Download or read book My Story written by Bonitto and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Story is told by a young girl who had to grow up faster than any child should. It is April’s story, told in April’s voice. Readers follow April as she witnesses the awesome beauty of storms, births, and mangoes, feels the terror of a singularly unpleasant stepfather, the joy of an aunt with whom she feels a truly authentic connection, and the unimaginable anguish caused by the loss of that connection. But through her loss, April’s story takes on fascinating new dimensions. After her Auntie Marcie moves away, My Story ceases to be a simple memoir about growing up in Jamaica and turns into an intricately layered commentary on otherness and recursive patterns of violence and neglect within families. Fleeing the dominion of her stepfather Freddie, April and her siblings come under the protection of her Gramma. Little do they know, this protection is not what it seems, as April finds herself struggling to raise her entire family nearly single-handedly. Bonitto’s sparse prose leaves no facet of this journey unexplored, as April contends with an environment she knows nothing about, against odds which seem inevitably stacked against her. My Story isn’t just April’s story; it belongs to anybody who lived through such hard times, they thought they’d never even get to tell about them.

Download or read book Songs of Silence written by Curdella Forbes and published by Hodder Education. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many great and enduring works of literature by Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories, overflowing with life and acute observations about society. 'Falling in the spaces between knowing and not knowing, between silence and not speaking' Told from the perspective of Marlene, Songs of Silence is a vivid collection of reflections and recollections that meander through life in rural Jamaica, observing the lives and bonds of its colourful, boisterous inhabitants. Rich, poetical and profoundly contemplative, the recollections transcend the gossip and intrigue, the unsaid thoughts and silences, to ossify in a maturation of selfhood. It is not the 'Bam! Baddam!' of Papacita but rather the murmur of the river, this inexplicable river, and its cool morning misty silence that settles across this collection, singing to it and to the reader in a thoughtful lull and soft hum.

Download or read book Central Two Zero Seven Nine Out written by Paul Canning and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What sort of a life do you make for yourself when there is no focus? How does your life pan out as you ride the vicissitudes of a dog eat dog, cut throat employment market? How do you chase your dreams into adulthood to find love, happiness and success, when you carry inside yourself a childhood, dejected, insecure, unstable and with what tiny morsel of confidence you possess – in tatters, because you've been at the mercy of a bullying control freak – your own father? I have survived so much mental anguish with confidence renewed following a difficult and painful education in Blackpool. After handwriting 100 letters, I landed my first job - cutting my teeth as a London-based portrait and wedding photographer in early summer 1986. A life on the ocean wave then beckoned, which turned me from nervous novice ship's photographer to expert smudger working aboard cruise liners worldwide. In 1990 I settled down, met the girl of my dreams and landed a fabulous job – Metropolitan Police Service forensic photographer. In the late 1990s I qualified as a Hendon-based instructor, leaving the police in 2004 to set up a business. If that wasn't enough, I then retrained as a medical photographer in 2008 and I'm now a medical photography manager working for Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Both journey and path to success have been a miracle in the making.

Download or read book Remixology written by Paul Sullivan and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dub is the avant-garde verso of reggae, created by manipulating and reshaping recordings using studio strategies and techniques. While dub was one of the first forms of popular music to turn the idea of song inside out, it is far from being fully explored. Tracing the evolution of dub, Remixology travels from Kingston, Jamaica, across the globe, following dub’s influence on the development of the MC, the birth of sound system culture, and the postwar Jamaican diaspora. Starting in 1970s Kingston, Paul Sullivan examines the origins of dub as a genre, approach, and attitude. He stops off in London, Berlin, Toronto, Bristol, and New York, exploring those places where dub had the most impact and investigates its effect on postpunk, dub-techno, jungle, and the dubstep. Along the way, Sullivan speaks with a host of international musicians, DJs, and luminaries of the dub world, from DJ Spooky, Adrian Sherwood, Channel, and Roy to Shut Up and Dance and Roots Manuva. Wide-ranging and lucid, Remixology sheds new light on the dub-born notions of remix and reinterpretation that set the stage for the music of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Becoming an Engaged Educational Leader written by Ian Marshall and published by IAP. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the uncharted territory of mid-career educational leadership with Becoming an Engaged Educational Leader: Navigating Mid-Career Growth and Development. This book addresses the notable gap in educational leadership literature, focusing on the pivotal but often overlooked mid-career phase. It does not aim to be the ultimate guide but serves as a catalyst to stimulate critical thinking, dialogue, and action among educational leaders. Mid-career leadership is a phase where experienced leaders grapple with unique challenges, standing at the crossroads of their careers. This book delves into the multifaceted aspects of mid-career educational leadership, offering readers a comparative lens by drawing upon experiences and practices from different countries. It recognizes that educational systems are influenced by cultural, social, and economic factors specific to each jurisdiction. Intended for mid-career educational leaders and administrators, as well as educators shaping the next generation of leaders, this resource provides valuable insights and practical guidance. With vignettes and reflective questions at the end of each chapter, it fosters critical thinking and meaningful discussions among students. Join us on a journey to enhance mid-career leadership in education and contribute to the overall improvement of our educational systems. ENDORSEMENTS: "This nine-chapter volume is a captivating work highlighting the value of engagement; the necessity, joys, and pain of growth during a challenging period; and the complexities of the middle years, and (in some instances) mid-careers. The publication represents a thoughtful exploration of a range of important issues that confront school leaders in their middle years, the period during which the natural enthusiasm of engagement with the job begins to wane and the lure of cessation from the task beckons. Given the attendant risks for school performance during this period of a leader’s journey, the contribution of this work to shaping the outlook of school leaders and strengthening their resolve, cannot be overstated. The book is a valuable resource for practitioners in the field as well as graduate and undergraduate students preparing to assume leadership roles in schools." - Canute S. Thompson, The University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, Jamaica. "Becoming an Engaged Educational Leader: Navigating Mid-Career Growth and Development” is a much-needed edited volume that addresses the often-ignored mid-career stage of the educational leader’s development. Through their collective work, the editors and chapter authors emphasize the need for school leaders to sustain their professional growth and development through engagement with stakeholders amidst being pulled in multiple directions by educational reforms, policies, and work demands. With its international scope, the book offers valuable perspectives, lessons, and strategies that mid-career school leaders can draw from to grow their leadership capacity and to engage in transformative practices in their organizations." - Benjamin Kutsyuruba, Queen’s University, Canada

Download or read book Postcolonial Literary Geographies written by John Thieme and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how ideas about place and space have been transformed in recent decades. It offers a unique understanding of the ways in which postcolonial writers have contested views of place as fixed and unchanging and are remapping conceptions of world geography, with chapters on cartography, botany and gardens, spice, ecologies, animals and zoos, and cities, as well as reference to the importance of archaeology and travel in such debates. Writers whose work receives detailed attention include Amitav Ghosh, Derek Walcott, Jamaica Kincaid, Salman Rushdie, Michael Ondaatje and Robert Kroetsch. Challenging both older colonial and more recent global constructions of place, the book argues for an environmental politics that is attentive to the concerns of disadvantaged peoples, animal rights and ecological issues. Its range and insights make it essential reading for anyone interested in the changing physical and human geography of the contemporary world.
