Download or read book The Blood Runs Like a River Through My Dreams written by . Nasdijj and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2001-09-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BLOOD RUNS LIKE A RIVER THROUGH MY DREAMS transports readers to the majestic landscapes and hard Native American lives of the desert Southwest and into the embrace of a way of looking at the world that seems almost like revelation. Born to a storytelling Native mother and a roughneck, song-singing cowboy father, Nasdijj has lived on the jagged-edged margins of American society, yet hardship and isolation have only brought him greater clarity--and a gift for language that is nothing short of breathtaking. Nasdijj tells of his adopted son, Tommy Nothing Fancy, of the young boy's struggle with fetal alcohol syndrome, and of their last fishing trip together. It is a heartbreaking story, written with great power and a diamondlike poetry. But whether Nasdijj is telling us about his son, about the chaotic, alternately harrowing and comical life he led with his own parents, or about the vitality and beauty of Native American culture, his voice is always one of searching honesty, wry humor, and a nearly cosmic compassion. While Nasdijj struggles with his impossible status as someone of two separate cultures, he also remains a contradiction in a larger sense: he cares for those who often shun him, he teaches hope though he often has none for himself, and he comes home to the land he then must leave. THE BLOOD RUNS LIKE A RIVER THROUGH MY DREAMS is the memoir of a man who has survived a hard life with grace, who has taken the past experience of pain and transformed it into a determination to care for the most vulnerable among us, and who has found an almost unspeakable beauty where others would find only sadness. This is a book that will touch your soul.

Download or read book War of the Bloods in My Veins written by DaShaun "Jiwe" Morris and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-01-27 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns harrowing, moving, and ultimately redemptive, this is a war story -- a war that rages out of control on the streets of the United States, claiming the lives of our loved ones and neighbors. In this memoir, complete with child soldiers, unspeakable violence, and eventual salvation, we witness the journey of an East Coast member of the notorious Bloods gang coming to terms with the lost boy he was and the transformation into the man he wants to become. Unlike the child warriors of Mozambique and Sierra Leone, gang members and the wars they wage are the United States' homegrown nightmare. Lacking protection, support, or any alternatives, Dashaun Morris is forced into battle for the first time at age eleven, in the streets of Phoenix, when a friend's older brothers put him in a car filled with 40s and weed smoke, put a gun in his hands, then make him point it at the men on the corner and squeeze the trigger. The targets are Crips, of course, and, as Morris writes, "In the darkness of the streets, my childhood is murdered.... I am reborn -- a gangster." In this haunting, violent memoir, Morris takes us through an American childhood turned grotesquely inside out. In the fourth grade, he loses his first friend in a drive-by shooting. By high school he is the man, a champion on the football field by day and a reputable banger on his 'hood turf by night. Living the life of a gang banger, Morris does it all -- drug dealing, jacking, and continuing the aimless war with rival gang members -- almost opening fire one night on a close friend, a cheerleader, as she hangs out with young men he mistakes for Crips. He eventually makes it to college on a football scholarship, but on the verge of being drafted by the NFL, Morris can't escape his gang-banging mentality and gets caught up in crimes that snatch away all future hopes. Sitting in a prison cell, he anticipates the birth of his first child while counting the friends he's buried. War of the Bloods in My Veins is part of Morris's redemption, a cry to his brothers that gang life is mental illness. It is a rare and brutally honest look into the relentless storm of abandonment, violence, crime, death, and the endless rush toward the complete and utter self-annihilation that plagues the lives of the young "soldiers" who die every day in our streets.

Book excerpt: Dan Lynch was the videographer for the Dutch band Golden Earring's Millbrook, USA DVD. How that incredible responsibility was bestowed upon him is an interesting story. This book is not a story about Golden Earring, but that of an American fan who had an addiction to the music and ultimately had the experience of a lifetime. In his own words, Dan tells some important and personal parts of his life. He was a kindergarten candy thief, a pencil poker, adventurer, run away, brawler, lifesaver and more. He wasn't a bad kid, but he did do some foolish things on the journey that made up his life. From the early 1960's and beyond, Dan listened to the popular music of the times. He enjoyed a lot of the tunes he was hearing, and had a few bands that he enjoyed above the rest. When his ears tuned to the songs of Golden Earring, he got sucked into a world of enjoyment, frustration and rewards. This is the story of an American Golden Earring fan.

Download or read book sh r written by Jalal Toufic and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Writing. Middle Eastern Studies. Religious Studies. ASHURA is largely made up of photographs or video stills of Ashura, the ceremony of self-flagellation and bloodletting performed by some Twelver Shi'ites to mark their wait for the coming of a twelfth imam. Blood literally soaks these men, the floor, the street, their sneakers, and Toufic's lens does not blink. Meanwhile his thoughts on the cultural and philosophic implications of the ritual, strangely cool and confident against a background of such ecstatic religious fervor, reframes everything from film to Islam to Toufic himself. Toufic writes: "Al-Husayn, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad and the son of the first Shi'ite imam, 'Ali, was slaughtered alongside many members of his family in the desert in 680. This memory is torture to me. But, basically, one can say "this memory is torture to me" of every memory, since each reminiscence envelops at some level the memory of the origin of memory..."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I can't go through with this! Lux Copper couldn’t go through with it: marrying Mario Blevins and becoming a part of his snobbish family just weeks before Christmas. He was okay, but their families push them together for some kind of alignment of fortunes or whatever. As she walked up the aisle, her mind raced, searching for an escape route. Lux locked eyes with Hudson Falk at the back of the chapel, her best friend. In that instant, he extended his hand to her. Without a second thought, Lux turned and ran to him, amidst shocked gasps and her father's angry voice. Little did she know, taking Hudson's hand would lead to more than she could have ever anticipated, making for a Christmas people could only dream of. Hudson Falk had fallen for Lux Cooper, from the moment they met. Playing the role of her best friend had been a challenge, especially when her father announced her engagement. He didn't fit into their refined, wealthy social circles, they would be in awe of his secret – he was the son of a Norse winter god in a human world. Those secrets were never meant to be revealed, until now, and only to Lux. Taking her hand and fleeing from the chapel with her presented him with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Their impromptu escape led to unexpected turns: "Let's run away to Norway?" – "Yes." "Let's get drunk and get married?" – "Okay, neither of them had anticipated that." "I'm actually a Norse god, and I do mystical things." – Lux looked skeptical until he showed her his true life. Now that Hudson had Lux, he had no intention of letting her go. After all, he was a Viking, and love was their expertise. Beneath the enchanting Northern Lights for Christmas, in a glass igloo, nestled in the snow. Hudson would show Lux how his kisses could warm her and how his love held no expectations, except enduring beyond a lifetime, just for her.
