Her life story begins with her wild rock and roll years in New York and continues on to tell of her hippie days in San Francisco and Goa where hippies of the world converged to partake in a bohemian lifestyle. Here, her heady ways were combined with a few unfortunate incidents and wrong choices, ultimately leading her to her spiritual awakening, but not before paying a dear price. This compelling story line weaves 1960s and 70s style hedonism, Indian culture, drugs, family, devastation, passion, spirituality, and endearing characters into an engaging tale. The author takes you on a journey of vivid impressions, bringing to life the spirit of a lost era.

Download or read book From Monologue to Dialogue written by Edwin Jurriëns and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Monologue to Dialogue: Radio and Reform in Indonesia analyses how radio journalism since the late 1990s has been shaped by and contributed to Reformasi, or the ambition of democratizing Indonesian politics, economy and society. The book examines ideas and practices such as independent journalism, peace journalism, meta-journalism, virtual interactivity, talk-back radio and community radio, which have all been designed to renew audience interest in media and societal affairs. It pays special attention to radio programmes that enable hosts, experts, listeners and other participants to discuss and negotiate the very rules and boundaries of Indonesia’s newly acquired media freedom. The author argues that these contemporary programmes provide dialogic alternatives to the official New Order discourse dominated by monologism.

Download or read book Cosmopatriots written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyzes mediated articulations of “cosmopatriotism” in East and South-East Asian popular cultures and arts. Cosmopatriots navigate between a loyalty to the home country and a sense of longing for and belonging to the world. Rather than searching for the truly globalized cosmopolitans, the authors of this collection look for the postcolonial, rooted cosmopolitans who insist on thinking and feeling simultaneously beyond and within the nation. The cultural sites they discuss include Hong Kong, Indonesia, China, Singapore, the United States, South Korea and Australia. They show how media from both sides of the arbitrary divide between high art and popular culture – including film, literature, the fine arts, radio, music, television and mobile phones – function as vehicles for the creation and expression of, or reflection upon, intersections between patriotism and cosmopolitanism.

Book excerpt: Miles Alexander, son of an Alabama sharecropper, is a successful business and entertainment lawyer with interests as distant as Costa Rica, where—much to his law partners’ dismay—he is about to acquire a local restaurant chain from the notorious coffee baron, Humberto Cabrera, one of the wealthiest and most mysterious dons of Central America. Miles’ success however has distanced him from his roots, altered his belief system, his political views, and the values that shaped him. Fearing Miles will suffer the same fate as his grandfather, who was crippled at about Miles’ age, Mary Rose Alexander, the Dove, through a series of transpersonal (quantum) exchanges with Miles while he’s in Costa Rica, draws him back to Ohio, where upon his arrival she suffers a disabling stroke that marks the beginning of a long and sometimes painful journey, during which time, in the afterglow of his Mother’s Light, Miles’ rediscovers what is truly pleasing to his soul, revealed to him in his hometown, where he is forced to confront issues of race prejudice, poverty and hopelessness, that are part of Lessons of Home. Can he get beyond the sudden and jarring rift with his white law partner, the antagonist Reid Lowell? Can he rise above temptation and unbridled materialism, and embrace compassion and community over competition and individualism? Or will he return to his old ways and suffer the fate his mother is all too aware of? Reid Milbank Lowell, scion of wealthy planters from Georgia, finds that his financial and lifestyle interests in the continued success of the law firm, Alexander, Seasongood & Lowell, far outweigh Miles’ personal interests, leading to a conflict between the two men that is nothing less than a clash of cultures. The law firm, and its representation of rappers and others antithetical to Reid’s antebellum roots, has led Reid to stray from the path his fathers would have him follow. Will he continue along the same path and suffer the same fate as the mythical Narcissus in a classic case of Death by Envy? Or will he change in time to avoid a painful ending and the wrath of his ancestors?
