Download or read book Felix Longoria s Wake written by Patrick J. Carroll and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Tullis Prize, Texas State Historical Association, 2004 Private First Class Felix Longoria earned a Bronze Service Star, a Purple Heart, a Good Conduct Medal, and a Combat Infantryman's badge for service in the Philippines during World War II. Yet the only funeral parlor in his hometown of Three Rivers, Texas, refused to hold a wake for the slain soldier because "the whites would not like it." Almost overnight, this act of discrimination became a defining moment in the rise of Mexican American activism. It launched Dr. Héctor P. García and his newly formed American G.I. Forum into the vanguard of the Mexican civil rights movement, while simultaneously endangering and advancing the career of Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, who arranged for Longoria's burial with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery. In this book, Patrick Carroll provides the first fully researched account of the Longoria controversy and its far-reaching consequences. Drawing on extensive documentary evidence and interviews with many key figures, including Dr. García and Mrs. Longoria, Carroll convincingly explains why the Longoria incident, though less severe than other acts of discrimination against Mexican Americans, ignited the activism of a whole range of interest groups from Argentina to Minneapolis. By putting Longoria's wake in a national and international context, he also clarifies why it became such a flash point for conflicting understandings of bereavement, nationalism, reason, and emotion between two powerful cultures—Mexicanidad and Americanism.
Download or read book America Tattwamasi written by Ramesh Sharma and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America Tattwamasi is a unique mix of religion, politics and spirituality, expressed in poems trying to fathom the depth of philosophy, surrounding our life and the universe. Most importantly, it has offered a wonderful vision of looking at America, the only superpower on earth, by perusing its national character from the perspective of the Upanishadic doctrine, based on the 'Universality of Spirit'. Truly speaking, America Tattwamasi is a revolutionary outburst of a Hindu heart (since the author has identified himself as a Hindu in one of his poems) that dares identify America with fundamental principles and ideals of the Upanishads and the Bhagavadgita. Not least, it goes to the extent of describing this country as the only de facto Hindu State on earth. Perhaps much to the consternation of the entire world, it further segues into the proposition that America be formally declared a Hindu State. Meantime, by incorporating a poem entitled 'Kalopanishad', the author seems to have dared make a bold attempt at redefining and reinventing major religions of the world, virtually in keeping with changed realities of the 21st century. Specially, the mordant criticism this book has reserved for the anomalies and distortions that have plagued major religions, is unusually dauntless and intrepid. Trenchant discomfort expressed about some of the policies of incumbent administration -- that the author believes have sapped America's confidence -- has added to the piquancy of the book. Replete with exquisite flavor of patriotism and philosophy, America Tattwamasi is indeed an echo of Emerson and Whitman combined.
Download or read book America Thy Simmering Agony written by Ramesh Sharma and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the poetic expression of the smoldering pain this great country has of late been subjected to, on account of sleazy power politics, and sordid games of vengeance and retribution. Equally inflicted is this land of the brave by some insidious design, aimed at replacing lofty values and principles of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence with atheistic dogmas, almost bordering on despicable nihilism. What is really pathetic is that there are some forces that seem bent on advancing certain agendas that will eventually jeopardize our position as the uncontested leader of the Free World. Therefore, this book calls for all Americans to realize the true essence of being American, and continue to promote great ideals and principles, virtually based on the most celebrated doctrine of 'Universality of Spirit’. This apart, ‘America Thy Simmering Agony’ also represents an idyllic confluence of philosophy, science, religion and spirituality. Couple of poems’ subtle attempt at evoking aesthetic passion has certainly added to its aroma. “It is my ardent desire to see the Star Spangled Banner of Hindu America flutter in every corner of the world, with the message of democracy, human rights, rule of law, equality, justice, and freedom, as a vivid reflection of our undying faith in human soul.” -Excerpt from AMERICA TATTWAMASI
