Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a saga of an unusual family that takes place from the late 1800s through 1930. The author fictionalized the stories that her mother told her about her family’s life. The Kamensky family flees the destruction and wreckage they suffered in Kovno, Lithuania, to emigrate to the United States. Each child in the family grows up in the New World following different paths. History is incorporated in the story of their lives. Moishe changes his name to Morris and goes on to become a millionaire. He marries Annette, the last child of sixteen siblings, who has been raised by wealthy adoptive parents who rescued her from poverty. Morris loses his fortune in the Great Depression. His life comes to an end quite unexpectedly in a tragic way. Ida changes her name to Ada and remains an ‘old maid’ until Ben comes along. She gives birth to Reva and lives until the age of 104.

Book excerpt: Contrary to popular perceptions, cultural heritage is not given, but constantly in the making: a construction subject to dynamic processes of (re)inventing culture within particular social formations and bound to particular forms of mediation. Yet the appeal of cultural heritage often rests on its denial of being a fabrication, its promise to provide an essential ground to social-cultural identities. Taking this paradoxical feature as a point of departure, and anchoring the discussion to two heuristic concepts—the "politics of authentication" and "aesthetics of persuasion"—the chapters herein explore how this tension is central to the dynamics of heritage formation worldwide.

Your spirit will be nourished by reading this book. Jeremiah 31:3 says, The Lord has appeared of old to me saying, Yes I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you. God is supreme, and his supremacy should and must be acknowledged by those he created. Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. What a gracious and loving God he is! He creates life and only he has the power to control life. He gives and he takes. While still alive, allow God in his supremacy and divinity or divine nature to take absolute control of your being and life. You didnt create yourself, he did, and he is able to sustain you in all aspects of your life. Jeremiah 30:17 says, For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds, says the Lord, because they called you an outcast saying this is Zion no one seeks her. Romans 5:8 says, But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Gods plans toward you, his creation, are enormous and resounding. He proves it with the backing of all the promises given in the Holy Scriptures for us to read, claim, and proclaim it because they are words of life and brings prosperity. You Are Cherished is the book to have, to give, and to cherish for generations to come. God bless you as you read. Amen.

Download or read book The Past Is a Foreign Country Revisited written by David Lowenthal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past remains essential - and inescapable. A quarter-century after the publication of his classic account of man's attitudes to his past, David Lowenthal revisits how we celebrate, expunge, contest and domesticate the past to serve present needs. He shows how nostalgia and heritage now pervade every facet of public and popular culture. History embraces nature and the cosmos as well as humanity. The past is seen and touched and tasted and smelt as well as heard and read about. Empathy, re-enactment, memory and commemoration overwhelm traditional history. A unified past once certified by experts and reliant on written texts has become a fragmented, contested history forged by us all. New insights into history and memory, bias and objectivity, artefacts and monuments, identity and authenticity, and remorse and contrition, make this book once again the essential guide to the past that we inherit, reshape and bequeath to the future.

Download or read book Mapping the Nation written by Sheshalatha Reddy and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing specifically on the poetic construction of India, 'Mapping the Nation' offers a broad selection of poetry written by Indians in English during the period 1870-1920. Centering upon the "mapping" of India - both as a regional location and as a poetic ideal - this unique anthology presents poetry from various geographical nodal points of the subcontinent, as well as that written in the imperial metropole of England. The anthology's selection defines India in various ways: as being against Britain in loyalty and/or critique; in "exile" in or through memories of England; through a reconstructed past; through satirical or earnest depictions of her contemporary politics; through depictions of the subcontinent's landscape and scenery; through her various regions and their inhabitants, customs, cultures and religions; or through odes to British and Indian literary figures and politicians. This rich bounty of content is complemented by an equally detailed array of auxiliary notes, including annotations and appendices of poets' prefaces, assessments of other contemporaries, and a collection of formerly lost archive material. As becomes evident, the diversity of India's imagining by her poets during this period corresponds to the diversity of her inhabitants and geography. In grouping its poetry according to region of publication, this anthology makes a structural innovation that negotiates the politics of locality, nation and empire by acknowledging the importance of all three terms in constructing an Indian national and cultural identity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
