The Defiant Middle
Author: Kaya Oakes
Publisher: Broadleaf Books
ISBN: 1506467695
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
For every woman, from the young to those in midlife and beyond, who has ever been told, "You can't" and thought, "Oh, I definitely will!"--this book is for you. Women are expected to be many things. They should be young enough, but not too young; old enough, but not too old; creative, but not crazy; passionate, but not angry. They should be fertile and feminine and self-reliant, not barren or butch or solitary. Women, in other words, are caught between social expectations and a much more complicated reality. Women who don't fit in, whether during life transitions or because of changes in their body, mind, or gender identity, are carving out new ways of being in and remaking the world. But this is nothing new: they have been doing so for thousands of years, often at the margins of the same religious traditions and cultures that created these limited ways of being for women in the first place. In The Defiant Middle, Kaya Oakes draws on the wisdom of women mystics and explores how transitional eras or living in marginalized female identities can be both spiritually challenging and wonderfully freeing, ultimately resulting in a reinvented way of seeing the world and changing it. "Change, after all," Oakes writes, "always comes from the margins."

Radical Reinvention
Author: Kaya Oakes
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1619020920
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
As someone who clocked more time in mosh pits and at pro–choice rallies than kneeling in a pew, Kaya Oakes was not necessarily the kind of Catholic girl the Vatican was after. But even while she immersed herself in the punk rock scene and proudly called herself an atheist, something kept pulling her back to the religion of her Irish roots. After running away from the Church for thirty years, Kaya decides to return. Her marriage is under stress, her job is no longer satisfying, and with multiple deaths in her family, a darkness looms large. In spite of her frustration with Catholic conservatism, nothing brings her peace like Mass. After years of searching to no avail for a better religious fit, she realizes that the only way to find harmony—in her faith and her personal life—is to confront the Church she'd left behind. Rebellious and hypercritical, Kaya relearns the catechisms and achieves the sacraments, all while trying to reconcile her liberal beliefs with contemporary Church philosophy. Along the way she meets a group of feisty feminist nuns, a "pray–and–bitch" circle, an all–too handsome Italian priest, and a motley crew of misfits doing their best to find their voices in an outdated institution. This is a story of transformation, not only of Kaya's from ex–Catholic to amateur theologian, but ultimately of the cultural and ethical pushes for change that are rocking the world's largest religion to its core.

Book Description
Legends are immortal dreams made flesh...Kaya Abaniah believes he's an ordinary fourteen-year-old college student. He lives with his mother on the Caribbean island of "Trinidad"; he's passionate about wildlife conservation and has a crush on the prettiest girl in his class.However, one fateful day, Kaya's life is changed forever when he encounters "Papa Bois," a folklore character similar to the Greek god, Pan.

He discovers that men in black are constantly watching him, " Soucouyant," the shape-shifting vampire wants his blood, and his packed lunch is never safe. " Will Kaya succeed in protecting his relatives and friends from the supernatural evils that lurk on the tropic isle? Can he reveal the shape-shifter's secret identity? And, why on Earth is the most gorgeous girl, he's ever known, so interested in him? "Follow Kaya's struggles with love, rivalry, and academic life, as he confronts the terrifying creatures of Trinidad and Tobago's folklore, and unlocks the shocking mystery of "Papa Bois, the father of the forest.""""About Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest: "Kaya Abaniah ("Kah-yuh Abba-na-yuh") is a boy's name. "Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest" is a unique story, set in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. In this two-island Caribbean nation, inhabited primarily by people of African and Indian descent, Trinidadian English is the official spoken language, and Standard English is the official written language. However, Kaya speaks authentic Trinidadian Creole, which is similar, but distinct from Tobagonian Creole. Trinbagonians (Trinidadians and Tobagonians) use Creole in spontaneous conversation, while Trinidadian English is often reserved for more formal speech. Various combinations of English, Trinidadian English, and Creole are not uncommon."About the Author: "Wayne Gerard Trotman is a Trinidadian British writer, blogger, filmmaker, artist, photographer, composer and producer of electronic music. Born in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Trotman immigrated to England in 1984, where he lives with his wife and two sons.""The author takes a medley of science fiction tropes, from aliens and spaceships to telepathy and artificial intelligence and creates an epic, universe-building tale.""
