Download or read book Global Indigenous Communities written by Lavonna L. Lovern and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Indigenous Communities is a wide-ranging examination of global Indigenous communities that continue to suffer from colonization and assimilation issues, including intergenerational trauma. The scholarship is interdisciplinary; it is not easily categorized as sociology, anthropology, ethnography, or philosophy, but cuts across all of these disciplines, as well as Indigenous methodologies. The book not only presents an academic study of Indigenous issues, covering Indigenous community life, religion, the environment, economic matters, education, and healthcare, but also incorporates contributions from Carol Locust, EdD, that reflect on her lifetime of experience in Indigenous education and healthcare. Each studied prism of Indigenous life is revealed to be impacted by the experience of intergenerational trauma that results from continued colonization. Ultimately, this book aims to bridge the communication gap between Western and Indigenous scholarship and readership, artfully combining Indigenous approaches with a traditional academic style.

Now is their chance to start fresh in a new town with a loving adoptive family. The boys thrive in their new home, and they experience many of the typical ups and downs of a “normal” childhood in the 1950s. They are free of the abuses and draconian restrictions that their late father visited upon them after he became obsessed with the fanatical doctrines of the Radio Church of God. Kevin soon makes a desperate attempt to prevent a large family from falling victim to that abusive religious cult. The brothers can now freely pursue their own interests, the most alluring of which, are fledgling romantic relationships. Kevin gets bitten by the technology bug, and he starts building a number of electronic projects including a vacuum tube shortwave transmitter. But the boys’ new life is tarnished when ominous vaguely written letters start to arrive at their new home that seemingly blame them for the house fire that resulted in the deaths of their father and older sibling. Although the boys bravely try to get on with their lives, their world soon comes crashing down when an unknown enemy decides it is time to take retribution on them for a sin they did not commit. Rebirth is the second book in the Threefold Cord series that follows the lives of the three young brothers who have developed an unbreakable bond with one another. A combination of nostalgia, youthful adventures, misadventures, and intrigue, this book is a delightful mix of genres that will keep readers entertained and enthralled until the last page.

Book excerpt: I'M LIZETTE CLARY, also known as legendary Internet meme Epic Fail Girl. And for the last three months, I've been Jason Moon's pet project. Yes, that Jason Moon. The one with the Pulitzer. He's spending six months training me to become a worthy New Media Editor at RMG, and I've never been so happy being told everything I do is wrong. Truthfully, I'm more than a little bit into Jason, and the feeling is mutual. Our arrangement's more personal than professional. But he won't work with me if I don't follow his rules: No kissing, no sex, and no falling in love. No big deal! My career is rising fast, dudes hurl themselves at my feet, and there's no reason for me to be hung up on the one man I can't have. Even if I've destroyed three Hitachis and a dozen Kleenex boxes over him. Wait, where'd I put my copy of The Notebook? I need a drink. I'M JASON MOON, and I'm in deep trouble. I set out to change Lizette Clary. Instead, I'm confronting the cost of prioritizing work over romance in my empty bed every night. For the first time, the price seems too much, my walls too high, my life too lonely. Every day, it feels less crazy to imagine Lizette in my life for the long term. She's made it clear she doesn't want forever, and I won't settle for anything less. She doesn't deserve another powerful man obsessing over her. There's not a thought in her head I didn't put there, and I won't take advantage of the power I have as her dominant. I've set our rules for a reason: No kissing, no sex, no falling in love. I've only got to make it through my last three months at RMG. And then, somehow, I have to walk away without Lizette Clary. MY FAIR MILLENNIAL 2 is still a romantic comedy slowly building to an HEA over several books. This modern-day Pygmalion is riddled with offensive age-related humor, super-obscure pop culture jokes, and steamy hot eye-sex at inappropriate times.

Download or read book All That Road Going written by A. G. Mojtabai and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2008-05-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the middle of the night, somewhere in Oklahoma—or is it Missouri?—a bus hurtles down an anonymous American highway. Its passengers, among them two children traveling on their own, a retired salesman, an unwed teenage mother, an unemployed chemist, and the driver who ferries and broods over all of them, are in the middle of their journeys. Soon, two of the passengers will be lost, and then the bus itself will lose its way. The open road and, before that, the open frontier have long been part of the American romance, cherished features of the nation's traditional vision of itself. In her latest novel, A. G. Mojtabai stands this tradition on its head. Instead of the expansive thrust into unknown territory, the camaraderie of the open road, adventure, and the joys of vagabondage, we witness constriction, isolation, and fear. Instead of freedom, we find people fleeing from coast to coast in search of home and the ever-beckoning, ever-retreating promise of a better life. Richly drawn, evocative, and thought-provoking, All That Road Going is a challenging new departure from the road novel canon.
