Book Description
A southern Protestant church is rudely thrust into a traumatic upheaval by an audacious crime perpetrated on the entire congregation. Resolution of this crime required ingenuity, courage and trust - - traits that only a cadre of its members possessed - - and that pocket of faithful resistance rose to defend against evil forces. Thankfully, pockets of courage still exist in the real world dominated by primordial evil; without pockets of love and spiritual soundness, chaos would run rampant and the Devil would have his way. Everyone who has been active in a church will quickly recognize the human frailty of some characters in this story. They will also be able to relate to those characters that have courage and an indomitable spirit. Undoubtedly, readers will be able to project names and faces from his or her own church to this storys main characters; the author did. Diamond Jubilee At Riverside illustrates opposing forces at work in a church setting as it deals with spiritual malaise that is exacerbated by external evil forces. This requires references to dogma and soul survival, which are cornerstones of religious sects. After reading this story, an ordained minister asked the author, How were you able to get into the head of a typical minister, and accurately describe church life from that perspective? The answer is obvious. All church members are ministers in a way, and as such, should be faithful pockets of resistance to the Devil. Diamond Jubilee At Riverside is a fictional story about one pocket of believers that fought evil and won.

Relocations
Author: Karen Tongson
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814783090
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
What queer lives, loves and possibilities teem within suburbia’s little boxes? Moving beyond the imbedded urban/rural binary, Relocations offers the first major queer cultural study of sexuality, race and representation in the suburbs. Focusing on the region humorists have referred to as “Lesser Los Angeles”—a global prototype for sprawl—Karen Tongson weaves through suburbia’s “nowhere”spaces to survey our spatial imaginaries: the aesthetic, creative and popular materials of the new suburbia. Across southern California’s freeways, beneath its overpasses and just beyond its winding cloverleaf interchanges, Tongson explores the improvisational archives of queer suburban sociability, from multimedia artist Lynne Chan’s JJ Chinois projects and the amusement park night-clubs of 1980s Orange County to the imperial legacies of the region known as the Inland Empire. By taking a hard look at the cosmopolitanism historically considered de rigeur for queer subjects, while engaging with the so-called “New Suburbanism” that has captivated the national imaginary in everything from lifestyle trends to electoral politics, Relocations radically revises our sense of where to see and feel queer of color sociability, politics and desire.
