Download or read book Among the Sea Gypsies written by Joseph Zanetti and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has a story to tell. But not all have voices. That's what drove me to write this book --- to serve as a small voice to a marginalized, discriminated against and oppressed tribe in the Philippines; the Badjao. My experiences take place on the island of Mindanao. Mindanao is the Southern most and second largest island in the entire Philippine archipelago. This book divided into two parts; the first part tells about the world I used to revolve in back in the First World and the second part the one I am now living with my new-found Badjao friends in the Third World. This is not a history book nor is it an ethnography book. This is a narrative of my actual experiences with my Badjao friends in the Philippines and how they changed my general viewpoints about life and strengthened my spiritual faith. This is a book about my journey towards understanding a widely misunderstood group of people in this part of the Philippines. I don't claim to know all about them, I simply love them. In the end, it was them who gave me more lessons in life than I thought I could teach them. I taught them ABCs and arithmetic. They taught me resilience, freedom, contentment and happiness. By purchasing this book you will help change the world. Well, maybe not the whole world, but certainly the world of the Badjao children who attend the Babina Monare Badjao Learning Center. Thank you for your purchase.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sea Gypsies of Malaya: An Account of the Nomadic Mawken People of the Mergui Archipelago With a Description of Their Ways of Living, Customs, Habits, Boats, Occupations Etc;, Etc;, Etc When Mr White came to Oxford to read a paper on the Mawken before our Anthropological Society, most of us had hitherto never heard of those people, at any rate under that name. Thereupon, having gauged his attitude towards wild folk in general, I gladly promised to furnish any book that Mr White should write about them with an introductory note, not because I was in any way competent to supplement the information collected by him, but simply in order to associate myself with an enterprise that I felt to be useful. For surely it is useful in the highest degree to everyone who takes an interest in his fellow-men that he should be taught to respect them even when their circumstances are lowly. These Mawken are, to judge by externals, scarcely better off than the mud-fish on which they live. To accompany our author on a trip in one of their reeking dug-outs is a trying experience, even when but imagined from the depth of an arm-chair. Nevertheless, as we follow Mr White in his efforts to make friends with the Mawken, we find ourselves becoming friendly towards them too. This book, then, in my view at least, is thoroughly anthropological in spirit, because all anthropology, whether pure or applied, has its root in human sympathy. Hoc fundamentum rei est. Human nature is only to be understood from within. The supreme object of the study of our fellow-man is to join souls with him. Nor is such contact so difficult to achieve as it might at a first glance seem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Outer Banks Sea Gypsies written by Capt. Gardner Martin Kelley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story of adventure is of the last days of the cargo sailing schooners that carried freight to all ports of the world. Captain Ficketts son, Ron is swept overboard, to drift ashore on the desolate Outer Banks of North Carolina. The ship is wrecked, later several miles below Cape Hatteras (The Graveyard of the Atlantic). The captain is murdered as he tries to get ashore. Johnny Mapp, one of the many squatters, remnants of Sir Walter Raleighs Lost Colony, sees the murder. He was worried of being implicated should an investigation begin. He uses the ship tool chest loot and his share of the lumber cargo to build a raft houseboat. He liked the simple way of life here on this barrier of ocean side sand with oak trees and myrtle bushes. Johnny, with his family leaves it all behind; they have adventure and learning to do as the raft moves south. The young daughter is kidnapped by hard case rum runners from Cuba; to sell to the White Slave Market. She escapes her abusers, and adapts to the roll of a mute, Tiar of the Street Kids. She does what is necessary to stay alive, hoping to get back to her family, somewhere along the waterway. Now the young girl is with child; she wants to go home and see her mother. She has acquired the carnal knowledge of a Havana Whore. Some good luck comes her way. She hears of a plot to kill an old sea dog for his small sailing yacht. She saves the old captains life and he rewards her by sailing her home to her mother, to care for and raise the boy child. Cissy becomes Queen Tiar of the Rum Runners. She returns to her mother at the Pink Plantation that she bought with her captors money to live with her family. This is her story too. Ron hears the truth of his fathers murder from Johnny Mapp, he gets revenge and justice. The waves roll up and down the sand at the Outer Banks as it has done, and will do, forever more.
Download or read book At Home on the Waves written by Tanya J. King and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary public discourses about the ocean are routinely characterized by scientific and environmentalist narratives that imagine and idealize marine spaces in which humans are absent. In contrast, this collection explores the variety of ways in which people have long made themselves at home at sea, and continue to live intimately with it. In doing so, it brings together both ethnographic and archaeological research – much of it with an explicit Ingoldian approach – on a wide range of geographical areas and historical periods.
