Book Description
Dreams can be the very basic plans of life, disturbing the qualities of my five senses. I began witnessing many perplexing situations in life that would not relate to my common sense. A man speaks to me from standing at my side yet the shadow engulfs his body as he appears without a face! How can a man appear right beside me and have no face for me to see? “Life is not how you make it, but how you dream it.” It seems to be a lesson well taught as the dream, and the events as in the dream unveil when I do see a face. Alone and suddenly caught up in the aura of love that for the moment seemed to have nothing to do with none of my five senses, yet I was so fully aware of being loved like I’ve never knew. Finally, seeing what was attracting me, it was not at all what I would ever guess could happen to me. But it did here in my soul, just like it was a dream, and then, realizing what was happening in my life was not only a dream, but just the beginning of “Souluos”—the spiritual joining of me with a man! Joy is a dreamer. What if her dreams in the night, when her eyes are closed, do come true in her life with a man that has no emotions? Chemistry of a man’s love is a different kind of spirit that captures the heart of a woman this time. Even broad daylight is blind when God joins her in “Souluos.”

Your Face in Mine
Author: Jess Row
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1594633843
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A widely praised young writer delivers a daring, ambitious novel about identity and race in the age of globalization. One afternoon, not long after Kelly Thorndike has moved back to his hometown of Baltimore, an African American man he doesn't recognize calls out to him. To Kelly’s shock, the man identifies himself as Martin, who was one of Kelly’s closest friends in high school—and, before his disappearance nearly twenty years before, white and Jewish. Martin then tells an astonishing story: after years of immersing himself in black culture, he’s had a plastic surgeon perform “racial reassignment surgery”: altering his hair, skin, and physiognomy to allow him to pass as African American. Unknown to his family or childhood friends, Martin has been living a new life ever since. Now, however, Martin feels he can no longer keep his identity a secret; he wants Kelly to help him ignite a controversy that will help sell racial reassignment surgery to the world. Inventive and thought-provoking, Your Face in Mine is a brilliant novel about cultural and racial alienation and the nature of belonging in a world where identity can be a stigma or a lucrative brand.

The British Folk Revival
Author: Dr Michael Brocken
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409493601
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The British Folk Revival is the very first historical and theoretical work to consider the post-war folk revival in Britain from a popular music studies perspective. Michael Brocken provides a historical narrative of the folk revival from the 1940s up until the 1990s, beginning with the emergence of the revival from within and around the left-wing movements of the 1940s and 1950s. Key figures and organizations such as the Workers' Music Association, the BBC, the English Folk Dance and Song Society, A.L. Lloyd and Ewan MacColl are examined closely. By looking at the work of British Communist Party splinter groups it is possible to see the refraction of folk music as a political tool. Brocken openly challenges folk historicity and internal narrative by discussing the convergence of folk and pop during the 1950s and 1960s. The significant development of the folk/rock hybrid is considered alongside 'class', 'Americana', radio and the strength of pop culture. Brocken shows how the dichotomy of artistic (natural) versus industry (mass-produced) music since the 1970s has led to a fragmentation and constriction of the folk revival. The study concludes with a look at the upsurge of the folk music industry, the growth of festivals and the implications of the Internet for the British folk revival. Brocken suggests the way forward should involve an acknowledgement that folk music is not superior to but is, in fact, a form of popular music. The book will create lively debate among the folk music fraternity and popular music scholars, as well as folklorists and ethnomusicologists. A unique discography and history of the Topic Record label is also included.
