Download or read book Stories Changing Lives written by Corinne Squire and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The seeds of the book were sown by a number of events, beginning over a decade ago, which foregrounded questions around the relationship between narrative and social change. The Centre for Narrative Research (CNR) at the University of East London hosted two international conferences on 'Narrative and social change' and 'Narrative and social justice', in 2007 and 2009; these topics were selected for sponsorship by the British Psychological Society's Qualitative Methods section. The 2012 Narrative Innovations summer school in Prato, Italy, organized by CNR alongside narrative researchers from Monash University, Australia, and Linkoping University, Sweden, which brought together graduate students from many countries, pointed up young narrative researchers' growing interests in social change. CNR and other narrative researchers' life story work with refugees, starting in 2015 in the so-called 'Jungle' refugee camp, in Calais, northern France (Africa et al., 2017), was an attempt to act on our social change interests in a more applied way. This work strengthened some of our ideas about the value of even minimal possibilities around personal narrative, as Bhabha's (2010) formulation of the 'right to narrate' suggests. A series of UK National Centre for Research Methods-funded events, in 2016, involving CNR, the Thomas Coram Research Unit at University College London, Edinburgh University's Centre for Narrative and Auto/biographical Studies, and visiting colleagues from South Africa and the US, also contributed to the book's making, by exploring participatory narrative research, addressing the involvement of research participants alongside researchers in all steps of the research, from defining research problems and doing the research, through to analysis, writing up and research dissemination"--

Download or read book Understanding Francisco Goldman written by Ariana E. Vigil and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length study of a writer whose work has been shaped by his unique heritage Award-winning writer and journalist Francisco Goldman is the author of novels and works of nonfiction and is a regular contributor to the New Yorker magazine. His awards include the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction and the T. R. Fyvel Book Award, as well as a Guggenheim Fellowship. Born to a Guatemalan mother and Jewish American father, Goldman's heritage has shaped his unique perspective and has had a significant influence on his literary themes. In Understanding Francisco Goldman, the first book-length study of Goldman's life and work, Ariana E. Vigil begins with a biographical chapter drawn largely from Goldman's essays and interviews. Her analytical chapters, one for each of Goldman's four novels and two works of nonfiction, offer biographical, historical, political, and literary context for each work while exploring major themes. Vigil examines the influence literary and political history have had in the development of Goldman's characters and themes, as well as his use of multiple literary genres and the role of humor in his work. She underscores how major themes in Goldman's work—migration, political violence, love, and loss—are explored across nations and time periods and how they remain significant today. In Understanding Francisco Goldman, Vigil draws connections between the writer's life and work and demonstrates the appreciation he deserves for his influence, diversity, and breadth. Through his thoughtful, intellectual, transnational writing, Goldman expands the definition of what it means to be American.

Book excerpt: "THOUGH AN ARMY BESIEGE ME..." On April 18, 1996 in Guatemala City, a group of masked, armed men entered my house to steal and destroy. They took my youngest son, who was six years old at the time, and his father. They were held for several weeks in exchange for a significant amount of money. Those were days of great pain and suffering, but they were also days in which we really came to know that God Almighty exists, and He is always aware of our heartache. We live in a world of sin and injustice, a world that chooses to follow its own course. We suffer the consequences of sin, on both a large and small scale, on a daily basis. No one is exempt. Suffering affords us the opportunity to understand that our intelligence, ability, or power becomes useless, and there is only one way out: to look to the One who overcame the world, the One who does have the power. The way out can seem impossible, but in His time, God always clears a new path. The great things that God did in the life of my family cannot be put away in a drawer, gather dust, and be forgotten. The same God who did great things during those painful days in 1996 can do miracles today in your life, if you will just believe. MARIA SPILLARI currently lives with her three children in the United States. Maria has actively served in women's, youth, and children's ministries for nearly 20 years in the churches that she has belonged to in Guatemala and in the United States. Her passion is teaching about the Word of God. www.mariaspillari.com-coming soon in English!
Download or read book Return Of Guatemala S Refugees written by Clark Taylor and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 13, 1982, the Guatemalan army stormed into the remote northern Guatemalan village of Santa Maria Tzeja. The villagers had already fled in terror, but over the next six days seventeen of them, mostly women and children, were caught and massacred, animals were slaughtered, and the entire village was burned to the ground. Twelve years later, utilizing terms of refugee agreements reached in 1982, villagers from Santa Maria who had fled to Mexico returned to their homes and lands to re-create their community with those who had stayed in Guatemala. Return of Guatemala's Refugees tells the story of that process. In this moving and provocative book, Clark Taylor describes the experiences of the survivors -- both those who stayed behind in conditions of savage repression and those who fled to Mexico where they learned to organize and defend their rights. Their struggle to rebuild is set in the wider drama of efforts by grassroots groups to pressure the government, economic elites, and army to fulfill peace accords signed in December of 1996. Focusing on the village of Santa Maria Tzeja, Taylor defines the challenges that faced returning refugees and their community. How did the opposing subcultures of fear (generated among those who stayed in Guatemala) and of education and human rights (experienced by those who took refuge in Mexico) coexist? Would the flood of international money sent to settle the refugees and fulfill the peace accords serve to promote participatory development or new forms of social control? How did survivors expand the space for democracy firmly grounded in human rights? How did they get beyond the grief and trauma that remained from the terror of the early eighties? Finally, the ultimate challenge, how did they work within conditions of extreme poverty to create a grassroots democracy in a militarized society?
