Book excerpt: In the timely yet timeless picture book Home Is in Between, critically acclaimed author Mitali Perkins and illustrator Lavanya Naidu describe the experience of navigating multiple cultures and embracing the complex but beautiful home in between. Shanti misses the warm monsoon rains in India. Now in America, she watches fall leaves fly past her feet. Still, her family’s apartment feels like a village: Mama cooking luchi, funny stories in Bangla, and Baba’s big laugh. But outside, everything is different – trick-or-treating, ballet class, and English books. Back and forth, Shanti trudges between her two worlds. She remembers her village and learns her new town. She watches Bollywood movies at home and Hollywood movies with her friends. She is Indian. She is also American. How should she define home?

Download or read book My March With C sar written by Marco E. López-Quezada and published by Prickly Pear Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My March with César" is a coming-of-age memoir of the chosen path of one young Chicano, Marco Lopez, through the farm worker movement, focusing on turbulent times in the 1960s, '70s and early '80s. The memoir covers the author's formative years in student politics, witnessing Cesar Chavez ending his 1968 fast for nonviolence alongside Robert Kennedy, Lopez's emersion in the United Farm Workers' international table grape boycott backed by millions of Americans, the landmark August, 1970 anti-Vietnam War Chicano Moratorium in East L.A., the signing that summer of the Delano grape growers' first union contracts and the battle against cynical sweet-heart deals between growers and Teamsters in the Salinas Valley row-crop industry.Lopez answers "the call" in 1970. Determined to become a movement lawyer, he obtains his degree from a top California law school and rejoins the struggle to organize farm workers. In 1979, Cesar Chavez asks him to serve as UFW general counsel during bitter field walkouts and internal union strife. This quixotic adventure, told in a lively and sometimes humorous bilingual and bi-cultural weave is well-paced, hypnotic, informative, and intriguing. These true accounts offer insights into historical and stormy times, many of which are still relevant in today's challenging era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last of the Lions is two histories woven into one remarkable story. It's a personal history – the evocative life of Clarence B. Jones, from his depression- and segregation-era upbringing at the hands of caring Irish Catholic nuns through our current era (when America elected a President to follow the first black man to hold the office with a man dog-whistling to white supremacists for four years). And all the amazing moments in between – his Ivy League years, his unprecedented dual role as simultaneous military draftee and protester, his work as an entertainment lawyer, financial and media entrepreneur, and more. But it's also the coming-of-age story of this country, with the kind of intimate observations and thought-provoking perspective that unfurl in classics like Soul on Ice, On the Road, and The Feminine Mystique. Between the time Jones was born and today, the landscape of America's relationship with her black citizenry has experienced a sea change. Jones is the bridge from one America to another – spanning poverty and prosperity, injustice and acceptance, Harlem and Wall Street, even spanning the militant philosophy of the radical black Nation of Islam and the Gandhian philosophy of Dr. King. His story is the connective tissue that clarifies our past, explains our present, and points to the way to the future. Jones suffered the iniquities, fought the battles, and unlike so many, lived to see both the fruits of his labor and its failings. But this book is far from a treatise on race; Jones witnessed (and participated in) nearly every one of the most important political and social movements from the 1950s right up until today. Eight crucial decades that defined the "American Experience" and Jones was in the thick of it. Last of the Lions offers a vibrant perspective on human nature and light and dark sides of American values. Jones presents a guide to the ever-pressing – and even after 400 years the still-unfinished – business in our country: the erasing of the color line. Ferguson could have happened half a century ago, but it happed half a decade ago. A path to true freedom laid out by perhaps the only man alive with the personal experience and social context to tackle the issue head-on. History never felt so present, philosophy so urgent.

Download or read book Lion Let Loose written by Nigel Tranter and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2011-12-08 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James the First of Scots was an extraordinary man: poet, thinker warrior, athlete and statesman. And prisoner - for he was held captive for almost half his adult life. He possessed that fatal Stewart capacity to arouse both love and hatred; to attract both undying loyalty and the darkest treachery. His romance with the proud English beauty Joanna Beaufort is one of the great love stories of history, and the love for him of Catherine Douglas, one of the most poignant. In this compelling novel, Nigel Tranter vividly recreates the turbulent life of a remarkable man and the troubled times in which he lived.
