Book No Land an Island

Download or read book No Land an Island written by Carolyn LaDelle Bennett and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From internationalist and nonpartisan progressive, author of "Same Ole or Something New" and "BREAKDOWN," comes another thought-provoking work NO LAND AN ISLAND NO PEOPLE APART challenging readers to face the "callously immoral, lawless, relentlessly regressive model in U.S. foreign relations"; and embrace an authentic progressivism. "This book is unconcerned with political fi gures per se (or their parties)," Bennett says, "but rather with a malignant system maintained by a parade of tentacled regimes whose offi cial (elected) base of operation begins in the capital of the United States, a system that is seemingly endorsed by the people of the United States." The author maintains that the United States has created and entrenched a narrow worldview, espousing an attitude that all land and peoples belong to America to use and abuse, to pillage and plunder. In this work, Dr. Carolyn LaDelle Bennett takes a second look at U.S. relations with Afghanistan and Pakistan, Iran and Iraq, Bahrain and Yemen, Libya and Somalia; and sees a continuing BREAKDOWN that worsens in act and consequence. She then presents her own ideas and worldview; and a challenge to embrace a nonviolent, transformative, inclusive progressivism imbued with a sense of global society, a sensibility that inspires constructive, continuous forward movement. Bold and daring, NO LAND AN ISLAND NO PEOPLE APART is an educator's guide, a philosopher's critique, a news writer's eye, an internationalist's sensibility chronicling U.S. foreign relations violence and the human costs East Africa crossing the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden into Persia, the Middle East, South Central Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “miraculous” (Newsweek) human drama, based on a true story, from the renowned author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini The island is nearly deserted, haunting, beautiful. Across a slip of ocean lies South Carolina. But for the handful of families on Yamacraw Island, America is a world away. For years the people here lived proudly from the sea, but now its waters are not safe. Waste from industry threatens their very existence unless, somehow, they can learn a new way. But they will learn nothing without someone to teach them, and their school has no teacher—until one man gives a year of his life to the island and its people. Praise for The Water Is Wide “Miraculous . . . an experience of joy.”—Newsweek “A powerfully moving book . . . You will laugh, you will weep, you will be proud and you will rail . . . and you will learn to love the man.”—Charleston News and Courier “A hell of a good story.”—The New York Times “Few novelists write as well, and none as beautifully.”—Lexington Herald-Leader “[Pat] Conroy cuts through his experiences with a sharp edge of irony. . . . He brings emotion, writing talent and anger to his story.”—Baltimore Sun
