Book Description
Pick me up, my poetry calls, I will tell you tales versed in rhyme and rhythm. Let me begin with an avatar called woman. Sense her dilemma as she moonlights in RED. Become aware of her as she tantalizes you in HUSHED IN MY THINK THE WOMAN IN ME. Experience her sensuality in SUMMER RAIN. An aura of haunting calm surrounds a river in flow. Resonating chants BY THE GANGES evokes a sense of peace and serenity. Eerie the silence of a loom in an abandoned room speaks of a bygone era and a forgotten craft in THE WEAVER. A photographer clicks a picture of an unknown girl. He feels a psychic pull in her eyes. One day he reads about a girl who is found mysteriously dead. It is THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPH. In THE PIGEON MAN AND HIS SOLDIER BIRDS I verse lines against a backdrop of the devastating World War One. Carrier Pigeons played a vital part as they proved to be an extremely reliable way of sending messages. The pigeon lofts with their Pigeon Man advanced with the soldiers. Every person has their own story, yet an echo overlaps. I express these stories through my poetry and as my lines unfold I realize there is a bit of everyone in all of us. So ..Dont stop, keep the pages turning, it doesnt end here. I will leave you to discover the rest

Book Description
Jews have long been in the vanguard of the struggle for civil liberties in America. But as this excellent new collection demonstrates, the American Jewish community's reaction to the black civil rights movement was less enthusiastic than many may realize or be willing to accept.... Many of the most provocative points concern northern Jewish ambivalence toward African-Americans and integration.... A carefully crafted and subtle collection that will interest scholars of American Jewish history, black-Jewish relations, and the American civil rights movement.

Beyond Silenced Voices

Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Winner of the 2006 Critics' Choice Award presented by the American Educational Studies Association Resting on the belief that educators must be at the center of informing education policy, the contributors to this revised edition of the classic text raise tough questions that will both haunt and invigorate pre- and in-service educators, as well as veteran teachers. They explore the policies and practices of structuring exclusions; they listen hard to youth living at the margins of race, class, ethnicity, and gender; and they wrestle with fundamental inequalities of space in order to educate for change. Written from the perspective of researchers, policy analysts, teachers, and youth workers, the book reveals a shared belief in education that "could be," and a shared concern about schools that currently reproduce class, race and gender relations, and privilege.

Tracing Silences
Author: Ana Dragojlovic
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000889009
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Silence is crucial to our social world. Responding to the growing scholarly interest in social sciences and humanities for more in-depth engagements with social silence, this book explores what it means to trace silences and to include traces of silences in our scholarly representations. What qualifies as silence, and how does it relate to articulation, to voice, visibility and representation? How can silences be sensed and experienced viscerally as well as narratively? And how do we think with and interpret silences in the face of potential unknowability? Grounded in ethnographic research in the Netherlands, Israel, Turkey, China, and Indonesia, the chapters all contribute to a theorization of silence that embraces multivocality, unintelligibility and uncertainty of interpretation. As a collection of cutting-edge scholarly work at the intersection of anthropology and history, Tracing Silences argues for an in-depth engagement with the unspeakable and unspoken, through a range of modes and methods, and in the historical, social, and political ways in which they emerge and are enacted in the particularities of people’s lives. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of history, anthropology, sociology, political science and archival studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of History and Anthropology.

Silence Is My Mother Tongue
Author: Sulaiman Addonia
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1644451298
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
A sensuous, textured novel of life in a refugee camp, long-listed for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction On a hill overlooking a refugee camp in Sudan, a young man strings up bedsheets that, in an act of imaginative resilience, will serve as a screen in his silent cinema. From the cinema he can see all the comings and goings in the camp, especially those of two new arrivals: a girl named Saba, and her mute brother, Hagos. For these siblings, adapting to life in the camp is not easy. Saba mourns the future she lost when she was forced to abandon school, while Hagos, scorned for his inability to speak, must live vicariously through his sister. Both resist societal expectations by seeking to redefine love, sex, and gender roles in their lives, and when a businessman opens a shop and befriends Hagos, they cast off those pressures and make an unconventional choice. With this cast of complex, beautifully drawn characters, Sulaiman Addonia details the textures and rhythms of everyday life in a refugee camp, and questions what it means to be an individual when one has lost all that makes a home or a future. Intimate and subversive, Silence Is My Mother Tongue dissects the ways society wages war on women and explores the stories we must tell to survive in a broken, inhospitable environment.

Seeing Voices
Author: Oliver Sacks
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307365751
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
Like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, this is a fascinating voyage into a strange and wonderful land, a provocative meditation on communication, biology, adaptation, and culture. In Seeing Voices, Oliver Sacks turns his attention to the subject of deafness, and the result is a deeply felt portrait of a minority struggling for recognition and respect — a minority with its own rich, sometimes astonishing, culture and unique visual language, an extraordinary mode of communication that tells us much about the basis of language in hearing people as well. Seeing Voices is, as Studs Terkel has written, "an exquisite, as well as revelatory, work."
