Download or read book Bitterroot written by Susan Devan Harness and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 High Plains Book Award Winner for the Creative Nonfiction and Indigenous Writer categories In Bitterroot Susan Devan Harness traces her journey to understand the complexities and struggles of being an American Indian child adopted by a white couple and living in the rural American West. When Harness was fifteen years old, she questioned her adoptive father about her “real” parents. He replied that they had died in a car accident not long after she was born—except they hadn’t, as Harness would learn in a conversation with a social worker a few years later. Harness’s search for answers revolved around her need to ascertain why she was the target of racist remarks and why she seemed always to be on the outside looking in. New questions followed her through college and into her twenties when she started her own family. Meeting her biological family in her early thirties generated even more questions. In her forties Harness decided to get serious about finding answers when, conducting oral histories, she talked with other transracial adoptees. In her fifties she realized that the concept of “home” she had attributed to the reservation existed only in her imagination. Making sense of her family, the American Indian history of assimilation, and the very real—but culturally constructed—concept of race helped Harness answer the often puzzling questions of stereotypes, a sense of nonbelonging, the meaning of family, and the importance of forgiveness and self-acceptance. In the process Bitterrootalso provides a deep and rich context in which to experience life.

Download or read book The Storm Within written by Romi Jain and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fascinating novel written with deep passion in a typical poetic and dialogic style. It exposes the deeply rooted evil of the caste oppression in a rigid social hierarchy of India, especially in the rural setting, in which Dalits (suppressed low-caste Hindus) are found on a warpath with Thakurs (feudal lords) in their assertion for self-dignity and social equality. It brings out the finer side of catholicity of Christianity through the character of Robert on the one hand and exposes the inbred social hypocrisy of self-appointed guardians of Hinduism through the characters of orthodox Hindus on the other. The novel reveals the multi-layered storm surging within the heart of a Dalit woman in Bura- an icon of courage and assertion for the Dalit empowerment. More poignantly, it depicts the raging storm in the heart of the royal lady who symbolizes a deep-seated sympathy for Dalits and a profound hatred for the repressive practices of the male members of her own feudal family. The novel is compelling, engaging and exciting spiced with sarcasm and humor. It must attract a general and enlightened readership including NGOs, feminists and social scientists. The Storm Within is thoroughly captivating, the narrative description rich, the characterization vibrant and the human drama vivid and palpable. It is certain to enthrall readers young and old with its timely vision and heartrending call for understanding and compassion. The author's greatest gift is her ability to describe people.. The novel resounds with a brave new voice in the literary scene. It is a miraculous accomplishment for a debut novel. -Timothy B. Watson, Toronto, Canada Literary critic and author of several novels including The Symphony of Time It is lively and interesting, dramatic and with a concern for social problems and social change. The author has quite a good capacity for observation and a strong creative spark. -Genevieve Vaughan Feminist and Founder of Foundation for a Compassionate Society, USA

Book excerpt: This accessible, student-friendly book provides a concise overview of the primary debates surrounding the impact and effects of social media. From Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to Snapchat and TikTok, social media has become part of our everyday experience. However, its proliferation has brought a myriad of serious concerns about the long-term effects of social media on socializing and personal relationships and the impact on well-being and mental health (particularly in relation to children and adolescents), as well as issues linked to information and culture (such as privacy, misinformation, and manipulation). Featuring contributions by leading international scholars and established authorities such as Christian Fuchs, Henry Jenkins, Michael A. Stefanone, and Joan Donovan, editor Devan Rosen brings together key contemporary research from multiple disciplines in order to provide crucial insight into these debates. This book will be an important resource for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as educators, parents, policy makers, and clinicians interested in the impacts of social media.

Download or read book The Struggle for a Multilingual Future written by Christina P. Davis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Struggle for a Multilingual Future, Christina Davis examines the tension between ethnic conflict and multilingual education policy in the linguistic and social practices of Sri Lankan minority youth. Facing a legacy of post-independence language and education policies that were among the complex causes of the Sri Lankan civil war (1983 - 2009), the government has recently sought to promote interethnic integration through trilingual language policies in Sinhala, Tamil, and English in state schools. Integrating ethnographic and linguistic research in and around two schools during the last phase of the war, Davis's research shows how, despite the intention of the reforms, practices on the ground reinforce language-based models of ethnicity and sustain ethnic divisions and power inequalities. By engaging with the actual experiences of Tamil and Muslim youth, Davis demonstrates the difficulties of using language policy to ameliorate ethnic conflict if it does not also address how that conflict is produced and reproduced in everyday talk.
