Book excerpt: Letting her escape was their biggest mistake. After barely escaping Kartega with their lives, Sid and her friends find themselves hiding on the Arcturus in an endless loop of counted days. Between fixing the rust bucket of a ship they live in, struggling to contain the numbing magic of the keys implanted in her neck and fighting her growing feelings for the brooding warrior on board — Sid has her days full. As days turn into weeks, Sid grapples with the possibility of returning back to the star, the place she’d like to one day call her home. But how could she ever find her way back without jeopardizing everything they’ve fought so valiantly to achieve? While Sid tumbles through space, the vicious and blood-thirsty queen takes control of Kartega once more. As the domes fall under attack, no one is safe from the queens wrath. With supplies running low and time running out, Sid must decide if she will stay in hiding or risk everything to return to Kartega and save the domes from destruction. What began as a rescue mission becomes a fight for freedom and Sid finds herself, yet again, in the center of an epic battle for control of the star. Unfortunately for Sid, sometimes when you wish to find where you belong, you get exactly what you wish for… *** What reviewers are saying about the series: ★★★★★ "This story is an edge of the seat, a hair-raising adventure that you won’t want to miss reading!" - Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "I am in awe of Sid...she's innovative, inquisitive, and heartfelt.

Download or read book The Perfect Nine written by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling, genre-defying novel in verse from the author Delia Owens says “tackles the absurdities, injustices, and corruption of a continent” Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s novels and memoirs have received glowing praise from the likes of President Barack Obama, the New Yorker, the New York Times Book Review, The Guardian, and NPR; he has been a finalist for the Man International Booker Prize and is annually tipped to win the Nobel Prize for Literature; and his books have sold tens of thousands of copies around the world. In his first attempt at the epic form, Ngũgĩ tells the story of the founding of the Gĩkũyũ people of Kenya, from a strongly feminist perspective. A verse narrative, blending folklore, mythology, adventure, and allegory, The Perfect Nine chronicles the efforts the Gĩkũyũ founders make to find partners for their ten beautiful daughters—called “The Perfect Nine” —and the challenges they set for the 99 suitors who seek their hands in marriage. The epic has all the elements of adventure, with suspense, danger, humor, and sacrifice. Ngũgĩ’s epic is a quest for the beautiful as an ideal of living, as the motive force behind migrations of African peoples. He notes, “The epic came to me one night as a revelation of ideals of quest, courage, perseverance, unity, family; and the sense of the divine, in human struggles with nature and nurture.”

Download or read book Rhythms of the Afro Atlantic World written by Ifeoma C.K. Nwankwo and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-11-22 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Collecting essays by fourteen expert contributors into a trans-oceanic celebration and critique, Mamadou Diouf and Ifeoma Kiddoe Nwankwo show how music, dance, and popular culture turn ways of remembering Africa into African ways of remembering. With a mix of Nuyorican, Cuban, Haitian, Kenyan, Senegalese, Trinidagonian, and Brazilian beats, Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World proves that the pleasures of poly-rhythm belong to the realm of the discursive as well as the sonic and the kinesthetic." ---Joseph Roach, Sterling Professor of Theater, Yale University "As necessary as it is brilliant, Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World dances across, beyond, and within the Black Atlantic Diaspora with the aplomb and skill befitting its editors and contributors." ---Mark Anthony Neal, author of Soul Babies: Black Popular Culture and the Post-Soul Aesthetic Along with linked modes of religiosity, music and dance have long occupied a central position in the ways in which Atlantic peoples have enacted, made sense of, and responded to their encounters with each other. This unique collection of essays connects nations from across the Atlantic---Senegal, Kenya, Trinidad, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States, among others---highlighting contemporary popular, folkloric, and religious music and dance. By tracking the continuous reframing, revision, and erasure of aural, oral, and corporeal traces, the contributors to Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World collectively argue that music and dance are the living evidence of a constant (re)composition and (re)mixing of local sounds and gestures. Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World distinguishes itself as a collection focusing on the circulation of cultural forms across the Atlantic world, tracing the paths trod by a range of music and dance forms within, across, or beyond the variety of locales that constitute the Atlantic world. The editors and contributors do so, however, without assuming that these paths have been either always in line with national, regional, or continental boundaries or always transnational, transgressive, and perfectly hybrid/syncretic. This collection seeks to reorient the discourse on cultural forms moving in the Atlantic world by being attentive to the specifics of the forms---their specific geneses, the specific uses to which they are put by their creators and consumers, and the specific ways in which they travel or churn in place. Mamadou Diouf is Leitner Family Professor of African Studies, Director of the Institute of African Studies, and Professor of History at Columbia University. Ifeoma Kiddoe Nwankwo is Associate Professor of English at Vanderbilt University. Jacket photograph by Elias Irizarry

Download or read book Love s Rite written by R. Vanita and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-10-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to examine the same-sex weddings and same-sex couple suicides reported in India over the last two decades. Ruth Vanita examines these cases in the context of a wide variety of same-sex unions, from Fourteenth-century narratives about co-wives who miraculously produce a child together, to Nineteenth-century depictions of ritualized unions between women, to marriages between gay men and lesbians arranged over the internet. Examining the changing legal, literary, religious and social Indian and Euro-American traditions within which same-sex unions are embedded, she brings a fresh perspective to the gay marriage debate, suggesting that same-sex marriage dwells not at the margins but at the heart of culture. Love's Rites by Ruth Vanita is a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award.

Download or read book Struggle for Justice written by Jaranaila Siṅgha (Santa) and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work consists of translation of speeches & conversations from the originals in Punjabi. The popular leader of a Sikh religious revival, Sant Bhindranwale is perhaps one of the most misrepresented figures in recent history. He spoke only Punjabi & authentic material in English has been virtually non-existent. During the religious oppression that followed his death in the 1948 Indian army attack, people hurried to destroy relevant records to avoid persecution. Through this culmination of fifteen years of painstaking research the author has given us a rare opportunity to meet & understand this man through his own words. Also included is an introductory essay describing the Sant's mission & martyrdom. This publication stimulates some provocative questions. Many people in the media & academia, who expect transparency from the state agencies & hold them accountable for their words & deeds, might have to undertake a probing self-analysis. They might ask themselves, where were they when the official media blitz of misinformation completely distorted the truth? The author is Professor Emeritus at The Ohio State University.
