Book excerpt: A Finalist for the 2019 Kirkus Prize in Nonfiction "Nayeri combines her own experience with those of refugees she meets as an adult, telling their stories with tenderness and reverence.” —The New York Times Book Review "Nayeri weaves her empowering personal story with those of the ‘feared swarms’ . . . Her family’s escape from Isfahan to Oklahoma, which involved waiting in Dubai and Italy, is wildly fascinating . . . Using energetic prose, Nayeri is an excellent conduit for these heart–rending stories, eschewing judgment and employing care in threading the stories in with her own . . . This is a memoir laced with stimulus and plenty of heart at a time when the latter has grown elusive.” —Star–Tribune (Minneapolis) Aged eight, Dina Nayeri fled Iran along with her mother and brother and lived in the crumbling shell of an Italian hotel–turned–refugee camp. Eventually she was granted asylum in America. She settled in Oklahoma, then made her way to Princeton University. In this book, Nayeri weaves together her own vivid story with the stories of other refugees and asylum seekers in recent years, bringing us inside their daily lives and taking us through the different stages of their journeys, from escape to asylum to resettlement. In these pages, a couple fall in love over the phone, and women gather to prepare the noodles that remind them of home. A closeted queer man tries to make his case truthfully as he seeks asylum, and a translator attempts to help new arrivals present their stories to officials. Nayeri confronts notions like “the swarm,” and, on the other hand, “good” immigrants. She calls attention to the harmful way in which Western governments privilege certain dangers over others. With surprising and provocative questions, The Ungrateful Refugee challenges us to rethink how we talk about the refugee crisis. “A writer who confronts issues that are key to the refugee experience.” —Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sympathizer and The Refugees

Download or read book Ungrateful Mammals written by Dave Eggers and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eggers is one of the most notable writers of his generation, recognized for such bestselling and critically acclaimed books as A Hologram for the King, What Is the What, and The Circle. Before he embarked on his writing career, Eggers was classically trained as a draftsman and painter. He then spent many years as a professional illustrator and graphic designer before turning to writing full-time. More recently, in order to raise money for ScholarMatch, his college-access nonprofit, he returned to visual art, and the results have been exhibited in galleries and museums around the country. Usually involving the pairing of an animal with humorous or biblical text, the results are wry, oddly anthropomorphic tableaus that create a very entertaining and eccentric body of work from one of today’s leading culture makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1688, the birth of a Prince of Wales ignited a family quarrel and a revolution. James II's drive towards Catholicism had alienated the nation and his two staunchly Protestant daughters by his first marriage, Mary and Anne. They are the 'ungrateful daughters' who usurped their father's crown and stole their brother's birthright. Seven prominent men sent an invitation to William of Orange---James' nephew and son-in-law---to intervene in English affairs. But it was the women, Queen Mary Beatrice and her two stepdaughters, Mary and Anne, who played a key role in this drama. Jealous and resentful of her hated stepmother, Anne had written a series of malicious letters to her sister Mary in Holland, implying that the Queen's pregnancy was a hoax, a Catholic plot to deny Mary her rightful inheritance. Betrayed by those he trusted, distraught at Anne's defection, James fled the kingdom. Even as the crown descended on her head, Mary knew she had incurred a father's curse. The sisters quarreled and were still not speaking to each other when Mary died tragically young. Anne did nothing to deserve her father's forgiveness, declaring her brother an outlaw with a price on his head. Acclaimed historian Maureen Waller recreated the late Stuart era in a compelling narrative that highlights the influence of three women in one of the most momentous events in English history. Prompted by religious bigotry and the emotion that beset any family relationships, this palace coup changed the face of the monarchy, and signaled the end of a dynasty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The person achieves his objective without fretting about anyone if he possesses the yearning and resolves to accomplish something for the society, but then there is that segment in our society that always maintains a negative approach towards everything. They especially strive to distract those who strive for society's betterment and create multiple obstacles in their path. A similar incident transpired with Ambuj to deviate him from his goal. At the same time, vicious circles were structured by the adversaries and by the personnel associated with his organisation.While moving through the path of truthfulness and noble feats, a person often passes through the long haul of sinister, shadowy conduits, where he might ramble in the confusion of his choice. Still, when he approaches the end of the dark tunnel, he encounters the golden rays of pleasant morning rays spreading its light.The novel The Ungrateful is another milestone in the powerful writing of famous litterateur Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank', which exposes both the morally upright, virtuous and ruthless and unscrupulous facets of society. It furnishes the hallmark of bonded, shattered, and reconnected associations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a 98 percent true story as only the names have been changed to keep people involved safe from discrimination, for it is the story that counts, as I do believe names are not important with my journey through life, having the experience and the courage to share and educate, with a different perspective, from anothers point of view. Many events have been left out as every day was a struggle with abuse. Families are what generally make a person who they are as that's where we all come from. Sometimes for a short period of time, or the full length, either way we all have our own story within, for one day to speak for. My books nature consists of family and child abuse, with a journey living through the toughest of times, dealing with the deadliest of setbacks, continuing its toll toward the future, with the scars left behind, contributing further disorientation to a well-intended nature, being the number one destroyer to foundations. The cries could not be heard by one innocent child, who only ever wanted to live happy and be loved the way he did his family, though it wasn't a happy love, but he kept a smile on his face, always finding happiness through all the sadness placed upon him in order to make it through the day. I live my life simple and wish the best for everyone as life is worth living if youre afraid to leave, so I make the most of it. I never will give up again as I almost had, and living life has so much to offer, knowing I have so much to give. Love will set us free through understanding and following happiness, learning late to evade the past and the setbacks, as now I have a family of my own. God bless my wife and child, who are the reason I shine with passion and successful mission as being here is being a winner, though we are not finished yet as Im on a mission to live the longest of time possible. For now, love to live, learn, and continue my journey toward the unseen future of potential. I believe we need to keep strong, look ahead, not back.

Book excerpt: From the author of Refuge, a magical novel about a young Iranian woman lifted from grief by her powerful imagination and love of Western culture. Growing up in a small rice-farming village in 1980s Iran, eleven-year-old Saba Hafezi and her twin sister, Mahtab, are captivated by America. They keep lists of English words and collect illegal Life magazines, television shows, and rock music. So when her mother and sister disappear, leaving Saba and her father alone in Iran, Saba is certain that they have moved to America without her. But her parents have taught her that “all fate is written in the blood,” and that twins will live the same life, even if separated by land and sea. As she grows up in the warmth and community of her local village, falls in and out of love, and struggles with the limited possibilities in post-revolutionary Iran, Saba envisions that there is another way for her story to unfold. Somewhere, it must be that her sister is living the Western version of this life. And where Saba’s world has all the grit and brutality of real life under the new Islamic regime, her sister’s experience gives her a freedom and control that Saba can only dream of. Filled with a colorful cast of characters and presented in a bewitching voice that mingles the rhythms of Eastern storytelling with modern Western prose, A Teaspoon of Earth and Sea is a tale about memory and the importance of controlling one’s own fate.

Download or read book Ungrateful Daughters written by Justyna Wlodarczyk and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08-11 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has the third wave of feminism in the United States spawned a literary movement? Is there a third wave equivalent of the consciousness-rasing novel? A lot has been written about the relationship of the third wave of feminism in the United States to the second wave, yet no one has examined works by young female writers as belonging to the third wave of feminism. This book fills the gap. Using tools of literary criticism to analyze the literary output of third wave feminism in the United States, Ungrateful Daughters looks at the main anthologies of third wave writings, paying attention to their structure, production process and narrative forms used in the individual pieces. It also attempts to define third wave fiction and analyze the memoirs and novels coming from writers who could be classified as third wave (specifically, Rebecca Walker, Danzy Senna and Michelle Tea), tracing how these books exhibit “third wave sensibility” and reflect generational experiences of third wave writers. A lot of attention is devoted to comparisons of second and third wave feminism and the ambivalent relationship of third wave feminism to postfeminism. Wendy Kaminer wrote in True Love Waits: “If it ultimately fails as a liberation movement, feminism will at least have achieved considerable literary success.” Ungrateful Daughters examines whether the literary success helps or hinders the cause of women’s liberation.
