Central America's Forgotten History
Author: Aviva Chomsky
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807056545
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Restores the region’s fraught history of repression and resistance to popular consciousness and connects the United States’ interventions and influence to the influx of refugees seeking asylum today. At the center of the current immigration debate are migrants from Central America fleeing poverty, corruption, and violence in search of refuge in the United States. In Central America’s Forgotten History, Aviva Chomsky answers the urgent question “How did we get here?” Centering the centuries-long intertwined histories of US expansion and Indigenous and Central American struggles against inequality and oppression, Chomsky highlights the pernicious cycle of colonial and neocolonial development policies that promote cultures of violence and forgetting without any accountability or restorative reparations. Focusing on the valiant struggles for social and economic justice in Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Honduras, Chomsky restores these vivid and gripping events to popular consciousness. Tracing the roots of displacement and migration in Central America to the Spanish conquest and bringing us to the present day, she concludes that the more immediate roots of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras lie in the wars and in the US interventions of the 1980s and the peace accords of the 1990s that set the stage for neoliberalism in Central America. Chomsky also examines how and why histories and memories are suppressed, and the impact of losing historical memory. Only by erasing history can we claim that Central American countries created their own poverty and violence, while the United States’ enjoyment and profit from their bananas, coffee, mining, clothing, and export of arms are simply unrelated curiosities.

The animals loved the blind dog and wanted to support their new friends in the loss of their pet. The grandkids provided extensive help to their wildlife friends, helping them solve personal problems, which caused friendships to escalate. Grandma’s love and devotion to her grandkids never wavered. Five owls, who lead the groups, initiated a program in which their peers were judged to find any who were suffering excessively and were targeted to be put to sleep. That led to the dog being mistakenly attacked and dying because his condition was not understood. Later, the owl leader realizes this program was a mistake, and with Natalie’s help, announced a new program that will treat ill patients. Hoppy, the rabbit, witnessed the coyote attacking the dog. When this becomes known, the five owl group leaders bring the suspected coyote to court. Hoppy is the star witness. Other witnesses are presented including Willie, the mockingbird, whose superior memory is used by him to go to the Coyote Country, memorize the testimonies of the accused coyote and his father and present their testimonies at the trial. All coyotes had been banned from attending the trial. The accused coyote was found guilty.

This story emphasizes how important grandparents are for their grandkids and likewise. Yes, a coyote did attack the family dog. But was the rest of the story a dream, or did it actually happen? Aren’t grandmas great?

The Dead Shall Not Rest
Author: Tessa Harris
Publisher: Kensington Publishing Corp.
ISBN: 0758286228
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
An American anatomist contends with body snatchers plaguing 1782 London in this historical mystery for fans of Caleb Carr. It is not just the living who are prey to London's criminals and cutpurses. Corpses, too, are fair game—dug up from fresh graves and sold to unscrupulous men of science. Dr. Thomas Silkstone abhors such methods, but his leading rival, Dr. John Hunter, has learned of the imminent death of eight-foot-tall Charles Byrne, known as the “Irish Giant,” and will go to any lengths to obtain the body for his research. Thomas intends to see that Byrne is allowed to rest in peace. Yet his efforts are complicated by concern for his betrothed, Lady Lydia Farrell, who breaks off their engagement without explanation. When Dr. Hunter is implicated in the horrific murder of a young castrato, Thomas must determine how far the increasingly erratic surgeon will go in the name of knowledge. For as Thomas knows too well, the blackest hearts sometimes go undetected—and even an unblemished façade can hide terrifying secrets… Praise for The Dead Shall Not Rest “Outstanding…. Well-rounded characters, cleverly concealed evidence, and an assured prose style point to a long run for this historical series.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review “Populated with real historical characters and admirably researched, Harris's novel features a complex and engrossing plot. A touch of romance makes this sophomore outing even more enticing. Savvy readers will also recall Hilary Mantel’s The Giant, O’Brien.”—Library Journal
