Download or read book My Adopted Country Australia written by Erwin Feeken and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins with a chapter on homeland memories, followed by the authors and his wifes first experiences in Australia in 1954. For the first decade they moved from place to place, finally settling down in Canberra. These adventures are expressed in chapters on Tasmania, Darwin, a 15month stay in Canberra, Grafton, and finally Canberra again. The family, now with five daughters, settled in the National Capital where Mr Feeken became permanently employed as a draftsman and cartographer with the Bureau of Mineral Resources (now Geoscience Australia). Being interested in Australian Exploration, the family travelled year after year, checking out explorers discoveries, culminating in the publication of The Discovery and Exploration of Australia in 1970. Afterwards, the family still travelled, year after year, the vast expanses of the Australian Continent, often checking out explorers routes. After the untimely death of Mrs Feeken in 2005, the author was encouraged by friends to write up this story. The fascination for travelling the outback continued into the next generation. In 2007, Mr Feeken travelled with his granddaughter Kiah around Australia and to the centre, covering nearly 30 000 km in 6 months.
Download or read book The Uprooted written by Dorit Bader Whiteman and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2007-10-10 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whiteman, who escaped from Nazi-occupied Austria with her family, is now a clinical psychologist in New York. Her impassioned, riveting study of the Jews who managed to leave Germany and Austria before Hitler implemented mass executions and death camps is based partly on interviews with 190 escapees. She tells the incredible story of the Kindertransport operation, which took 10,000 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied countries to England by train and ferry. Adolf Eichmann, then an emigration official, disdainfully approved this mass exodus. We learn of the formidable barriers escapees faced in getting out, of horrid or supportive foster homes, of the trauma and pain of being forcibly uprooted. Many escapees endured years of poverty before re-establihsing themselves. Whiteman rejects Hannah Arendt's thesis that German Jews' cultural assimilation led to their political blindness in a "fool's paradise." This is a distinctive contribution to Holocaust literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ashraf Sufi came to the United States of America thinking he wouldn’t struggle. He was wrong. For the first fifteen years in the U.S., life was so difficult that he wanted to go back to his home country of Pakistan. Slowly and gradually, things started getting better. In this memoir, he recalls his upbringing in Pakistan and traces the history of his family—much of which is unknown even to his relatives. He describes his struggles in schools, including the obstacles he overcame to earn his medical education. Although he struggled with his medical training, Sufi went on to build a vast medical practice and is widely respected in the medical field. The author also highlights the challenges he faced encouraging his children to maintain their Asian identity and faith. He shares his love for family and looks back at the travels he has enjoyed throughout the world, the places he lived, and the historical events happened during his stay in Pakistan and the USA. Join the author as he reveals the lessons he’s learned in making the United States his home and celebrates his love of family and medicine in The Struggles of an Immigrant.
Download or read book Return written by Ghada Karmi and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary memoir of exile and the impossibility of finding home, from the author of In Search of Fatima “The journey filled me with bitterness and grief. I remember looking down on a nighttime Tel Aviv from the windows of a place taking me back to London and thinking hopelessly, ‘flotsam and jetsam, that’s what we’ve become, scattered and divided. There’s no room for us or our memories here. And it won’t be reversed.’” Having grown up in Britain following her family’s exile from Palestine, doctor, author and academic Ghada Karmi leaves her adoptive home in a quest to return to her homeland. She starts work with the Palestinian Authority and gets a firsthand understanding of its bizarre bureaucracy under Israel’s occupation. In her quest, she takes the reader on a fascinating journey into the heart of one of the world’s most intractable conflict zones and one of the major issues of our time. Visiting places she has not seen since childhood, her unique insights reveal a militarised and barely recognisable homeland, and her home in Jerusalem, like much of the West Bank, occupied by strangers. Her encounters with politicians, fellow Palestinians, and Israeli soldiers cause her to question what role exiles like her have in the future of their country and whether return is truly possible.
