ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
The history, way of life, beliefs, and customs of the Kwaaymii (the Laguna Band of Mission Indians) as remembered by Tom Lucas, the last Kwaaymii. A revised edition of Cline's 1979 The Kwaaymii: Reflections on a Lost Culture, which describes life for the Kwaaymii, also known as Mountain Kumeyaay (now known as the Laguna Band of Mission Indians).

Cline also describes the beliefs of the Kwaaymii and the myths and legends which help perpetuate those beliefs. Maps, illustrations and several appendices add to the information about the culture. The book is based almost entirely on the contribution of one informant, Tom Lucas, the "last" of the Kwaaymii. Tom Lucas, born February 20th, 1903 was the last full-blooded Kwaaymii. The Kwaaymii of the Laguna Mountains was a sub-tribe of a larger group of Indians who at one time inhabited the southernmost section of California. The 1860 smallpox outbreak and the 1918 influenza epidemic had taken a heavy toll of the Kwaaymii people, and Tom was the only way they had of continuing the Kwaaymii heritage, so the tribe told him all they could pass on about their people¿s customs and beliefs. Tom Lucas died in 1989.Lora L. Cline interviewed Tom Lucas about the history, way of life, beliefs, and customs of the Kwaaymii in order to write The Kwaaymii: Reflections on a Lost Culture in 1979. That book was revised and expanded and published as Just Before Sunset by J and L Enterprises in 1984; this book, and illustrated it with his daughter SuSaan¿s drawings and Lora¿s illustrations and maps plus historic photos from the Lucas family collection. A long-time resident of California, Cline now lives in Arizona.

Sunset in the Morning
Author: Ambrose Bruce Chimbganda
Publisher: Partridge Africa
ISBN: 1482825570
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
Sunset in the Morning is a tragic novel whose simplicity, rare imagery, idiom and accent carries the torch in modern Zimbabwean literature. In the novel Ndoda, a seasoned former guerrilla fighter, is appointed to spearhead development. Initially he is a hero, but the trappings of power transform him into a ruthless dictator who brooks no criticism. And faced with drought and AIDS, he unscrupulously exploits these calamities to enrich himself, becoming a filthy rich mogul through gold panning and selling rubies and sapphires clandestinely. Ndodas autocratic rule is, however, fiercely opposed by David Kaseke, a local high school teacher and Rufaro, a law student. To silence them, Ndoda orders his lackey, Mandebvu, to deal with Rufaro who is stabbed twice near the heart but survives the assassination. Years later Rufaro, now a qualified attorney, is found dead in a police cell. Similarly, David is brutally tortured by the partisan police. As the sun sets on his life, Ndoda is found dead on his expensive mahogany bed, having been haunted by the ghost of a spirit medium he had previously ordered to be killed. His benevolent will, though, raises new hope for the future.

Book Description
* A Chicago Public Library’s Best of the Best Books of 2019 Selection * A Canadian Children’s Book Center Best Books for Kids & Teens Pick * From debut author Tina Athaide comes a soaring tale of empathy, hope, and resilience, as two best friends living under Ugandan President Amin’s divisive rule must examine where—and who—they call home. Perfect for fans of Half from the East and Inside Out and Back Again. Asha and her best friend, Yesofu, never cared about the differences between them: Indian. African. Girl. Boy. Short. Tall. But when Idi Amin announces that Indians have ninety days to leave the country, suddenly those differences are the only things that people in Entebbe can see—not the shared after-school samosas or Asha cheering for Yesofu at every cricket game. Determined for her life to stay the same, Asha clings to her world tighter than ever before. But Yesofu is torn, pulled between his friends, his family, and a promise of a better future. Now as neighbors leave and soldiers line the streets, the two friends find that nothing seems sure—not even their friendship. Tensions between Indians and Africans intensify and the deadline to leave is fast approaching. Could the bravest thing of all be to let each other go?
