Book excerpt: "Are you sure, Gabriel? Are you sure you're not troubled as well?" Priti asks at their first encounter. "I don't think so, Priti, but trouble always seems to find me." Gabriel replies. Gabriel carries the weight of guilt over his older brother's suicide for much of his childhood until a seminal event at the start of adolescence reminds him of a forgotten detail from that tragic night. Gabriel sets his sights on Jack Winter, an elderly neighbor whom he now suspects as having molested his brother, driving him to suicide, and he vows to avenge his brother's death. The seed of this revenge grows and grows until the start of summer of 1983, after his last year of high school. Knowing that his group of friends will soon disperse, Gabriel reveals his plan to kill Mr. Winter. Two people with their own hidden skeletons enter his life during the summer of '83, uncle Leon, an Israeli soldier back to visit after his participation in the Lebanon War, and Priti, a beautiful girl with her own hidden scars. But despite the positive influences of these two people in his life, Gabriel has lived too long with anger and despair, and the only way to exorcise the haunting images of his brother's swinging body is to honor his vow for revenge.

Download or read book Gabriel s Rebellion written by Douglas R. Egerton and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gabriel's Rebellion tells the dramatic story of what was perhaps the most extensive slave conspiracy in the history of the American South. Douglas Egerton illuminates the complex motivations that underlay two related Virginia slave revolts: the first, in 1800, led by the slave known as Gabriel; and the second, called the 'Easter Plot,' instigated in 1802 by one of his followers. Although Gabriel has frequently been portrayed as a messianic, Samson-like figure, Egerton shows that he was a literate and highly skilled blacksmith whose primary goal was to destroy the economic hegemony of the 'merchants,' the only whites he ever identified as his enemies. According to Egerton, the social, political, and economic disorder of the Revolutionary era weakened some of the harsh controls that held slavery in place during colonial times. Emboldened by these conditions, a small number of literate slaves--most of them highly skilled artisans--planned an armed insurrection aimed at destroying slavery in Virginia. The intricate scheme failed, as did the Easter Plot that stemmed from it, and Gabriel and many of his followers were hanged. By placing the revolts within the broader context of the volatile political currents of the day, Egerton challenges the conventional understanding of race, class, and politics in the early days of the American republic.

And as Gabriel reluctantly cares for Laura, she returns his attentions with affection and passion, restoring his ability to hope, dream, and to love once again.
Download or read book Hazardous Metropolis written by Jared Orsi and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004-01-05 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although better known for its sunny skies, Los Angeles suffers devastating flooding. This book explores a fascinating and little-known chapter in the city's history—the spectacular failures to control floods that occurred throughout the twentieth century. Despite the city's 114 debris dams, 5 flood control basins, and nearly 500 miles of paved river channels, Southern Californians have discovered that technologically engineered solutions to flooding are just as disaster-prone as natural waterways. Jared Orsi's lively history unravels the strange and often hazardous ways that engineering, politics, and nature have come together in Los Angeles to determine the flow of water. He advances a new paradigm—the urban ecosystem—for understanding the city's complex and unpredictable waterways and other issues that are sure to play a large role in future planning. As he traces the flow of water from sky to sea, Orsi brings together many disparate and intriguing pieces of the story, including local and national politics, the little-known San Gabriel Dam fiasco, the phenomenal growth of Los Angeles, and, finally, the influence of environmentalism. Orsi provocatively widens his vision toward other cities for which Los Angeles may offer a lesson—both of things gone wrong and a glimpse of how they might be improved.
