Twenty years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five residents.

America in 1982: Japanese car companies are on the rise and believed to be putting U.S. autoworkers out of their jobs. Anti–Asian American sentiment simmers, especially in Detroit. A bar fight turns fatal, leaving a Chinese American man, Vincent Chin, beaten to death at the hands of two white men, autoworker Ronald Ebens and his stepson, Michael Nitz. Paula Yoo has crafted a searing examination of the killing and the trial and verdicts that followed. When Ebens and Nitz pled guilty to manslaughter and received only a $3,000 fine and three years’ probation, the lenient sentence sparked outrage. The protests that followed led to a federal civil rights trial—the first involving a crime against an Asian American—and galvanized what came to be known as the Asian American movement. Extensively researched from court transcripts, contemporary news accounts, and in-person interviews with key participants, From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry is a suspenseful, nuanced, and authoritative portrait of a pivotal moment in civil rights history, and a man who became a symbol against hatred and racism.

Book excerpt: Ray and her friend Becky are devastated by what they see. Tens of thousands of Monarchs are clinging to the sand along the shores of Lake Erie with their wings shredded and broken by the harsh storm. They work throughout the night collecting and bringing thousands of monarchs into Ray’s cottage, so they can continue their epic migration after the storm has passed. The death of her friend Becky to a rare form of cancer spirals Ray into depression. Finally, Ray leaves her room and heads into nature where life is flourishing all around her. Her curiosity returns as she opens a milkweed pod. Remembering the Monarchs that she and Becky saved last summer gives Ray an idea for her next big adventure. Using a little deception, Ray convinces Jordi, to fly her in his two-seater ultralight, in the midst of the Monarchs all the way down the spine of North America to their overwintering place in Mexico. Every place the Monarchs touch down along their migration path, Ray and Jordi are introduced to a compelling lesson along the Butterfly Way. It’s almost as though the Monarchs are teaching them a new way of seeing, experiencing and moving in the world around them. On route over Texas, Ray & Jordi discover that a nuclear missile test launch will occur in the exact spot where every Monarch flyway on the planet is converging. They are the only ones to know that an ecocide is about to take place. Then can’t redirect this many Monarchs and so it’s up to them to stop the test launch. From the cockpit of the Qbee they go online to Monarch Watch, the Sierra Club and radio the Dyess Airforce Base Commander. Flying straight into the missile’s path, with just seven seconds left before blast off, their fate is now intertwined with the Monarchs. They discover the power of advocacy and social networks and how rigid the hierarchy of command is. In adventure after adventure, flying alongside and landing with the Monarchs, Ray and her co-pilot face real-world perils, like narcotic trafficking, and yet all along the Butterfly Way they find good people risking themselves to redeem a broken world. Travel with Ray and Jordi as they gain the skills and awareness needed to take care of this fiercely beautiful planet.

Download or read book The Butterfly s Way written by Edwidge Danticat and published by Soho Press. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In five sections—Childhood, Migration, Half/First Generation, Return, and Future—the thirty-three contributors to this anthology write movingly, often hauntingly, of their lives in Haiti and the United States. Their dyaspora, much like a butterfly's fluctuating path, is a shifting landscape in which there is much travel between two worlds, between their place of origin and their adopted land. This compilation of essays and poetry brings together Haitian-Americans of different generations and backgrounds, linking the voices for whom English is a first language and others whose dreams will always be in French and Kreyòl. Community activists, scholars, visual artists and filmmakers join renowned journalists, poets, novelists and memoirists to produce a poignant portrayal of lives in transition. Edwidge Danticat, in her powerful introduction, pays tribute to Jean Dominique, a sometime participant in the Haitian dyaspora and a recent martyr to Haiti's troubled politics, and the many members of the dyaspora who refused to be silenced. Their stories confidently and passionately illustrate the joys and heartaches, hopes and aspirations of a relatively new group of immigrants belonging to two countries that have each at times maligned and embraced them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Four Insights are the wisdom teachings that have been protected by secret societies of Earthkeepers, the medicine men and women of the Americas. The Insights state that all creation—humans, whales, and even stars—is made from light manifest through the power of intention. The Earthkeepers mastered the Insights, and used them to heal disease, eliminate emotional suffering, and even grow new bodies that age and heal differently. Mastery of the Insights allows you to reinform your DNA and participate consciously in your biological, emotional, and spiritual evolution. According to the prophecies of the Maya, Hopi, and Inka Earthkeepers, we’re at a turning point in human history, when a new species of human will give birth to itself. We’re going to take a quantum leap into what we’re becoming and will no longer be Homo sapiens but Homo luminouos. The Four Insights reveal ancient technologies we can practice for becoming beings of light with the ability to perceive the energy and vibration that make up the physical universe at a much higher level.
