She will break the mold of where and what women were doing in her timeline. She now accepts the challenge of building an Andrew School for children and especially orphans.

Now, the sandal, with God's help, begins an important maze journey for Jacob, Nathanael, Philip, and his sister, Mariamne, along with Mugface and his family. With ensuing international turmoil in the latter end of the maze, Lee Chin meets the Zhang Family. Speculus the gladiator has now gotten into her human desire!

Download or read book Into the Heart of Darkness written by Jacques Pauw and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacques Pauw has been an investigative journalist for more than three decades. Before the phenomenal success of The President's Keepers, he spent years tracking down apartheid death squads. Into the Heart of Darkness, first released in 1997, was the result of this work. Despite official denials and cover-ups, the rumours of apartheid's death squads have now been proved to be all too real. Hundreds of anti-apartheid activists were killed and thousands tortured by a group of bizarre assassins, the foot soldiers of apartheid's secret war. Jacques Pauw has been more closely involved with apartheid's killers than any other journalist. For more than seven years, he has hunted them down and become a witness to their secret and forbidden world. Into the Heart of Darkness will take you on a journey into the minds and lives of the men who went out to kill and kill again. What caused these souls to become so dark and guided them to so much evil?
Download or read book Next Generation Memory and Ukrainian Canadian Children s Historical Fiction written by Mateusz Świetlicki and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book monograph devoted to Anglophone Ukrainian Canadian children’s historical fiction published between 1991 and 2021. It consists of five chapters offering cross-sectional and interdisciplinary readings of 41 books – novels, novellas, picturebooks, short stories, and a graphic novel. The first three chapters focus on texts about the complex process of becoming Ukrainian Canadian, showcasing the experiences of the first two waves of Ukrainian immigration to Canada, including encounters with Indigenous Peoples and the First World War Internment. The last two chapters are devoted to the significance of the cultural memory of the Holodomor, the Great Famine of 1932-1933, and the Second World War for Ukrainian Canadians. All the chapters demonstrate the entanglements of Ukrainian and Canadian history and point to the role Anglophone children’s literature can play in preventing the symbolical seeds of memory from withering. This volume argues that reading, imagining, and reimagining history can lead to the formation of beyond-textual next-generation memory. Such memory created through reading is multidimensional as it involves the interpretation of both the present and the past by an individual whose reality has been directly or indirectly shaped by the past over which they have no influence. Next-generation memory is of anticipatory character, which means that authors of historical fiction anticipate the readers – both present-day and future – not to have direct links to any witnesses of the events they discuss and to have little knowledge of the transcultural character of the Ukrainian Canadian diaspora.

Download or read book Living the Independence Dream Ukraine and Ukrainians in Contemporary Socio Political Context written by Lada Kolomiyets and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Ukrainians, 1991 was a crucial point when their long-held dream of independence came true. The image of the future life in independent Ukraine was then almost identical to folklore images of Ukraine as the land of milk and honey. "Living the Independence Dream" takes a multi-dimensional look at the period of regained independence as a time of advancement towards the realization of collective dreams shaping the post-Soviet nation, even through everyday disappointments, anxiety, and uncertainty. The collection features personal accounts of several generations of Ukrainians who found themselves displaced by political upheavals in foreign lands, as well as the voices of recently displaced people who left the Donbas or other regions of Ukraine following the outbreak of the Russian aggression. It revisits the legacy of Soviet dissidents and explores the ideologies of Ukrainian language revival and the ways that memory and language construct Ukrainian identity and generate vital energy amidst war. The collection "Living the Independence Dream" aims to analyze the agency of contemporary Ukrainian people and the role of media, literature, and digital folklore in creating new messages, meanings, and values formed during the Independence decades.

Download or read book Warfare written by Lesia S Hayden and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-22 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare: The Revelation will enlighten the reader and reveal God’s plan of redemption, reconciliation, and restoration. As God’s purpose is revealed through each chapter, the reader will experience liberation and freedom as they come to an understanding of what Christ conquered for us through his death and resurrection. In addition, Warfare: The Revelation will have a profound impact upon the church, ushering it into another level of prayer and intercession against the powers of Satan’s kingdom. The Christian community, those ensnared with bondages, the mentally oppressed, or those who just want to know the mind and plan of God for this generation will find this book to be a relevant guide for teaching and instruction to the complex issues that the Church face in today’s society. For those who are visual learners, the illustrations of the development and progression of sin, including the administration of the celestial hierarchy will eliminate the ambiguity that surrounds the topic of spiritual warfare. The advancing of the kingdom of God on the earth will not be demonstrated in human strength but in the bond of holiness, prayer, and love. This enlightening, challenging, and timely revelation will grab the attention of the reader as the mind and love of God is revealed. The pursuer of truth will be in awe of God’s strategy to redeem the human race from the power of Satan’s kingdom in order to restore the relationship that humanity once shared with Him in the Garden of Eden.
Download or read book Ukrainians of Chicagoland written by Myron B. Kuropas Ph.D. and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-08 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukrainians arrived in Chicagoland in four distinct waves: 1900-1914, 1923-1939, 1948-1956, and 1990-2006. At the beginning of the 20th century, immigrants from Ukraine came to Chicago seeking work, and in 1905, a Ukrainian American religio-cultural community, now officially named Ukrainian Village, was formally established. Barely conscious of their ethnonational identity, Ukraine's early immigrants called themselves Rusyns (Ruthenians). Thanks to the socio-educational efforts of Eastern-rite Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox priests, some Rusyns began calling themselves Ukrainians, developing a distinct national identity in concert with their brethren in Ukraine.
Download or read book Russia and Ukraine written by Myroslav Shkandrij and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2001-10-09 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of civilizational superiority and redemptive assimilation, widely held among nineteenth-century Russian intellectuals, helped to form stereotypes of Ukraine and Ukrainians in travel writings, textbooks, and historical fiction, stereotypes that have been reactivated in ensuing decades. Both Russian and Ukrainian writers have explored the politics of identity in the post-Soviet period, but while the canon of Russian imperial thought is well known, the tradition of resistance B which in the Ukrainian case can be traced as far back as the meeting of the Russian and Ukrainian polities and cultures of the seventeenth century B is much less familiar. Shkandrij demonstrates that Ukrainian literature has been marginalized in the interests of converting readers to imperial and assimilatory designs by emphasizing narratives of reunion and brotherhood and denying alterity.
