante que esto es el hecho de que dentro de la obra, no existe un argumento en si, es decir en la realidad del narrador, sino la apariencia de uno en los extremos de su curiosidad y confusión. La novela del tranvía destaca por su originalidad en el desarrollo de la trama, que capta al lector hasta el final. La historia comenzó por un relato de verdad que le contó al narrador un conocido suyo, Dionisio Cascajares de la Vallina, quien era un hombre entremetido y amigo de todo el mundo. Aunque no le interesaba mucho la historia, que trataba de una condesa y su mayordomo, escuchó hasta que Cascajares tuvo que bajarse del coche. Después que pasó un tiempo el narrador notó en un trozo de periódico que servía como envoltorio para los libros que llevaba los nombres de unos tanto personajes, estando entre éstos una condesa y otros más que, por increíble suerte, parecían ser los mismos del relato recién contado de Cascajares. Aunque no le interesó la primera vez, la segunda le provocó bastante interés y leyó hasta donde se había desgarrado la página, fijándose en todos los detalles, el más notable de estos siendo el copiar la letra de la Condesa en una carta cuyo destino todavía no se reveló por el estado del periódico usado

Book excerpt: "In these stories Gürsel crisscrosses modern Europe, settling in some cities -- like Paris -- for many years, visiting others several times, decades apart. But none of them quite constitutes home. Nor is return to his native Turkey -- from which Gü̈rsel was himself exiled for his political writings in the 70s -- ever really possible, though through his stories, dreams, and memories, he makes many attempts. Art, history, architecture, contemporary politics ... all these feed into the palette with which Gürsel paints the migrant experience"--Page 4 of cover.
