Book Description
"The South African nursing experience over 90 years has been adequately documented and may be found on the shelves of public libraries, university libraries and hospital libraries as well as between the pages of "struggle literature" such as Critical Health. This book does not attempt academic analysis per se, rather is it an authentic oral and written account of the experiences, which shaped the careers of black nurses. The sample of respondents was picked at random across the country, as time and private purse allowed. They were assured anonymity in that only first or nicknames would be used as a rule, except where a surname carries historical significance. In 1994, when the winds of changes blew democracy across the political landscape, the South African nursing profession too was gusted along the road of revolution. It was no longer a question of whether change would come, but when. Nonceba Lubanga in her chapter "Nursing in South Africa" has been given a detailed account of the struggle of black nurses, referring to them as "the unsung heroes of the African struggle in South Africa."--P. [4] of cover.

Book Description
This unusually frank and honest memoir deals with the life of Nigel Quiney from his earliest memories of living through the blitz of London in WWII, to when he was twenty-one and boarded the Queen Elizabeth believing he was emigrating to the USA. His experiences there and travelling coast-to-coast are a fascinating read as he details how a young Englishman saw this country in 1960. In this book he details how he realised that he was gay at a very early age in London and how he came to terms with it, at the same time discovering what was then the underworld of London's gay life.A fascinating read for anyone interested in this period of war and the difficult after-years for a young man knowing that he was different and ultimately discovering his gayness when the very mention of the subject was taboo, but acting upon it. This is the first of four memoirs.

Book Description
It is 1979. The author travels (and takes the reader) by rail, boat, bus, rental car, bicycle, and Shanks's pony up the East Coast from Washington to Maine, "going from here to there, to see" what in thirty years has changed in the land, the landscape, the society. He reflects on history, he dreams, he digresses untethered and, "perhaps to delay" his own painful progress, he interpolates passages from the high-satirical Caldoon Wars, chronicle of Operation Mollycoddle, a U.S. military action to rein in a secessionist Maine and, as though in passing, to destroy Caldoon himself. The passing of another thirty years has not dulled the author's critical vision. After all, we still confront " ... a future without freedom ... where the repressed seek more repression ... a direct route to torture chambers and random terror, the return of religion, barbarity..."
